I feel like there's no one out there and that I am invisible. Single and lonely. I can see pple outside smiling and sharing things with others, but I feel like I'm so alone in the world - no one calls and I feel as if no one even SEES me... Feel like life will never change - I will never have anyone to hug and love.

Well, we at PC see you Depression IS the pits eh?

I think we feel alone a lot of the time...I know at least I do.

I was that girl in gym class that always got picked last...got picked last for everything, actually. I was never that popular. Nobody ever called me or talked to me. I often got taunted and tortured in school. I don't even know if my "friends" were truly my friends. I have a hard time fitting in, I guess.

If you need to talk I'm here.

[ouch]

I was also the one picked last for everything. The 3 worst combination of words in school were: "find a partner"
I was extremely shy. Now, as an adult, I am having trouble finding a partner so the same issues from childhood seem to haunt me, the same loneliness. The only difference is that as a child I used to cry in a closet at home, but now I can openly cry in my empty apartment (only my 2 cats listen).
Feel so stuck... don't want to live my whole life like this...

Loneliness.....it really hurts. I am alone a lot as well, and even when I look out my window at the people that live in my complex, I wonder how they gain the confidence to introduce themselves and begin friendships and relationships. I don't understand it myself. I also feel invisible because I am scared to introduce myself, but then again, nobody comes to me. I don't attract people like others do for some reason.

It really sucks being lonely, it hurts, I know. But don't give up, do what you can to be around people, even if they are not your friends. I know this sounds pathetic but I find myself walking down to the the library once a week because the librarians talk to me. Just being around some sort of human and talking helps. I think it's a stepping stone back into society.

Hi ouch,

I feel your pain. I feel the exact same way (well, except when I am "seen", its because of my disability)

People don't seem to see those right in front of them, which is sad.

Also I totally here you about your school experience. When there was group work or "finding a partner", the teacher would almost always have to forecefully place me somewhere, otherwise nobody would voluntarily allow me into their group.

****hugs**** and talk to us again. We see you

The first step you did was come here where we see you and like to get to know you. I feel the same way you do about invisible and lonely and like no one cares. I am invisible to my family and they seem like they do not care about me or my kids. I feel alone but I am with someone. NO one calls me NO one wants to hang out with me. I feel like no one sees me too. But maybe that is not true. Because we have friends on here who does and you have me too.
