Does anyone have any way to cope with loneliness? Because I feel alone no matter what I do. I have friends but it feels like they don't think about me as much as I think about them. Or wouldn't give me a second thought. I am tired of feeling like this all the time and I was wondering if there are any ways to cope with this

I'm really sorry you feel like this. I know how hard it is when it seems like you care more than everyone else. That sort of loneliness is different. You're not alone, though; however many people feel like this at times, even when they are with friends. It doesn't mean you don't matter.

Something that has worked is discovering how to get connected with yourself again, such as journaling, making something, or even taking walks. Speaking with someone who listens also works, even if it's only one individual. And don't forget: just because a person doesn't show it all of the time doesn't mean they don't care. You mean more than you know.
