I'm eighteen, feel completely alone and I don't have any friends. Help me?

I'm not sure I can offer any advice, but I can tell you you're not alone. I've been through a lot of the same things as you have. My mother and I lived on a farm until I was 14 and she sent me away to a home. I bounced around a bit after that and felt so alone and like my life had no direction. I was depressed and lonely most of the time. Then something amazing and completely unexpected happened...I met the love of my life, now my fiance, and things have just gotten better ever since. I guess what I'm saying is, don't give up hope, put yourself out there. Maybe take some classes, or find a job (if you don't already have one) and take a chance. Try to make some friends,even if you have to be completely obvious about it I understand trust issies,but you have to stick your neck out and get hurt sometimes to find out who really cares. I hope this has helped.
