Sarah, I understand your feeling of loneliness and the constant need to feel wanted. I think what you have to do is truly look inside yourself and figure out what kind of people you want in your life. It seems as if your friends that have left you and the people that are on Facebook are part of the problem and it might be a good idea to remove yourself from this situation. Don’t bother to be friends with people that are just going to cause you more anxiety and depression. I have had some friends in my life that I had to let go of, as much as I didn’t want to, and it was the best decision of my life because I did not feel anxious about those people anymore and and I soon found more friends that don’t make me feel that way and now they are my best friends. When it comes to Facebook, I find it is only going to make your situation worse because you are probably comparing yourself to other peoples’ profiles and wanting their attention also. I gave up Facebook for a while and it was great because I found myself having true relationships with people instead of just checking up on other people and being sad that their lives looked much better than mine. I think it is a good idea to take a break from facebook and to focus on yourself and what kind of people you really need in your life in order to be happy. There are soulmates and friends out there for everyone, but it is all a matter of looking in the right places, so do things that you make you happy and you will find amazing people along the way that will accept you for who you are. 🙂
