Very confused, need advice/support ... sorry if I ramble

Feeling horribly low at the moment for no apparent reason, I get this a lot.

A couple of things been going on, nothing out of the ordinary - Dad left today after hardly chatting to me all of the four days he was here, he spends hours on the phone to his girlfriend but barely says a word to me ... I know he loves me really, he just doesn't show it well.

What bothers me more is seeing my friends all going out on dates, talking about guys they like ... I can tell a good looking guy when I see him but I've never wanted a relationship ... I don't like getting close to guys, I've never been interested in relationships with either guys or girls but being by yourself is so lonely ... I don't understand, does anyone else feel like this, never actually feeling attracted to anyone else? I feel like a freak ...

I just feel so alone, it's horrible.

I completely understand. I have never been really interested in dating, but I kinda feel lonely sometimes, only because I want to be like everyone else. I would just asses whether or not your happy no dating and become comfortable with not being with someone. For me, the only reason I would want to date is because, I feel like it something everyone does, if you feel the same way, then becoming comfortable with your own feelings is a good opition.

I was like that too. I never wanted a relationship. One just kind of fell in my lap by accident. Just wait hon. All you really need right now is a close friend. A relationship will come when you are ready and want it. Instead, is there someone you can hang out with? Maybe get closer to? Or even one of us online that you can talk to and become close to so you don't feel so alone. *hugs*

Sorry about your dad not paying you too much attention. That is tough to deal with. Have you tried talking to him about how it makes you feel and that next time you would like to hang out together more?
With having relationships can come stress and worry as well. So maybe look at it that way, you won't be getting hurt. Enjoy the single life of not being tied down. If you are feeling lonley, have you tried meeting new people? Perhaps by checking out different clubs at school, volunteering somewhere, etc when your friends go on dates.
