How can I get more people talking to me again?

Post Reply New Topic

I am really in the pit these days. I never thought I would lose so much contact with others. I know I am very negative but I didn’t think it would be to the point it would push people away from me. How can I get more people talking to me again? I don’t like feeling isolated whether it’s in the flesh or online. Both really suck.

Shared interests help a lot with keeping conversations flow.

I have a lot of interests even though depression is depriving me of joy from them.

Then why not talk about the interests?

Do you talk about them with the people who are teaching you martial arts?

I fear that even people who share my interests don’t want to talk to me about them.

I do but the conversations on them tend to fizzle out and it’s frustrating, especially when I try my best.

The best thing you can do here is to comment on other people's threads, especially in the "music" section. Just keep in mind to attack the "idea," but not the "person."

I'd talk about guitar or other music related stuff with you, if you'd like.

Part of the reason I've engaged less recently is that you've spent the last month saying you were leaving/wanting to leave/felt it was best for you if you left. If you're trying to leave causing you to become more invested seems like it's not helping you.
