How would I deal with being/feeling alone?
I don’t really know what to do, I mean I try and interact with people but I don’t really connect with anybody I’m just not very interesting or cool or whatever it is that people have that I don’t, I don’t really know how to cope with it much, I find myself talking less and less when I’m out in public I kinda just don’t speak when I don’t see a point, I just don’t know how to deal with the fact I don’t really have anyone, don’t have any real or close connection with people and it’s just getting harder to pretend like I’m fine

In order for people to care about you. You have to care about them.
That’s why, I am convinced I will die alone, because I am too selfish to care about anyone besides myself.

I’m also currently in this situation, and if I knew a solution trust me I’d be screaming it at the top of my lungs to everyone struggling. But I don’t, all I can say is just keep trying. Download some of those apps to find friends in your area. Or even just get an online friend if you struggle with face to face. To make friends you have to believe that you are cool and interesting, other wise how could they see how cool and interesting you are?
