I have just been having such a hard time with dealing with everything. I’m always depressed form how society tends to look at me. So let's give the run down on background information.
I’m of course a guy and with most people they think guy's should be tough and show no emotion. The greatest issue with that’s that I love to show emotion, just want to cry to let things out(which I do each day at home from this), give out hugs to everyone(which people shun me for), being nice(that's fed up), and not liking the usuall guy type thing so no standard type of deal with the anger or trying to act tough or doing those sorts of things.
Another is from my past I’ve always been alone generally and had no friends. I’ve been bullied and attempted suicide before which both still haunt me to today. These have made it hard for me to have faith in anyone and I never let anyone see more than a 1/4th of who I’m, not even my own family but this has been done to only 2 people. One who i let my self nearly totally opened up to now just rejects me and shuns me and another we have some personal issues with each other making any comforting hard to do, but some progress is made.
The last would be what you would consider my religious preferences. I grew up in a Christian family and I am the first Atheist to come out of the closet so far one side of my family now shuns me and the other is starting to slowly. Leaving me alone to keep my self up.
Also I have essentially no true friends every singe person I open up to just goes strait out and shuns me. I can count them on my fingers and still type.
Everything just seems so hopeless now and everything is so hard to do and the thoughts of suicide are coming back again. I need some outlet somehow in someway. Just something to help me or give me the courage, or just have that person there who will hold me as I cry.
From a 16 year old guy.
Answer:
Please consider this decision before you act.
Coming from a 16 year old girl that has gone through nearly exactly through what your describing i can relate.
Im not really close to anyone, its like im always interpreting things about, life, love, anything, differently than they’re.
Its hard i know. I really really know.
Maybe take up something, a sport, a hobby, you know a stress reliever. Its helped me so far.
Im sorry i cant be of more help. But if you need a friend, feel free to contact me at anytime.
I hope everything turns out well.
Answer:
First, and foremost, see a Physician and ask for an anti-depressant, and get some counseling. I was in a similar situation once, and although those things might sound useless, or scary, or just plain 'not you' - it really can help. Speaking to someone who is not personally involved will let you open up without fear of rejection. The medicines can and do help, even though you may need to try several, as it isn't an exact science. There will be a few side effects, but in the end is well worth it to have your life back. Don't give up. You don't need to change that you are an emotional person, you just need to learn how to function that way in a society that is a bit more standoffish. Good Luck to you!
Answer:
what you just wrote really makes me want to cry. i never show my true self to anyone either,for fear of being disliked. i always want someone to speak to, so i try speaking to god. i am not trying to convert you back, just saying. you can email me, and i'll listen to you and help to the best of my abilities. i won't judge you, or reject you or anything. i think you are a wonderful person who just needs a friend to speak to.
Answer:
I will tell you something and hope you do it, just try, I know, it might seem too strange for you, as an atheist, but you’ll loose nothing if you tried.
Try to go to the Islamic center in your town ( I don't know where you are from) and discuss with them your matter, or ask them to introduce you Islam.
