Belongs to: Therapist has a Lonely Day by System of Down
@heartsupport Hello from Brazil. Being an orphan, without a family, with just a few great friends, it’s almost impossible not to feel alone, but over time I ended up getting used to my oldest and always present friend, loneliness. For me, the worst thing about this is that my life has no meaning, I feel as if it doesn’t make the slightest difference whether I’m alive or dead.

Hello! Thank you so much for reaching out and having the courage to do so. You are heard. I recognize your pain and these feelings that you are experiencing.
In this life, it feels as if the worst pain that we can experience is loneliness. Being alone can leave us feeling hopeless, hurt, and empty. We can often find ourselves questioning our worth, or where we fit in. There was one thing you said that stuck out to me though, “A few great friends.” Going through high school, I was in constant search to have as many friends as possible. I thought this would make me more popular and be loved by more since I had more “friends”. I came to realize after many years what the term “quality over quantity” truly meant, I had a large number of not-so-great friends. I narrowed that number down to just 2 people and found who my real friends were. These 2 friends made me feel loved, accepted, and they gave me a sense of purpose. These were friends of quality.
Hold those friends and loved ones closest to you, they truly do care for you. You do not carry this weight alone my friend. Your purpose here is so significant, and you truly do matter. Keep fighting the good fight and keep your head above these waves. You are so strong
