    Hi Louise,

    I'm really sorry with what you're going through. It seems really tough feeling alone at college. It also sounds like you have been mistreated by some people who you considered to be your friend. Do you think that sounds fair? It's really hard when you feel like you are being used and treated that way. I wasn't quite clear when you say "looking for one person" if you are talking about a boyfriend or just a really good friend to be there for you. Have you ever thought about joining a club or picking up a new hobby so that you can make new friend at college? Joining something may help you getting yourself out there and meeting more people.

    Hi Louise,

    Sounds like you're going through a tough time at college, it's understandable that you want a good friend to rely on at this time in your life. I agree with Greg's point about finding a hobby; having something to break up your weeks at college could help you get through those final 9 weeks. If you're struggling to find a club to join near you, how about having a think about the kind of activities you enjoy? As it's coming up to Easter, there might be more holiday activities and weekend courses available at adult education centres or through your local council :chin:. Perhaps you could take a look on your local council's website to see what events are coming up.

    Hey Louise, I'm sorry that you're feeling alone at the moment. I think it's really good that you're thinking about new hobbies. In my opinion - try out lots of different things, and you should find something that you enjoy.

    When I read what you've written here, it makes me feel that you're expecting a lot out of new relationships. You say that you ask someone to promise that they won't leave you as soon as they get close. I'm afraid that no one can make that promise. We can say that we care about someone and would like to stay with them, but we never know what might happen in the future. It might feel like a lot of pressure for the other person to make that promise.

    It sounds like there are some things that you really need in your life, like for someone to be there to make things feel better? Sometimes when we have really strong needs, they can put big pressures on new relationships. The more you can find a way to fill some of those holes in other places, the more space you'll have to make and enjoy new friendships and romantic relationships.

    It sounds like there might be some things in your life that are really weighing you down, and you would like some ongoing support with. Maybe you could talk more on here, or in chat? You could also call SupportLine to have a talk through things.

    New relationships take time to build, they grow well with some care, but also with some space. Think of growing a plant - it needs you to water it, but it also needs a roomy pot and plenty of air so that it can grow for itself.

    A friend is a bit like a plant. At first it is fragile, but with time it becomes strong, durable and dependable. I think you overburden the young plant by saying things like "please don't hurt/leave me." It sounds like you want to develop a dependency on someone and this is simply no good basis for a friendship and just like in the other thread it is a form of surrendering your self-worth. You are putting all the money on one horse hoping it will win and it crushes you if it does not. I think you need a more relaxed approach to finding people you can bond with. Also in addition: Being friends with someone who is constantly miserable is VERY draining. If you are always super gloom and/or just moan about how shitty everything is and/or similar mood dampeners then people will be driven away. Friends are to share happy times with and they support you if you are down on your luck. If a friendship consists of trying to cheer up a miserable person you are more like a therapist and it becomes very draining very quick.

    Also don't mistake friendliness with friendship. There are many people - as you have experienced - that fake friendship and trustworthiness with friendliness, but their real motives are just a quick fuck and if you don't put out they lose interest and if you put out they probably lose interest too. This is neither a good approach for friendship nor for romance. Those are fake people and you need to realize the early warning signs when they get pushy that those are not going to be friends, no matter what.

    Truth be told, I think you exhibit a very exploitable weakness with the "please don't leave me, I need you to not hurt me."-shtick. People with bad intentions prey on things like that.

    Look for hobbies and find like-minded people. Maybe start to do some sports. It's not just good for your body but also for the mind. Working out is a great mood raiser. I think you are trying to force yourself out of your misery with shortcuts instead of actually doing things that are satisfactory to you and let the rest just fall in place by itself.

    Hey Louise95,

    I think it's a really good idea that you've taken on everyone's advice to look elsewhere to build friendships, friendships can be built anywhere, social clubs, parties, bars, even online. Just remember you are never alone in this world and I'm sure there's plenty of people who would love to be your friend :cool:
    Have you tried turning to family members at all, siblings or cousins that you may have close in age? Let us know :)
