All the time that's why I live on DS because at least on here people get me.

I always feel alone and always feel like no one undestands me. I feel like I have no one to talk to, to just listend, I always feel like i am a bother when I do reach out to people because they have no idea how I feel.

Precious...I think that's what I want most. People to understand me. But when you haven't experienced it, you don't understand it.

Valdiviaa...I know exactly what you mean by wanting someone to listen. I really haven't reached out cuz I don't have anybody. It's like I built this big wall around me.

Freedom14g...I never had a sense of community. I lost both my parents. I am now living in a place where I really don't know anyone. And no one seems to care anyway. But it shouldn't matter what age you are and if you're gay or not.

All too often, most of all i think i just need one person that actually cares about me. Anyone who ever said they loved me , cared about me just wanted something from me, or just hurt me over and over.When you finally confront them on the matter they lose it and suddenly you're the worst person on earth, or you're overreacting. Its not easy being a good hearted person in a selfish world. I too have no family or friends , the saddest part is i live where i always have just down the road from family and friends i grew up with. Its very complicated but im a straightforward person and i HATE sweeping problems under the rug because i did it for years , it doesnt work. My family hates me for that. They all like to act like everythings dandy and ignore serious problems, esp from the past that NEED to be addressed. Its to the point i cant even look at them without feeling sick, cant look them in the eye when talking to them. I dont even visit for holidays or birthdays at all anymore, im 18. Ive been on my own since 15. All my family and friends became jealous and hateful when i started getting my life together and found a good guy. I was so hurt and confused that they couldnt be happy for me.recently its too much and my life is falling apart. Im just so alone and hurt with no support , no love from anyone. i understand you , if ever need to talk im here .

yes, you are not alone, there are many times i feel like isolated from others and that makes my world crumbled.
