Alone

[custodis]

I feel really fucking alone and am tired of doing so. I spend almost 90% of my time (free time at least, and since it's summer and I have no job...) doing absolutely nothing but sitting here by myself. My best friend and I aren't talking at the moment, which is really stressing me out, and I really just don't have anyone to go to and talk about it with, because I feel like they either A) Wouldn't listen. or B) Wouldn't be of any real help. So i'm left feeling bored, alone and useless. Which for me, is incredibly bad, because the more i'm alone, the more i'm likely to drink. And lets just say, for the past week and half, i've been drunk more than i've been sober. By a huge amount.

Why don't you call anyone?

I mean sure MAYBE they wouldn't be of any help, but I think it's worth a shot. What do you have to lose? If anything, when you talk to anyone about what's bothering you, it'll help you realize who your real friends are.

I tend to feel like drinking and smoking more when I spend a long time alone or something, but I tend to control it. You should try controlling yourself or distracting yourself with something.

But yeah try calling a friend or something, anyone you feel close to or something.

Good luck.

Best. Advice.

It feels like shit when you spend loads of time by yourself, and then you end up thinking things that aren't true: like, your friends don't care, like, they wouldn't listen, etc. Sometimes you've got to be active, rather than passive, as friendships are two way streets and you can't just expect your friends to come to you. Drinking a lot is only going to make things worse, but as soon as you get active, the temptation will lessen.

I have the same problem, except I don't have any friends that I could call or speak to. I spend most of my time playing games or sleeping. Try to find a game or activity that kills time well, i've been playing Fallout 3 and I can easily spend 6 hours playing that and have it seem like 10 minutes.

A lot of people play video games, that hobby kinda makes it easier for you to make friends, you can use it to make friends.

Might not be really easy to strike the conversation in the first place, but you need to risk it, in my opinion. It will REALLY help build your confidence.
