Overcoming loneliness when you have no one to talk to?

[Holden Kemper]

I don't really have friends anymore. I used to. I was on great terms with my ex and we talked a lot about things, but we barely talk anymore. I barely see my friends anymore, and when I feel depressed, everyone seems to ignore me. I'm not a jerk to people, and I don't understand why they seem to hate me.

I've come to the conclusion I just wasn't meant to be around people. I wish I never discovered things like Facebook. It just increases my loneliness since people ignore me there too. How do I cope with solidarity? You know, being alone? I'm 18 and feel way too old for anything. I miss having people to talk to. Everyone seems to pass by in their lives while I sit and rot. My friends treat me like the plague. My best "friend" barely talks to me. I've been having suicidal thoughts recently, and it's hard not to anymore. Does anyone know what I could do to deal with being alone? I feel miserable all the time. I seem to shift between extreme happiness to misery within hours, and I don't understand why.
