I am 28 years old and yet I feel so alone. Even surrounded by people I feel as if no one truly cares about me, I'm a last resort, a "sometimes friend", like if I ever were to vanish no one would notice or even care. I hate feeling this way and I've felt like this majority of my life. Typing it out helps to make it feel less shity I guess but man its a feeling that randomly washes over me.
I'm 62 (old right?) and feel the same way sometime and know how it feels. About the only people I have interactions with are family, and even most of them seem to only want me for what I can build or repair for them. All of my friends have drifted away from me, and I found that they were never true friends to begin with. I looked for an outlet like this site to express my feelings as well, in writing. It does help to get things off your chest, even when you are an introvert like myself. Just know that you are never alone, and that you are your own person, and that you, your thoughts, and feelings DO matter. Hang in there, you are important, and hope to read more from you feeling better about yourself. Don't let others dictate or write your future for you!
