Loneliness and restlessness
I've become so lonely after facing some problems related to social life in family and relationships. Ive been so deeply traumatized after what all ive been through in my life since 4 years now and Im not able to find a good friend also. Im so lost and feeling depressed as I kept facing lot of issues constantly thats dimming my aura,memory power and even my spark. I used to be so positive and best version of myself before but after facing tough life incidents im not able to be as positive and the version im meant to become. Ive changed as if or molded by the new transformation of challenges that I dont like to have..Also one of my best friend is rejecting my commitment despite me loving him truly and waiting patiently for him to decide whether he loves me or not but hes so shy and reserved man who lies to me everytime and doesnt speak up clearly instead says he wants to become a saint. So now I also said ill be saint for he doesnt love me back. im so sad.

Sorry to hear that u r going thru a tough phase of life. It is indeed difficult to manage such phases without feeling depressed and low.
As regards your friend it clearly shows he’s not interested in u. Best is to leave him be until he shows some interest in u. If he doesn’t then this friendship wasn’t meant to be. Simple! Soon u will also get out of it.
Next Steps
Recognize that this is a tough phase and anyone is bound to be depressed
Health Tips
Let the friend be by himself and u search for someone else who will actually care for u.
U may be suffering from depression and hence understand that it is natural to feel the way u r feeling.
Get rid of toxic people by moving away from them even if u love them because u need to be away from toxicity.
Do things at ur own pace till u get back ur rhythm

This is a phase of life, common in people. First you make yourself comfortable with your own company. Think about your choices, preferences and then try to make friends. We don't remain in our best version always. For the person whom you love, communicate properly about your need and if he is not congruent with the same you can't force him. Rather, think that you will find the right one soon. Rejection is not the end, it's just respecting his needs.

The person is experiencing emotional exhaustion and reactive depression from loneliness, rejection, and unresolved trauma. Prolonged emotional stress has lowered self-esteem, memory, and positivity. To heal, start with self-compassion—acknowledge feelings instead of suppressing them. Engage in calming activities like journaling, mindfulness, or nature walks. Rebuild confidence by setting small goals and reconnecting with supportive people. Avoid clinging to one-sided relationships and focus on self-growth. Regular exercise, balanced sleep, and gratitude journaling help restore stability. If sadness or hopelessness persists, seek therapy or counselling, as professional support can guide emotional healing and rebuild motivation and inner peace.

Aww, sounds like you're goin' through a super tough time. Dealing with loneliness, trauma from family and relationship issues, and on top of that, a best friend who's rejecting your commitment... that's a lot on your plate.
It sounds like you've been tryin' to be patient with this friend, waitin' for him to figure out his feelings, but it's hurtin' you big time, esp cuz he's kinda dodgy with his words - sayin' he wants to be a saint.
Do you wanna talk more about how you're managin' these feelings or is there somethin' specific you'd like to do about this situation?

Hi,
It sounds like you’ve been through a lot emotionally, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling lost and drained after facing repeated hurt from both family and relationships. I think you are the same person who had asked a query related to parents earlier, and from what you’ve shared earlier about your parents being controlling and emotionally abusive, it seems much of your current loneliness and restlessness may also be rooted in that long-term emotional exhaustion. When someone grows up in an environment where their freedom and voice are suppressed, it can deeply affect their confidence, relationships, and ability to trust others later in life.
You’ve shown great awareness of your feelings and that’s an important strength. Right now, it would really help to work with a psychologist who can help you process the trauma and rebuild your emotional strength through therapy. Alongside who can help you work on daily structure, self-esteem, and social confidence. Gradually reconnecting with supportive people or community groups can also help you rediscover that sense of connection you’ve been missing.

Not receiving love back can feel very painful and often we start doubting ourselves. Try to keep a regular routine, waking, eating, exercising and sleeping. Distract your mind by engaging in your interest activities. Talk to a therapist.

It’s okay to feel lost right now—many of us go through phases where relationships don’t work out the way we hoped, or where friends pull away despite our love for them. That doesn’t make your love or commitment any less valuable

Hey
Kind of sounds like emotional burnout and trauma fatigue your mind and body are tired from being in pain for too long. That’s why your memory, positivity, and energy feel dimmed.
Right now, your focus should be on healing, not proving love or worth. When someone avoids clarity or commitment, it’s not a reflection of your value. Step back, give yourself emotional space, and rebuild self-trust through therapy, journaling, grounding, and small daily self-care rituals. You can reconnect with your old spark it’s still there, just buried under hurt. Healing takes time, but you will feel light again.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hi
Due to your circumstances, u have lost your confidence, and self belief. Loneliness and sadness are such emotions that a person feels when low on self belief. Seeking friendship n to trust with your emotions with someone seems difficult.
It will also affect your career growth which would make you feel more doubtful about yourself.
U need to get back to believing yourself and taking care of yourself.
Write down ur accomplishments and feel proud of them.
Take a break, wear nice clothes, go shopping, have a date with yourself
It’s your life, u drive it how you want to, don’t let the world take over ur life.

Feeling lonely and deeply affected after difficult experiences is understandable; it's normal to go through periods of sadness and self-doubt as you face social and relationship challenges, but remember, healing is possible with time, self-compassion, and support from trusted people or professionals—try to be kind to yourself and seek out opportunities to reconnect with others, as you deserve happiness and genuine connection.
