I don’t know what to do anymore, I can’t make friends or relationships. Everyday it is becoming harder to go to work and the gym because I don’t know what I’m doing it for.

Im finding it hard to enjoy things anymore and struggle to leave the house.

I wish someone would just show me what to do to feel good again.

Hey Laz,

I feel completely the same as you, each day feels as if it's getting harder. However, the worst thing to do is to be isolated. I'm sure you are a kind and loving person who is able to share their interests with others. I want to help and I want to learn about you.

I’m pretty isolated. I don’t have any real friends and I’m an introvert. So I find it hard to get out

I know this may sound like a cliche but I am an introvert too but the way I helped myself become closer with other people was finding out if people have similar interests to me and attempt to create conversations based on those interests. another thing that really helped me was joining particular social groups where people once again have similar interests to me. like I joined a soccer team on the weekends and began to make better friendships. do you have any passions or interests in particular?

I like gym, video games, camping. I wish the friends that I had just wanted to hang out more and invited me to stuff though. I find it hard to connect with them because people don’t like my hobbies as much

Yeah my friend is the same. He doesn't get invited to things by his friends very often. for some reason he'd always blame himself which was always completely wrong. never believe it is you who is a problem, your friends are not a problem either but sometimes when people cant relate on a deep level about their interests it just is difficult to connect, however I think it'd be really beneficial of you to do some searching in other friendship groups and find people who like the gym, video games and camping. I'm sure there are many people who would like at least one of those things. even though it'd be a little scary you could send a message to someone and produce a conversation about that. but I seriously love camping though! I've been to Wilsons prom a few times to camp and it was amazing near the lake and doing some paddle boarding

I don’t know how to meet other people, at the moment I have zero contact with people outside of work.

That does sound nice, I haven’t been camping in ages, every time I try to set it up it never goes anywhere

depending what age you are I think there are many ways of meeting new people. you could talk to a different person at the gym maybe and see how it goes from there. you just need to take those baby steps

Is there a smaller step then that? That feels like an impossible task in my mind
