I have no friends, no money, no future, and no help.
Dr. Dork is here. ;)
You're being overly dramatic but I'm guessing you believe all that is true. I work at a halfway house and one of the things we do is help clients develop a support group (family, friends, coworkers, etc).
Wanna know what the easy/fastest way is to make a friend? It's not a bar or a church. It's volunteering. Volunteer somewhere where there will be other volunteers. You won't be coworkers, just two people with kind hearts and at least one thing in common (the place you volunteer).
Volunteering also helps you feel better about yourself because you are helping others even when you yourself feel you are the one needing help. We all need help sometimes.
Volunteering is also HUGE on a resume even if it's the only thing on that resume. If you don't have a job or can't find one then volunteer somewhere. You'll be busy, have a reference for a future job, feel better about yourself and life, and most of all...meet new people.
No joke. If you're hurting, find someone who is hurting more and help them.
Really, that is all you can say, is volunteer for something? What the hell should I volunteer for? I have no clue what to do.
Volunteer for Loaves & Fishes or at a soup kitchen. It's easy, it's only a couple hours once a week and you can volunteer weekly or monthly just let them know in advance when you are available.
Everyone should do something like this at least once. It will be a very humbling experience and it'll give you some perspective as to just how horrible your life isn't.
Any other options? (btw I have done volunteer work before as a kid)
