I have nobody else to talk to.

[Russian_Red_Foxx]

I have been having a rough time lately because I have nobody to talk to. Here are my reasons:

1. I don't have any friends

2. While yes, I am getting counseling, I only feel comfortable talking about some of my smaller issues because the people I talk to work for the government. (no, what I wish I could talk about isn't morally wrong or illegal, but I still feel very uncomfortable)

3. My parents pretend to love me while favouring my sister as the golden child.

4. I don't feel comfortable talking on phone

Even though this is entirely anonymous, I still don't feel comfortable talking about my thoughts and feelings as they may be seen as pointless.

Hi. I read what you thought about your birthday celebration. Last year I had a similar view to you. Thing is was that I was turning 50. And someone in my family asked where to go out. At that time I said nowhere. On the sunday after that conversation I recalled that conversation with someone I trusted. While I can't recall the exact words but came away with the that it is ok to have a celebration. Why? Because you are worth celebrating! It is more than an excuse to get together. Presents are nice. Perhaps not required. The day is a celebration of you.
