Feel like a failure

[Jolene93]

All my relationships with people, my friends, my family, aren’t good at all. It’s nothing I have done, but unless I’d reach out to people I never hear from anyone. No one wants to do anything with me for my birthday. I’ve lost friends in the past year which I’m still mentally struggling with, I don’t have good colleague relationships at work. I’m just really at a loss of everything and mentally struggling my son and I don’t have the relationship I always wanted to give him because of how I feel. I don’t want to be here anymore I just feel like such a failure at everything in life 🥺🥺

Hi OP. I am very similar to you. I out it down to being and introvert. I engage well with people but i give off the vibe of wanting to be left alone. This suits me though. I hope you find a happy medium.

I think this is the same for lots of people op. I notice if I don’t reach out I hardly hear from anyone too. It seems to have increased since covid began, probably as people became more insular and not able to meet up. Lots of people are stressed and withdraw too. I withdrew from everyone when I was going through fertility issues. It’s not always about you, so try not to take it personally.
Maybe it’s time to make some new friends?
Do you go out or have any hobbies ?
When I had bad depression, I used to force myself to go out and do things, it really helped although hard to do. Have you spoken to your GP in case you have depression? Big hugs

I think you need a chat with your GP.

Same. I moan that my life is empty but in reality I keep people at arms length, never let anyone support me and prefer my own company anyway!

Thank you I will talk to my GP
