Sad and kinda lonely

I've noticed that if I don't reach out to people, they don't reach out to me.. I haven't left home, except for work, for two weeks and I haven't called any of the people I usually talk to and they haven't tried to reach me or even see if i was okay.  It seems like everybody I love and care about is eventually pulled away from me or were just useing me.  After my breakup with my best friend/boyfriend I just don't have the need or energy to go anywhere.  I don't feel like putting on a fake smile and pretending to be happy when I'm not..

I know how you feel too. It happens to me. Those friends aren't your good friends. You deserve people that cares for you. During the summer, no one reached out to me either nor invited me to hang out. It does hurts a lot. I don't have family members here in US. Unfortunately they live in Cuba which the gov't system is bad. It makes it hard to reach out for them because they have hard time to get a visa to come visit US. Also, international call is so expensive for my Cuban family. Internet connection in Cuba is not good at all. So it does make things difficult to don't feel lonely for me.

It's hard at times, but I would rather be alone than with people that only use you as they need you. It's just a lot happening in my life and I feel like it's draining me, but kinda making me see things clearer at the same time..idk..

I hope you get a chance to talk to your family soon and they get the Visa to visit you. How long have you been in the US?

My family lives near and we don't communicate at all and that is sad..

I was born here in US not in Cuba. I've met my family but few times only. My parents wanted for me to have better life here in this country. I do hope so too with my family can get the visa to come to visit. Sorry about your relationship with your family. Well what can I do is just give hugs and comfort to others too.
