Who can I seek for guidance?!
Question: Who can I seek for guidance.?
This isn't meant to be a pity rant. I'm just feeling kind of lost right now. Next week I start Spring Semester at college and I'm not very excited. I know my education is very important and I'm devoted to the end. It's just I feel wretchedly lonely and I can't turn to anyone (not even my mom). I tried keeping in contact recently with an old friend from school but I think as nice as he was being he's moved on in life.
In the past I used to be full of cheer of all the things life can bring (I'm 24). Now I feel alone only seeking comfort in books, decorating, music, and shopping. I haven't felt the awakening I've always wanted to feel yet. It irks me that I'm so annoyingly shy to make friends. When I actually find someone who could be a potential friend they seem to ignore me or talk crap about me behind my back.
I'm genuinely a good person (don't smoke, not a heavy drinker, and I'm not sexually active). I feel as if I have to sell my soul and be like everyone else to feel apart of something. I just wish I could find someone or some people who I can connect with on an understanding level.

Answers:
First of all, sounds like you're going through a bout of depression right now. I think to really feel a zest for life we have to look deep within ourselves and say "what makes me special". I believe we compare ourselves to other people too much (which can make us feel either good or bad about ourselves) and we feel the need to conform to what the world says in order to be happy. Seems to me that you are totally focusing on all the negative stuff in your life right now and this is bringing you down. Try this: take a piece of paper and on one side of the page write down all the things you're thankful for (good health, your talents in decorating, etc. and then write down all the bad stuff that is making you unhappy. I think your positive stuff will far outweigh the negatives. Make a point of joining activities or volunteer groups where people have similar interests to meet new friends. Most of all don't sell yourself short and don't feel the need to conform to anyone else's standards to be accepted. Sounds like you can make a difference in this world just by being you! This phase in your life will pass and tomorrow will be a better day.Health Question & Answer
From my own experience i know that when i ask for removal of what is blocking me from progress or what i need to do to prepare myself for growth or a relationship then i am given whatever is necessary to bring it into my life.
Sometimes it seems that God is toying with me , especially if i don't get an answer when i think i ought to or when it's not the answer that i seek. The strange thing is that when i accept things as they are and remain open to possibility then i make it possible for God to work without my being in the way. Hang in there little sis, all will be well,and when you least expect it you will be fulfilled.Health Question & Answer
