How to make friends?
How do people make friends in their local area? People at work tend to steer clear from me, and nobody from school stayed in contact. Community stuff in my area is severely lacking and kind of terrifies me.. Any suggestions?

Leaving home advice?
Hiya, so I’m one of the lucky ones who managed to leave home. Even though I know I am much better off I’m feeling incredibly lonely in my hostel, the only time my phone makes a noise is when my parents text to remind me I’m ungrateful. I’m feeling unsure of my next step and don’t feel great. Anyone else made it out onto the other side have any advice for a 24 year old guy starting out on his own?

No offence but I don’t think this is the right place to look for that sort of help? Maybe try another reddit group? This is to support people who are dealing with narcissistic parents currently, and while it’s awesome that you’ve made it out by posting here it could get in the way of people who actually need support right now.
clutteredcaptain
I apologise I did not think about that. Do you know of any groups that might be helpful?
reesepiece
No.

Get a job?
clutteredcaptain
I have a job, thankfully.
ohmightytalos
Yippie!
clutteredcaptain
I’m not sure what to do in other aspects of my life though unfortunately. I can’t seem to make friends or anything and I’m feeling pretty lonely. I know I’m lucky to have a job but that’s literally all I have.

Searching for friends?
Posted on here previously while feeling lonely.. Wondered if any other lonely souls here would like to talk? I’m not doing too well tonight and some friendly conversation would be nice.

So alone..
I’m really not going too well tonight. I feel that if I disappeared right now nobody would even notice. I’m replaceable at work, and I literally have nothing else going on for me. My life is so inconsequential, I just don’t matter to anyone.I’m not asking to be the best person in the world, I just simply want to be wanted by at least someone. To feel like I’m worth something in someone else's eyes.
I don’t understand why I seem to be so unlikeable, I had trouble making friends at school and it just never stopped. Nobody wants to be friends with me. Simply put, I just don’t feel seen. I’m merely a ghost interweaved into everyone else’s existence but with no purpose at all. I fear I’ll be alone forever.

Looking for books to help cheer me up and feel less lonely
Hello. I’m looking for a read to help me cope with how lonely I am currently feeling. I’ve been struggling since I moved out into a hostel and I could really use some creature comforts. I’ve read quite a lot of books, and tend to lean into books with mystery and/or war themes; my special interests are the first and second world wars in particular so I tend to lean into books centred around that era. Currently however I’m looking for books that might offer a bit of comfort, so I’m open to other themes and genres too.

For loneliness I would recommend books revolving around found family, that’s what used to help me. A good starting point is The House in the Cerulean Sea, a wonderful read! It’s fantasy, but if you’re lonely I think you will definitely appreciate the characters in this book.
clutteredcaptain
Thank you!! I will look into it. I’ve never really read fantasy but there’s a first time for everything, haha.

I don’t have any exact suggestions but I thought perhaps non-fiction books on meditation or something might help? Something to calm the soul?
clutteredcaptain
I appreciate the suggestion, I’m not sure if I’m the right target audience for that sort of thing but I can see how that would help other people.
pastalover
@pizzalover well well well, we meet again!
pizzalover
@pastalover Oh god no. Not the pasta.

@pizzalover MWAHAHAHAHA

Nobody to help, feeling more lonely than ever.
As the title says I’m feeling so lonely.. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to discuss my mental health but I’m unsure if I am going to be able to attend because I have no-one to go with me. The thought of having to get the bus alone is daunting enough, so I’ve decided I’ll be walking there tomorrow. (It’s only a forty five minute walk according to maps, I just hope it won’t rain). I’m just feeling very anxious about the appointment itself, and I feel like I should just give it a miss. Logically I know that I need to go. It will enable me to get the help I need and it’s important that I go. Unfortunately I can’t predict how my mood will be tomorrow and I’m so worried about it. In the past I’ve missed appointments because I wasn’t feeling mentally ready to go, and I’m currently feeling like I’m in that headspace. I just wish I had someone to support me with this sort of thing, not to baby me of course but to simply a bit of support. When I try to search about being anxious surrounding medical appointments I’m just greeted with recommendations of taking friends and family, but it’s a bit hard when you have neither… asking how to make friends again I suppose (for a friend clearly lol..) but truthfully I’m not doing good. I’m sorry I know this is a vent post but at least by posting here I can pretend someone is listening..

Advice for starting Sertraline?
Hello. I’ve been to the doctor today and they’ve prescribed me a 50mg dosage of Sertraline to help with depression. I’m a bit anxious about it, what should I expect?

They work quickly but then the effect sort of wears off as your body gets used to it.
clutteredcaptain
