Recently, i have been feeling a bit lonely and feel low, i think the main reason is that most of my friend has go on to future school after graduation, however i still need to stay in the current school as i srill waiting for the release of my result. And in this environment where usually i see my friend everyday and talk, now has become me going to class alone. I know this will only be a moment about 1 month time,but i still cant help but feel empty and isolated. Even though there are other people but i not a person who will actively go and talk with them when they are already in a group. I feel stuck in the past and also just wish that time will pass faster so that i can quickly go for my new school. I really dont know what to do.
Hi @user1657, I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It’s understandable to feel lonely and low when your routine and social circle have changed so drastically. Waiting for your results while your friends have moved on can make this period feel even more isolating. It’s important to acknowledge your feelings and give yourself permission to feel this way. It’s okay to miss your friends and the comfort of your usual routine.
To help you get through this time, you may wish to stay connected with your friends through messages, calls, or video chats. Engaging in activities you enjoy or have always wanted to try can also be a great way to distract yourself and maybe even meet new people with similar interests. Setting small goals, whether it’s a new hobby, a new book. or even a fitness goal, can give you a sense of accomplishment and purpose.
If you feel comfortable, you can share your feelings with a family member, teacher, or counsellor. Sometimes, just talking about what you’re going through can provide relief and new perspectives. Remember to practice self-care by getting enough rest, eating well, staying physically active, and doing things that make you happy.
This is a temporary phase, and soon you’ll be moving on to your new school and new experiences. You’re stronger than you think, and you will get through this. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here for you.

Hi @User1657,
It sounds like you’ve been feeling pretty low and lonely recently, and I just want to say that it’s completely understandable. You’ve gone from seeing your friends every day and sharing that connection to suddenly being in an environment that feels so different. It’s tough when things change so quickly, even when you know it’s only temporary. It can feel like the days drag on when you’re in a space that feels empty, especially when you’re waiting for something new to begin.
From what you’ve shared, it sounds like this loneliness is making you feel stuck in the past, and that makes sense. You’re holding onto the friendships and routines that brought you comfort, and now that they’re not there, the adjustment feels difficult. You mentioned that you’re not the kind of person who likes to approach groups, and that’s okay. Socialising doesn’t have to mean forcing yourself into situations that feel uncomfortable. Do you remember the last time you felt this kind of low? What helped you get through it back then?
For now, let’s just take a moment to acknowledge that it’s okay to feel this way. You don’t have to force yourself to “fix” the loneliness right away. Sometimes it’s helpful just to sit with those feelings and recognise that they’re part of the transition you’re going through.
If it feels manageable, maybe start with something small, like saying hello to someone in class or joining a group activity that interests you, even if it’s just observing at first. You might even consider reaching out to one of your old friends—sometimes a short chat with someone familiar can help remind you that those connections aren’t lost, just paused for now.
You’ve already shown a lot of strength by recognising how you’re feeling and reaching out to share it here. That kind of self-awareness is really important and will help you take the small steps you need to move forward. And don’t forget, you have something really exciting waiting for you—a fresh start at your new school. I know it’s hard to see right now, but this phase will pass, and there are good things ahead for you. Hang in there—you’ve got this.
