I feel alone or not seen
I feel alone or not seen
Sometimes you feel that no one really notices or understands you. You are there, but you still feel alone. This can be at home, at school or in your free time. Many young people feel this way at times. It's okay to feel that way, but you can also do something about it.
What can you do?
What can you do?
Talk about it
Talking relieves. Maybe you know someone you trust, such as a friend, family member or someone from school. You don't have to know exactly what you're feeling. Just telling them often helps.
Participate in an activity
Meeting new people can be exciting. But you can start small. Maybe there is a sports club, workshop or group you can join. You don't have to become friends right away. It's already nice to see other people and do something together.
