Sad/depressed, no social life

[anonymous001]

Hello

This is my first post, not sure if my circumstances count as a legitimate issue but their here anyway.

Lately, I've been feeling really bad, around like 2 or 3 times a week when at home I just feel pretty bad, I'm not at stranger feeling this way but I use to only feel this way like once every 6 months to one year.

I see my friends going out a lot to town every week, most of them live together or are constantly hanging out together and I'm just sat at home not doing anything or working, but always by myself, not getting invited or anything but they still contact me on snapchat and stuff but I doubt that really constitutes as being social, sometimes I see them but I have nothing to talk about with them unless we're drinking then its just dumb.

I go to uni by just sit by myself, I think its because the uni I go to is kind of far from where I went to school and so I don't really know anyone, but its still pretty sad just sitting alone all day, tried to make some friends but didn't really work out, and its not like I'm weird or anything because they still greet me a chant a bit but there's no friendship really.

Don't really have much of a relationship with my family, if I did I probably wouldn't be on here, its nothing like domestically violent or anything its more just I don't relate or feel comfortable with them or talking to them.

just kind of struggling to make friends and I think I'm feeling depressed or just sad, not really sure.

another issue is that I see everyone getting into relationships and stuff, I'm over 18 and never been in one, never had a sexual or any type of experience with the opposite gender, I think I'm not repulsive so it's got to be a personality thing I don't know, like I feel pretty normal personality wise, I'm not ecstatic or confident or anything but yeah i don't know.

Basically just always now feeling lonely, nervous, sad/depressed(only a couple times a week, not always)

Point of this was to just get some answers from people on here, sorry for the crap structure, if I was feeling better it may have looked nicer, still, if anyone has advice or answer, or something to add that would be cool

Hi anonymous,

Every single one of us are different in the way we think, behave, act and how we project ourselves.

We all consider people to be how we see them which may not be reality for the person we are thinking of.

To be called "reserved" to me may mean being quite, thoughtful, a deep thinker, maybe a little cautious and maybe self conscious. None of these things are bad things at all, it is just this person has made an observation and this is what they think.

We can have many different ways of interacting with different people.

It sounds like you are trying to be aware of who you are and how you want to be, so that is important.

A person who talks a lot may seem very friendly to some people but may be annoying to others. We all see people differently. That is okay.

Hope this helps a little, cheers from Dools
