it’s basically a bad circle, when you get lonely your mood gets worse and life is worser and you pay much attention about others moods and others action but you dont get the clear mind and you just get some more aggressive meanings but actually it doesn’t. When you’re a bad mood or you feel really lonely and your mental health will in a more danger place and the pains in your mind could let your body go down.

First you should open your door to others and accept others invitation and maybe try not to focus on others aggressive things but maybe positive things like trying to figure out that you’re not adding your feelings on them and finding out that their real meaning and real move and actions, not just think they think im bad, so I’m bad, you should turn around and see another side of the world and maybe you can find some hope and try to be active with others like have a try to new things to new friends to new environment could help a lot.
