I have always felt lonely even before I met my bf, I didn't have many friends and I usually got bored and tried to talk to strangers online or just try to entertain myself with movies or TV or YouTube, but after my bf broke up with me the loneliness hit me like no other. This once, I have a comparison as to how happy and unlonesome I can be. Especially on Sundays, I don't know why, but I miss him a lot. A whole lot.

Any advice?

I would say that you should allow yourself to feel these emotions of sadness, as these emotions are normal. But eventually, you're going to want to be productive as you move past this. Also remember that you have had lower points in your life.

You're never alone as God is there. Sometimes it helps to talk to people. You're familiar with 4 languages (English, Mandarin, Korean, and Indonesian), you have a bright future!

Thank you. I'm really trying. Might not seem like it as I might discuss him or the issues a lot but I really am trying. Thanks for talking to me too! Hahahha :)

As someone who has struggled with the sense of loneliness, depression, and often comparing herself to others, there is really one answer I have for you that really turned everything around for me in an instant, and that's the Lord. It is natural for you to feel sad and lonely; heck, it is perfectly normal for someone to compare themselves to other people. I am bad about it. But you say you were feeling all that even before you met your boyfriend? There is only one person who can truly turn your sadness into happiness, and your loneliness into satisfaction, and that's God. We all seek two things: fulfillment and love; at least for me, there was a time I sought it fervently and from the wrong people. A man can give you temporarily joy and love -- hope, even, but it is God who can continuously give all those things to you, and much more. My advice is to pray or to open the Bible and just read. Simply read and pray, and don't stop. You'll be surprised by how much changes.
