I feel horrible because I need people to talk to, but it’s just one or two people who used to be people I could talk to but have drifted away from me.

I value individuals so much that it’s not just a matter of finding another random person

I hate the fact that I don’t have a person to talk during hard times. Just a 2 minute conversation can help me deal with things better

Also I feel like I’m the only person I know in real life who is needy like this, maybe everyone has someone or they don’t need anyone.

I feel like such an idiot and a weakling.

You can pm me and talk to me. You are not an idiot or a weakling. We all need to vent and to be heard. I vent all of the time on this website. So, you are not alone.

The need for human interaction is normal.

[MickeyCheeky]

You're not weak, you're just craving for human relationships which is a perfectly normal thing. I'm sorry you don't have anyone to talk to

Well I’ve tried. I care for them immensely and think about them all the time but they tend to just straight up ignore me sometimes

You are not an idiot or weakling. Wanting to talk to people you care about is normal. I know this feeling is really hard. I miss a lot of the people I used to talk to all the time now that I’ve moved.

I’ve always been the type who prefers chatting for a few mins by text but I feel like it’s too much to ask

[introspectiveme]

I’m not really looking for other people to make me happy. I can deal with my own problems despite how heavy depression is. I function normally now. I have a bit of an issue with my diet and addictions when depression is really bad and I feel completely uncared for.

What I don’t understand is people who have told me I have been there for them when it was tough. They told me they trust me. They don’t remember anything they’ve said. It hurts.

Thank you. I’ll use this site more often and reach out to you when I can

[introspectiveme]

Well I’m feeling better because of all the replies. I also texted my friend who seemed to be in a great mood, replied immediately and asked me how I was doing. It made me feel much better.

It’s not much to ask. I have been emailing the people I’ve missed talking to lately and they have replied. I didn’t want to talk to them as I felt like a burden to them and that I would just cause them stress, but I have realized that they just want me to be safe and they want to make sure they’re there for me.

I know you reached out to a friend and they responded so I’m happy for you.

I’m my own worst enemy sometimes. And my anxiety can get so bad that I may come off as needy. I need to be patient when I reach out to people

Hope you find the friends you deserve. I've made the mistake over my 65+ years of not staying in touch with friends. Now that severe depression has hit me again, I only have my long time girlfriend who tries to console me. Very difficult for her. It's smart to reach out to your friends and people on this forum. Not a sign of weakness, -------sign of strength. You want to feel better. Take care. I should read all posts---(I'm sorry, glad your friends are there for you!)

[Mogagirl18]

You are not an idiot. I think many people have this problem including me. I only have my mom who I can really talk to. Just remember that you are not alone.

I had a good day yesterday. Hope this keeps going.

I talk to my mom too. She’s mostly happy to listen but sometimes wishes for me to talk to her when I’m happy. Sometimes when I drink, I feel better and come off as positive and she asks me to do something to always be like that
