I know what it's like to be depressed and friendless. I hate to go on about my own problems when you have some of your own, but I just felt like I should tell you. And it's fine if you don't care. So, when I was younger, I was social. I played at parks and playgrounds and stuff and met kids who I made friends with. And some people would move in next to me and mom sometimes (cruddy apartment), and I often made friends with their kids. Those kids were really my only lasting friends. Or so I thought. Eventually, they moved away. That happened multiple times. A family would move in, I'd make friends with their kids, and they'd eventually move away. So my only friends I really knew would always leave. And I became less social. More shy. I wanted to stay in the house even more than I did before over time. I never really met anyone, never really talked to anyone... and I got lonely. I had a big brother whom was taken away by CPS as a baby, therefore I never met him. My dad ran off with a girlfriend when I was a baby. I was left with only my mom. I became depressed and thought negatively. After all, I was unimportant and pretty much unloved. I eventually made my first friends in years when I came to this site's chat. I was pretty happy that I wasn't lonely anymore. But I was still depressed at times. One of the things that sucks about me is how little I can care about people. Someone died? Never heard of 'em, don't care. You have a problem? Not much of my concern. I'm trying to work on that and have actually learned to care more. I care about my friends, even though I often can't feel as much sympathy and pity as you'd expect. But sometimes I do care about someone's problems a lot. This is one of those times. I believe that I understand how you feel. I know it seems hard to do when you're depressed, but... try to keep your chin up and think positively. Just try to enjoy yourself. Happiness is the way to overcome sorrow, and I hope that you'll be able to be happy. Even if you're still depressed after trying to enjoy yourself, that doesn't mean you can't find some way to be happy. What makes you happy? Video games? Reading? Writing? Chatting? Whatever the things that make you happy may be, try to enjoy them to the fullest. I wish you luck and happiness.

This was my head for a little bit. I decided to change it to this for now.

Three words for you - I get it. And while reading this you are likely saying, no he obviously doesn't, otherwise he would be saying this. And, well I guess I'll just share my story and hopefully it will help you feel a bit better. So, when I got here, I was originally very shy, and had no idea how this place worked at all. Then I eventually opened up, and I realized that this was an amazing place. Not. The next week or so, I felt exactly the same you did, and if anyone reading this knew of my "break" it was becuase I felt exactly the same. I felt like while this place was another home for some, for others, like myself then, was more of a place that makes you feel left out. And, after the break I realized that yes, it was a place for some people. And yes, it wasn't probably the best place to help me with my problems, it shouldn't necessarily be a place to avoid. During this time I still dropped in and out, and spent time on my own, away from people here. I felt like anyone I had felt like was a friend up till then was a lie. I felt like no one cared. I felt like everyone hated me. Perhaps that is true. But if that was, why would anyone even look at my page and realize that I would leave for a bit. Why would anyone care to say even a short "goodbye"? Then I realized that maybe they do care as much as people could care over the internet. And while you may never get as close to them as people in real life, that doesn't mean they don't care. And, finally, I just wanna say that if this doesn't convince you, maybe time on your own will. Maybe not. But either way I hope you do come back and make your self comfortable with this community. And if not, then I hope that you feel better anyways. Hope you feel better.
