I always feel as though when I talk to people I bore them or like burden them.. I feel as though everyone wishes I wouldnt be here or something.. I mean nobody really cares about me! Sometimes I feel really like i dont even speak the same language or something.. My life isnt going anywhere! I feel as though i am always doing things wrong and whats the point of even trying.. All the hope and wishes (i dont believe in anymore). there isnt any point.. I might be depressed I dont know but.. I cant seem to get this feeling to leave me.. How can I feel better? Is there any solution or anything?
mylordwon answered Monday July 11 2005, 11:14 am: Oh...I know how that feels. Your seeking an answer to fill an emptiness that just won't get filled no matter how hard you try. Let me tell you what's NOT the answer. The answer is NOT sucide, NOT self esteam, NOT meeting more people, NOT therapy, NOT drugs, NOT getting a pet. These things are like bandaids on a gushing severed limb....in otherwords, the are of no help. I am going to give you the answer and I urge you to step out and push through or you will be in this whirlpool until it sucks you down completely.
You want your life to go somewhere, you want victory over these feeling and thoughts, then turn to Jesus Christ. Jesus is the answer. You may be asking how I know that....well....I was right where you are, but I'm not anymore. I wanted PEOPLE to fill the emptiness. The more I desired to be filled the more I sought people. The more I sought people, the more discouraged I got. The more discouraged I got the more I felt people didn't want me around. I was looking to fill an emptiness that only Jesus can. I don't know how much you know about the Bible, if anything, but I encourage you to get a Bible and start reading in the book of John. You will learn and see the awesome love God has for you. The first step will be hard, but once you make the decision and read it, the words will become food to your spirit and you will feel the nourisment in your soul.

The best thing to do would probably be just to keep in mind that people really DO care about you(even if it may not always seem that way). There will always be at least one person who cares about you and loves you unconditionally. Always. [ XKill_The_PainX's advice column | Ask XKill_The_PainX A Question ]
pink_paperheart answered Monday June 27 2005, 2:41 am: I understand how you feel, because I sometimes feel the same way.
I'm sure you're looking into things a little too much, and you being a burden or boring people is maybe not the case. Maybe people are intriqued by you, and maybe you leave them speechless by what you say. And don't give up on your hopes and dreams, you should always stick with them. If you want something bad enough, it's obtainable and never out of reach. [ pink_paperheart's advice column | Ask pink_paperheart A Question ]

bunsal0t answered Sunday June 26 2005, 5:55 pm: I know exactly what you're going through. Just a few months ago I had a bad case of depression and every day it hurt just to get up. I looked around me and I saw that I was not only cutting myself off from other people by being depressed, but the few friends I had were just digging me deeper into a hole! My environment was always dark, my bedroom never had light and I was always listening to really terribly depressing music.
Maybe it would help you if you would find a club of some sort where people enjoy the same things as you, take art classes perhaps, find your forte! You might just have friends that aren't interested in the same things you are. Listen to something uplifting maybe, old jazz or big band music. Maybe you would like the artist 'Andrew Bird'. He has very uplifting, happy music to bring you out of your depressed state. If worse comes to worse, there are always anti-depressants and medication you can take, but these can be harmful.
mushoku answered Sunday June 26 2005, 5:28 pm: Yes and no. See my colum for advice on self-esteem. That may help you.
Also, try to prusue conversation of substance. It may be that you tend to talk about things that are trivial, or even that you're hanging with people who don't like talking about the things you like talking about.

Michele answered Sunday June 26 2005, 5:15 pm: Well, we really don't have enough information to help a lot, but I will try. You could have a chemical imbalance that is causing these feelings, you do seem to be mildly depressed. BUt doing to the doctor, he could put you on pills that have horrible side effects. There are herbal remedies that have no side effects, that I have seen work for people. Noni Juice is one, St. John's Wort is another and L-Theanine is another. You could try any of them, or a combination because they have NO side effects, you can get them at a health food store, Not the supermarket or drug store. I also think that you may be hanging around with the wrong people. You need to hang around with people who help you to feel better about yourself, and right now, that may be some adults, and not kids your own age, who are struggling with their own identity problems and can't help you. If you could find some volunteer work to do, you will be working with adults, and they will appreciate your help so much and sing your praises, it won't be long before you believe it. What will also happen is that you will find out that by doing such a good job volunteering, that you do have skills, and talents and you do have worth. You are NEEDED, you just haven't found the people who need you. Decide if you prefer to work with kids or seniors, and find a place to do that. If you prefer kids, then is there YMCA in your town/city. They have day care, and they need volunteers. If you prefer senior, then how about a nursing home or hospital. Or maybe you prefer animals. How about the humane society or the animal pound in your town/city. That may be fun to help feed the animals and help them get exercise. There is sooooo much to do out there, and you are needed if you have an inclination to help.
I hope you follow through on this advice, I know it sounds kind of dorky, or corny, or whatever, but I KNOW it WORKS.

cardboard answered Sunday June 26 2005, 5:02 pm: yep, ive felt this way asell, you dont say whether you have many friends or not, so im assuming you have a couple.
being detached from everyone is usually a sign of depression, but before you go to the docs for a lifetime of anti depressants, try figure out why.
you got a job, college, school going well?
you need to talk to your closest friends or your family and try to socialise yourself more, trust me, i know its hard i been bad where i couldnt leave the house cos i thought i was so ugly, but if ya dont do it now you never will.
also, its jus a part of gettin older, when your five, you dream of gettin maybe gettin a ten for your birthday, then you get older and realise that kinda money wouldnt even get you a taxi to the end of the road.
personally i reckon you need to reassess everything you think you need, get rid of everything that gives you bad memories, or what doesnt apply to you anymore, and start again.
