I hear ya, and totally understand. I feel like that a lot of the time too. I just got out of treatment for an eating disorder. I made lots of friends, but feel unimportant when I see them getting together on fb and not inviting me. When they say they can't do something when I ask if we can get together, which becomes a regular thing. Then I see them on fb or instagram doing things with each other. It sucks to feel like no one cares. I also have to keep in mind that I do have at least one person who cares about me and loves me. It's just really easy to forget when I'm feeling upset and discluded. I also have BPD and that makes it so much harder to know if my feelings and thoughts are a reality. To me, I find proof based off of the perceived avoidance from others, but apparently that is not considered proof. It's always best to fact check that with the people that you feel dont care ( if they are safe people). I am sorry you are feeling so alone. Just know that you are not alone in that.

Yes that's exactly how I feel like it's proof when they kind of avoid me but I also release that maybe they are giving me space to see if I can get better. I think they're worried I might get too overwhelmed but I don't like the distance and why they won't tell me why. I hate feeling alone it makes me feel so angry because I feel so abandoned and isolated.

No one likes anyone, you only like the reflection of yourself from other people

I can relate with you as there are many times where I have the exact same feelings. I never had many friends to start off with, and as time has gone on I've drifted from the "friends" I've made. I put that word in quotes because I don't even feel like they were truly my friends. I've learned to accept that fact. As for Facebook the same can apply on there. I'll post something on FB and most times it'll get no likes or comments which is kind of deflating but not surprising for me; other times it'll get a few likes or a couple comments and while it makes me feel a bit happier, I have to wonder if they truly care about what I posted - if that makes sense.

You're not alone in this feeling and I'm sorry you've had to experience these types of emotions.

I think I just need to do what is best for me and also what I have been avoiding to do take care of myself number one before others. Especially now that I broke my ankle and had surgery I need to take it easy on emotions and detach myself from drama and overanalyzing.

Do some volunteer works. Maybe you can catch up some friends there. By doing good work, you will be more friendly, more open so that everyone will like you and wanna make friend with you. Hey, I can be your friend too. We should get to know more about each other.

I feel the same way. I thought I had a couple friends but I really don't. This past weekend I was left in a city about 30 minutes from the city I live in! Obviously not my friends. Really been bugging me.

Hey there black-roses I know that feeling but that's all it is a feeling not reality. I go thru
Something very similar but I've come to find out that friends /people will not make you happy. I know this because I joined a group of people, and I still felt alone. It gets better with time and patience. Good friends are not made in a day. Slowly build relationships join a club, take a class, volunteer. But keep in mind not everyone admits that they need friends just take interest in others first.
I found this video hope it helps
Thanks for this!

Look how many responses you got! You have friends here. I am new here....and no one has said a word to me. Think YOU feel alone? I have posted in some of the forums and have had no response. The same thing happens to me on Facebook. Its not a good feeling....especially when we feel so bad anyway.

Sometimes we just alienate ourselves being angry at the world and people just back off cause they think you need time? Who knows...

Even I have experienced that feeling. Being left alone and ignored. But remember your family. No matter what others think of you, your family will always accept you. They will never left you behind.

I know that feeling. I have undergone the same path as you did. It is an early sign of depression. Seek comfort from your family, they will always be there to make you feel your importance.

I don't know if real friends even exist... All I know if I had a duplicate of myself we would hug eachother and cry for a few hours and then smile and never let go... sounds gay? Well... I don't really think of myself as a male human... rather an entity... a rather lonely entity...

I don't have many friends. There is one person I met on here that I talk to daily. That has helped. I don't go out and do things as I really don't have the money but having some one to chat with in private messaging is nice. Although we don't hang out, I think we have some pretty good friends here on PC.😉

I generally get along with most people at work, but I only consider one of them a friend. And we only see each other at work. My weekends are VERY lonely.

I know I've been depressed for years psychiatrists didn't really want to medicate me at 14 because sometimes the side effect of meds is suicidal thoughts. I get those, I get a lot of cutting but I know that my family would be broken if I died. I had a friend that committed suicide three years ago and the pain never really went away. It's still there it still there when I speak about her even though I remember her so warmly it still hurts that beautiful person would end their own life. xx
