Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I feel that I cannot make friends. My friends keep themselves away from me. They get bored of me and avoiding me. I feel lonely and depressed. What to do?

Answered by Dr. Aditya Gupta

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

What others do is not in our control. We can only work on ourselves. In fact, a real friend is one who accepts you as you are; otherwise, it does not matter if they are not your friends. You just try to be assertive and practice relaxation techniques like yoga and pranayama, which will help to vent away from the stress. Pursue your hobbies and focus on your life goals. If still, you feel lonely, then talk to a family member as they are always our best friend. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
