I am 20. Life isn't going well at all. I feel sad all the time, don't even remember when I was last happy. I have no friends to talk to. I landed on this site after in a burst of frustration I typed what I was feeling then. I don't have any expectations at all from this site. I don't laugh much. I haven't even listened to any song in the last 2 months even though I couldn't live without music before. I don't feel alive at all. I know what I need, as I said clearly in the title, I need a friend. Probably for validation or listen to my stupid rambling. But a genuine friend. I don't have any other way to make friends now. And the walls in my mind feel to be closing in. I have stopped crying out of some stupid promise I made to myself which has now become a habit now, it's not healthy. I don't know why I do that. Maybe I don't want myself to feel weak. Last few years have taken away everything I had. I know I won't do anything crazy as of now but I really need friends. I probably won't be able to open up to anyone easily but I just need to talk. Someone I can count on picking my messages, calls. I am not in the mood to explain or write everything right now. Please help!
Empathy Only Lonely, Sad, really need someone to talk to, be friends with!

It can depend on what music you listen to. That is a minor problem i think, Do you work. Do you study. You can find friends anywhere. Its easy to find a friend, but before to search for a friend. Work on your well being and think more positive, because you sound cool and i would be your friend. Work on your well being and take care of your personal issues and the friends will come to you. I know whats it like to lose everything. Dont let it get you down but leave the past behind and move on, and prepare for success in the future because it will come.
Hello there and welcome to SF. We are a good community of people here who are fairly highly moderated so we don't let people troll or bully others which keeps people sticking around for long periods. If you look around you'll see that some people have been here for a decade or more - long after they are no longer depressed or suicidal. They stay because of the people, because of the friends they've made. I think if you're looking for connection then you'll find a place you can get support here.

I think we all go through times when we feel more closed off from people. At least you're reaching out and trying to make friends. As others have said, feel free to talk to people here. It's sometimes easier to talk about things in an online, anonymous setting. Hopefully it'll help and who knows - maybe you'll find yourself someone to talk to on a more permanent, regular basis.
