Is there a point in trying?

[Fvantom]

For a while I moped around hoping Id find some close friends, but I never did anything about it, after a while, I figured I had nothing to lose so over the last few days Ive been trying to talk to a lot of people trying to either reconnect or trying to get to know them, ever single one completely ignored me, whats the point in trying to make things better if it fails every time?

Remember, is it physically possible for you to make things better? Unless you have been diagnosed with a handicap, yes it is.

Are there things you cannot do, yet? Yes. However, are there small steps you can take, beginnings you can make? Yes. And it doesn't take much creativity to see thousands of them. So, you should get going.

Now, this is a tough wake-up call, the good part is that you can be as long and careful about it as you want. You can do it all without leaving your comfort zone if you need to.

Go at it, but go comfortably.

True friends are incredibly hard to find. Take it from someone who's had several extremely close friends. Don't get down on yourself it you don't connect with people in most every day situations. To quote my dad, "half the people out there don't have a clue" lol. Here's right except for one part. It's more like MOST people don't have a clue.

Learn to like yourself. Hell, learn to LOVE yourself. Not that facebook "hey look at me" kind of love either. Just learn to really appreciate that person looking back at you in the mirror. When you love yourself your not looking for validation in others. Perhaps then you'll start making connections with other people because you'll already be happy on your own.

And if you're not happy on your own you need to find some hobbies : )

I definitely love parts of myself, but to love myself as a whole is not easy with everything up against me, between the majority of people I talk to completely ignoring me and the people that call thenselves my family jumping down my throat at every little mistake I make, thats not to say Im not fighting it, but I cant exactly say its easy

Sometimes people mistake love for like. Just because you love yourself/someone doesn't mean you like them. The thing, I think, is to accept the elements of yourself that you don't like. Of course that's easier said than done. A LOT easier said than done.

Good luck *hugs*

i agree with every single word of this (especially the facebook reference ). it should be compulsory for every new member to read this post
