    Lonely, noone at home to talk to and no friends. Second guessing my life and just unsure on what i want to do. Trouble with getting my deposit back and having no money. I think ill go for a walk tomorrow, im just a bit sick of myself atm.
    I'll guess that you have finished uni? If so it is quite a bummer of a time, but there'll always be people to talk to in your exact situation. I doubt you are the only 21 year old in Britain!

    Try doing something constructive everyday; talk to someone you haven't seen in a while, try making a new friend (over the internet is easiest!) etc.

    Mmm, those crinkly cookies look awesome !

    And OP, I think everyone has spells of loneliness but it's probably only temporary. Do something that'll keep your mind occupied, like doing something active or text a few people in hope for a quick reply. I find sitting about or trying to focus on a film/book isn't good in these situations.
    Made them earlier - they're ridiculously delicious. Crunch on the outside, soft on the inside.

    OP tell me you made them as well .

    Find God through yourself... Do not look to religion. We all have to die one day.
    I'm not really religous, but the fact you replied means a lot

    Big hugs OP :console: :hugs:
    Thankyou x :hugs:

    I think we all have these moments. Know that you have a friend in me.
    This is so sweet. I can't tell you how much it means. I know its weird but when you don't really have any but it means a lot to know someone does bother :hugs

    I know, im trying to keep busy, but it makes me feel quite lathargic and just low and not wanting to be active. But i've been doing bits and pieces today and its helped.

    I would just let it all out and cry, then get some fresh air in the morning and listen to some music.
    I think i might have a cry tonight and see what happens. Hopefully i wont breakdown too much.

    beating the meat always puts a smile on my face
    Haha, possibly later or in the morning.

    The loneliness that you feel, I think it's more common than we realise. I'm 21 too and have these moments too, they really really suck, but I guess they're part of life. Just that feeling of being stuck and not knowing how to get out of it and get somewhere...yeah. Keep your head up OP, know that you're actually not alone, a lot more people feel this way than you think. Just gotta keep pushing on with trying to get it all to come together
    thankyou for your support. It means a lot. I know i'm not the only one, and its nice to know im not the only one and that i can get on and get over feeling alone.

    (Original post by somethingbeautiful)
    Things will get better - sometimes a good cry is rather cathartic - just let it all out and you might feel better for it. Then put on your favourite film and eat sweets! But that's not a good idea if your favourite film is sad - watch a nice one.

    If it helps - lots of people in their 20s (and beyond) feel like you do. Most of us don't have much money and haven't got a clue what were doing with our lives. But it helps to try to live in the moment rather than worrying about the future so much - take care of yourself. You can always talk to us lot on here.

    In the meantime, this might make you smile:

    Haha it did, thankyou. I know, i think im someone who looks to the future too much and worry a bit too much. I just see people either making money or having a great time socially and i'm doing neither.

    Do something insuperably habitual yet wearying. It always helps me. I'm vehemently cynical and it always guides me through the chasms of my own forlorn self.
    Ill give it a go

    Nope, just finished 2nd year. I talk to people online a lot but none of them really work out as friends or just fizzle out.

    No problem buddy, chin up.
    Also do not associate God with religion.

    I am 21 too, and life for me sucks. I don't anything to do during the day. I feel like I wasted my youth.

    Your youth lasts for as long as you want it to.

    This song video always cheers me up.

    If you feel lonely, isolated, go for a walk to somewhere you have memories, you never know, might meet some gorgeous person, or at least clear your head :-)
    what the frick did i just watch?

    Cheer up, OP. It could be worse, you could be scouse, you could have rats in your council house.

    If you feel like crying then just get it all out rather then supressing it inside and you will feel great
