Lonely... Don't know what to do
 
i can't tell anyone i'm unhappy. they wouldn't understand. whenever i try to tell people, they seem to no longer care or only brush it off. and i understand that in a way. because i really don't deserve to be unhappy. i just am so unhappy and so lonely. i hate my fucked up, boring ass personality. i hate who i am. and i'm not making any friends in college. my old friends have moved on from me. i have no idea what to do.

i want to make myself more social, but no one seems interested or to care. i don't know what to do. i have so much unhappiness and sadness inside me, but no one wants that. so i'm trying so hard to be happy, but it's not working. what can i do? what can i do to change myself? can someone please help me? i feel like i'm falling apart.

If the family and friends around you aren't listening or understanding how unhappy you are, then take it a step further and seek professional help - because THEY will certainly take you seriously enough. See if your college has a counsellor, or make an appointment with your GP and talk it through. They may refer you to a counsellor or therapist. That might sound like a scary option right now, but it really does help just to talk things through with a professional and get it all out in the open.

You can't change who you are, but you can improve the things in your life. Why don't you check out if there are any classes/activities going on in your area or college? An even better idea is to volunteer! If you've got the time then use it to your advantage :) You definitely won't be boring if you're volunteering a couple of hours a week, helping another person or cause. Check out vinspire (google it because I'm not sure exactly of the website).

You can do this, just stop beating yourself up so much! I bet you're a lovely person, it just takes some self-esteem and confidence to find out how great you really are.
Good luck.
