I feel alone and I don't like the life I have

Hi, this is my second thread. I just have some other feelings I kind of wanna talk to someone about. (i'm 14)

I feel really alone. I don't have a best friend, but I don't have any other friends either. I hang out with this group but only because I've been with them since year seven and I don't want to look like a loner. There aren't really any people I can hang out with from my grade, I've definitely tried looking. It also feels like everyone thinks I'm a loser, people don't want to text me or talk to me at school. I'm part of two sport teams and I still can't find anyone. I know that friends will 'present themselves in time' and all these other things but I don't want to be alone for four years. I don't want to have to keep my feelings to myself all the time and never be invited anywhere.

I also went to England last year to visit my family and I miss it so much. My family can't really afford to go often but I feel like my family is missing me grow up and there are so many things and experiences and relationships I want to share with them. I can't go during two week breaks because we generally go for three weeks plus and I can't miss any school but my mum says that the six week holidays are too expensive and we won't like the weather. I tried to get there another way by going through a student exchange to just escape for a bit and experience something new and meet new people, but my mum shut that down. I've tried coming at this at every angle all my mum says is that I need to get over it and look at what I do have and stop being s negative but I don't know what there is to look at! I have no friends or social life, I personally hate Australia (no offence), and I'm going through some really hard feelings alone so I'm not sure what great things she's talking about. I don't want to do this life anymore, I hate it but there's nothing I can do about it. I also don't want to waste four years of my life, especially my teenage years. My parents say that if I'm going through something I should tell them or just someone except I don't have anyone to tell and they always ignore my feelings. I told my mum I wanted to move after high school and my mum said she would never forgive me if I did. I cry almost everyday because I want to go back so badly and she knows how much I miss it, and she's still saying this. I don't want to have to move away and never see her but I hate it here. I have no idea what to do or where to go.

Yeah well tbh I think if your not happy with your relationship with him you should say like hey I’m not okay with this. My weekend was pretty sucky hbu?

Yeah, for the most part I'm happy, I have my best friend back that's what I wanted. I thought everything else would follow through but it obviously hasn't not and I can't do much about that.

Half of me wants to just move on, it would be so much easier if I didn't love him, it wouldn't hurt me to see him with his gf. But the other half is holding onto the small sliver of hope that when I eventually get better then he might fall in love with me again...

My weekend was good... But I have to go to the orthodontist this morning rip me ☹️

x hope you have an ok day at school

Just remember that when you feel isolated at school, think of me Im feeling the same way now 😞

That sucks, but to be honest he being a jerk. I don’t think anyone can really think you would be okay with that.

Im really struggling right now. Being away from my family is really getting to me and I’m feeling more and more trapped I don’t know what to do. Each day just keeps going buy where I want it to end or change but I don’t know what to do about it. I just keep feeling worse and worse.

Aaaargggh Milly I don't know what to do

all my friends hate me

one of them said "don't say anything mean to his gf she's actually really nice"

Why would I do that?

Am I really that bad that I would attack a perfectly innocent girl who I don't know who is my best friends gf?

I'm struggling too

I can't handle group situations now

my friends have given up

Best friend gave up loving me

I want to give up too

i want out of this messed up world

That’s a really weird thing to say. Your not some crazy stalker ex gf. Do you have kind of like a backup best friend in your group? You could start by talking to them about your feeling, ect?

I don’t know what to do. I literally feel so like “trapped” and the thought of seeing my family again is so abstract I can’t even imagine it.

Its not not like I’m bullies but I dread going to school and being around these people. I’m always the backup friend for when someone can’t come too the party, or their other friends are in another class. It’s even happening on my AFL team. I was on the field for TEN minutes out of an hour long game. It seems like I’m just the sub for the star player so they can have a quick break and go back on five minutes later. The girls on that team are all SO close and no matter how hard I try I’m always the one looking for a partner. They just kinda ignore me.

Yeah it was a weird thing to say. Idk what prompted it.

its like you're invisible. Like you're kind of their plan B. I don't really know how to help, sorry.

Have you talked to your school counsellor? They might have some ideas.

x hope you feel better today

wishing you best of luck ❤️

Yeah you pretty much summed it up. It’s just a lot of it is all that England junk and my Mum asks me what’s wrong and I’m scared to tell her becaus I don’t think she’ll care or she’ll get mad. I don’t really want to go to the school counsellor. That might sound bad but I feel like I’m not like suicidal or like going through abuse or something, I just feel like it’s not really important enough or bad enough.

Hi Milly 🙂

Counsellors are actually there for family issues, friend issues, romantic relationship issues, bullying, coping with school pressures etc.

If you were suicidal or had a mental illness then you would be going to a psychologist like I am.

There is no problem too big or too small.

My advice to you is to go to them. They might surprise you, and you'll never know if you never try...

Hope you have a good weekend, its not that far away!

x Chlo
