Question

ok. i hang out with my friends every day practically and im always talking to them but i feel so distant... i feel so far away from everyone. i feel sad but i always spend time with them!!! i'm also sad but i really am not sure why. i have no clue what to do but i've just always felt distant from everyone.. even from God.. i can fake being happy really easily. no one notices but me. idk if its guilt or not forgiving but either way that doesn't seem like it would help forgiving or asking for forgiveness. people have hurt me i have hurt them and i'm not close enough to God. Why is this and What should i do??

nothing specific has happened i just feel sad sometimes idk

Answer 1

It sounds like you are depressed. You may want to talk to a doctor and therapist. You may also want to talk to a church leader for guidance and counseling.

Answer 2

I truly identify myself with you in this matter. I found out that forgiveness is a very powerful tool, to feel forgiven or even to forgive someone that has hurt you so bad is a big step in to your spiritual journey. We are called as humans to recognize one another's faults and sometimes we only see that part, but there is much more to a person than their flaws and until you start looking at yourself in a different light it will be a hell of a fight to keep pretending. Take it from someone who is Manic Depressive and has had this decease for 10 years. It is not always easy to be the bigger person and forgive, but once you experience the uplifting and wonderful feeling of actually clearing your soul of hurt and bad memories I guarantee you will start feeling happiness within you. A clean pot makes delicious tea but a dirty one can ruin your stomach, the same way it is with your heart. Just keep in mind that it starts inside out, you must forgive yourself first and realize that as a human you are bound to make mistakes, once you do this you will feel a change take place and everything will fall in to place. You will feel a connection with everyone around you and also your relationship with God will improve. I hope that this helps you in your journey, may peace and love be your guides.

Just going over the information from some of your previous questions I see you are 17 years old and are going through some things with your girl friend and most likely you are having other issues that 17 year old go through. We all have our ups and downs in life. You are most likely going through a phase of finding your self. The question of who am I and where do I fit in among everything else. These are common feelings and you just have to get your direction in life. You can start by going to your school guidance counselor for some advice. If you think you are missing out on something spiritually, then I suggest you speak to a preacher, priest, etc. What you feel comfortable with in the religiously. Well, I hope this gets you going in the right direction. Oh, and if you are able to go to college, then do it and study hard. It is a decision that could help you the rest of your life. Best of luck

Answer 4

there are lots of possiblities here. it could be depression, see a counselor, especially if you are having suicidal thoughts. you mention God a couple of times so maybe you need to seek spiritual guidance, I find it in the Bible, you could trying speaking to a spiritual leader. maybe it's a trust issue, you mention that you have been hurt, so maybe you don't feel close to anyone because you won't open yourself up to them because of fear of getting hurt again. you have to decide which is worse, feeling sad and empty or risking getting hurt again. choose your friends more carefully and hopefully the risk of getting hurt will be lessened. don't rush into relationships, especially physical ones. and stop faking, be real. if you are sad then you are sad. don't try to fake being happy. you will find out who really cares if you let your real self come through. most of all find a goal in life. volunteer, choose a career, try to make a difference. if you focus on something besides yourself, like helping others, you will feel better, and that is from my own experience, since I've felt the way you are talking about too.

Answer 5

Your first relationship is with yourself, and with God. Develop that. Learn to love yourself. Find a church, any church, and go. It's a start. You'll meet people who feel the same way. That sadness you feel is your heart telling you that there is something more in life. It's not far from you, it's right inside of you. Spend time in nature, pray, meditate. And talk with your friends about how you feel. It's good to share feelings and emotions. You'd be surprised at how many people go through the same thing. We're all in this together.

Answer 6

I think everyone goes through some sorts of this phase in their lives. It's just some people...people like us, that have a harder time handeling it. Never can one person completely empathize with anyones feelings. We all handle things differently. Right now i am at the same state in my life with my friends and views on everything spritually. But honestly, as stressed as it makes me... I remind myself how i've gotten through these rough spots before. Know that you choose ur path. U choose if u want to be happy, or if u want to be upset and wear yourself out over things. You're the only one who can make you happy. I recently broke up with my ex in a rather brutal(cheating way), our friends were mutual and dividing the line between us became a really harsh thing for our friends to go through, let alone ourselves. It always seems like i have god rooting for the other side when it comes to me. I can't even began to list my problems... some examples are that i lost my brother, a best friend, horrible at school, got robbed of 1500 dollars last week, parental disapproval... Everything basically! haha. The number one advice i can give you hun, is to never change who you are. Your personality is the gift that god has created and that is the personal hot-line connection that ya'll have with each other. Here lately I've been majorly depressed because i feel like i am no longer my old self anymore. Just make sure you are doing what makes you happy ok? and sometimes it's alright to be depressed. Everyone has their off-days, weekends, weeks. EvErYoNe! Just know that you're going to get through it and dont give up on yourself and out-cast yourself out of the crowd or your spirtual comforts. We only have one life to live.
:O)

Answer 7

each and every physique has their own tactics of liberating anger, whether it somewhat is the undeniable fact that some human beings decrease themselves, human beings would beat the living crap out of their siblings, whilst some scream and cry into their pillows for hours. Whichever the state of affairs may well be each and every person has their own way of liberating this anger, i don't comprehend of all and sundry who bites themselves, yet tactics perhaps you will desire to do something in yet differently try basically laying on your mattress and gazing your fan and picture. I oftentimes positioned a sprint bit blue faucet on between the fan blades and stare at it and shop on with it, i'm hoping I helped extremely. sturdy luck =p

Answer 8

Don't lose hope or your faith in God. Pray and keep praying. Be specific in your prayers. Ask God to help you get closer to him. Ask that he take your sadness away.

You been given this amazing gift of life. Enjoy it to the fullest. I think you're on the right track with trying to figure out what the problem is. Don't stop until you figure it out. You owe it to yourself.
