Many of us seek time alone to emotionally recharge, to reflect or to explore our creativity or hobby. Loneliness may be felt as a result of a lack of love in our life and can be as devastating as the feeling of grief after losing a loved one. Keep in mind that all friendships are important and not just those of a romantic nature. Pursue your interests and hobbies and join a social club or sports group, or other interest group such as bush-walking, bush-care, music, art, theatre, scrabble, Bridge. Involve yourself in some voluntary work – thinking about helping others can take the focus off self introversion and self obsessiveness and can help with self esteem.
All the best,
You are not depressed, just in a rough spot. Im going through a very similar thing and i find that actually talking to my family nd asking myfamily for help has made a positive impact on my situation. There are always other people out there who also just want a friend. Put yourself out there and turn your life around
