Hi.
Why are you sad & lonely anyway?
Wishing is one thing.... believing is another... and doing something about it brings you closer to the realization of what you wish for and believe.
You may have a lot of friends, but it may not be enough to quell your sadness and loneliness.
I learned this recently, "poco a poco" meaning "little by little". Perhaps try going easy on yourself.... encourage yourself.... and love yourself over and over again each day.
I hope this helps.
ReplyFirst and foremost, Instagram is not a way to gauge "friends." Real friends aren't a post or a like, or a following on any social media. That's a fact. If you let these kinds of interactions dictate your notion of any kind of happiness then you will fail every time.
Also, it's normal to be sad and lonely at times. There simply is some need or want that you have that isn't being fulfilled. I suggest focusing on your personal well-being and not some external mode of validity. It takes time, and it can be a bit overwhelming but you can make that adjustment even if it's small. And good for you to write these things and share them.
ReplySocial media was designed around the idea that people who already have friends IRL can contact them more easily online, and facilitate more IRL hangouts. Nowadays, social media is designed around data-harvesting.
Instagram is actually a really useless platform for meeting people and having meaningful interactions with them.
Get an IRL hobby that involves other people (team sports, writing groups, language classes - anything you find fun!) You'll develop confidence and establish friendships in a way that you literally can't do online. It will also take you out of your own head for a few hours at a time.
It takes a little courage and persistence, but trust me, it's a much better strategy for getting you closer to the happy, sociable, confident person you want to be.
If you want to enjoy life, make sure you're actually experiencing real life, not some digital idea of it.
