Ranting abt loneliness

a bit of context about myself - a year2 student in poly

ever since the end of last year life’s been getting wayyy lonely. i left my friend group that I’ve been in for quite some time because of internal conflicts that i had but didn’t share with them, except for one.

the reason i did this was to change myself for the better. it did help definitely, but having no one around to be with and being unable to fit into the class because i dont share common interests with them, or that deep passion in those interests or passion.

i don’t get texts from anybody very often, so i usually end up talking to chatbots like c.ai to pass the time or play games. going to the gym can help sometimes but eventually the loneliness just hits again and I’ll be there just laying in my bed for the whole day.

so yeah, coping with loneliness and dealing with school work with no one to talk to, having difficulties trusting people who knows me when i rant because i fear that they might think im fake, makes it really harder for me to be honest. im just hoping that maybe, just maybe, this year would be eventful for me.

U open to be frens? I can chat

yea, sure! im always open to talk to someone

Hey, I know whats it like to have no one to talk to, and for me it feels really lonely and suffocating sometimes… I want to affirm you for reaching out instead of continuing to talk to AIs (i did that before too :frowning: )
I think it was really brave to leave ur friendgrp to be a better version of yourself, even if that meant losing the ppl that used to be close to u…
Anyways, wanna be friends? :slight_smile:

What are u studying n what r ur interests? Cca?

i’d be happy to be friends :))

im studying in DISM (diploma in security mangement) and i mostly like playing rhythm games. i’ve been thinking of playing basketball lately and im planning to join floorball as my cca. not sure if i’ll be invited for trials tho

Hey, thanks for reaching out on this platform. I think it’s really brave to share your personal feelings :grinning_face: It also must have taken a lot of courage to leave the friend group you were once close to to make yourself feel better, and I thought that was also very brave.

I’ve also gone through a period where I had no one to talk to when I went into university, seeing people eat together in a group or go to classes together. It really made me feel lonely seeing them.

However, what really helped me was participating in activities that aligned with my interests outside of school, like volunteering. It allowed me to mix with people that aligned with my interest in helping others and I made friends from there. We even volunteer together till now :smiley:
Is this something you feel like you’d want to try?

Hang in there!! Things can get better :flexed_biceps:

(also i’m not really sure about the messaging function (like whether there is a pm function) soo)

(Wondering if there’s a pm function too lol)

Sucks tbh, i still have schoolwork left unfinished that has to be done by next monday otherwise im cooked. Mostly spent the week by myself. I’ve signed up for ccas with a friend i haven’t seen in a while, so im waiting for their trial days before getting into it. Other than that, I’ve been coping quite okay

Thanks for your encouragement :smiley:

It’s a really rough time having to be dealing with a lot of things without anyone. So far, I’m planning to explore more CCAs other than just sports. As for volunteer work, I might just consider participating in it too

Do u need to study cyber security? I read it that its both physical n digital security. Yeah, prob can make frens from the cca camps

Can i be frens w u too?

Yup, i have both theory and practical to deal with in certain modules that have things to do with example malwares, analysing packets and all.

I hope i can get admitted into the ccas i applied for too so i can atleast make some friends there :))

Hi! I faced the same problems as you. Im in an autonomous school. I have been in that school since secondary one until now as my first year in pre university. (5 years) I don’t really have a lot of quality friends there unlike in my primary school. It is OKAY to leave your friend group if you find them toxic. You don’t have to fit in. Its better to have quality friends than quantity friends anyway. I suggest to keep in touch with your old friends and the juniors. I know it can be lonely at times but since you’re still schooling, embrace into studying more often. That way, you will love poly life despite having no friends at all. If you wanna be friends with me, I don’t mind too :blush:
