Feeling alone

Since I was kid my family moved around a lot and I have been moving
schools. I never stayed more than 4 years in one school. The only school that I
was happy When I was in year 10 I moved to Australia. Since my transfer to the
new school I didn't have any friends. I missed my old friends and I started up
making happy stories about my life to them. I started pretending to my parents
that I was making great friends and was happy. I had a friends but only hung
out with them during school hours. I though that if I make friends in high
school, it would be hard to leave them when I leave for uni. So I completed my
high school with pretended stories about my happy life. Then I started uni. Uni
was so overwhelming I lost control of my life. I use to get good marks in high
school. But I lost interest in studying. Suddenly my life was empty with
all the made up stories. So I moved to another course. But still I can’t make
any friends. I have friends that I hangout in class but no one close. I don’t know
how to make friends. And lately I am feeling hopeless and aimless. I don’t know
what to do. My family thinks I am happy because of the mask that I wear. I was
wondering if I ever will be to take off my mask

Hey mate,

I can understand what you're going through. Sometimes i have to wear a mask as well, to hide my ture feelings 😧

I find it hard to form a real connection with people sometimes, and it doesn't feel nice at all. Just wanted to let you know that it's ok and you're not alone 🙂 Sincerely, a friend

Hey Chocopops,

Glad you visited the forums and were able to let us know how you're feeling. Sorry you're having a tough time and feeling alone and hopeless.

If I understand your post correctly, moving around a lot has been painful for you and made it hard to maintain friendships. What was it about the moving around that hurt the most?

Paul
