My life is ****** up terribly. Need serious help please...save me?

I am 23. Lately, everything has just fell apart in my life. My girlfriend sort of betrayed me, and my family always says how stupid I am. I don't relate to anyone, because at college, it's like I'm invisible. People just act like I'm not there, and I don't even matter anymore. I have about two friends, and we barely even talk to each other. I'm having a hard time opening up to them, because I know that there is a chance that they might leave me, just like all of my other ones did.Trust me, through out college , I have went through so many friends, it's not even funny. Some of them moved, some of them drifted apart, and others stabbed me in the back. I dread going to college almost everyday. I always get judged by others, and people think that they can just walk all over me, just because I'm quiet. But the second I speak up, they often assume that I am rude. Almost everyone makes awkward faces if i try to interact with them because everything is unexpected from me. Once I get home, it's sometimes worse! My mom always yells at me, for no reason! She's always in a bad mood, because she is obsessed with having everything perfect! The second I have one thing out of place, she gets angry! My dad is hardly even there. When he comes home, he never even talks, and every time I try to make conversation, he just gets annoyed. My parents always argue over about everything! I'm sick of it! And my cousins have got the best job on this planet and they are adored by my family all the time and i feel left out and good for nothing because i still havent got a plain job. Everything seems to be going against me and make me realise where i stand. My parents always praise my cousins, just because they can draw good, and they get good grades and everything! And they's so popular at college, so they thinks they's cooler than me and stuff. Today I couldn't stop crying because of all this stuff! Nobody ever listens to what I want. Nothing is ever about me! Ever since I moved a few years ago, everything has just went downhill.And now my best friends don't even talk to me anymore! I always have thoughts of suicide, every day, and I'm so insecure about myself. I just don't know what to do! If any of you can help, that would be great. Please don't judge me, call me emo, or say I need counseling, because that will just make me extremely mad. Its been 2 months my girlfriend of 3 years dumped me and she hasnt contacted at all. Her memories choke me and i feel breathe less and my biggest and the only emotional support has disappeared from my life without giving me a reason. Its so painful to see all this happening and let her grow apart and i cant do anything and see her go like this and my memories buried and forgotten. I cant get along with people because i dont know how to talk and what to talk. i am used to awkward silences when people are around me and i dont talk to a single girl. I always feel terribly frustrated and miserable and a ruthless character with no life. Sorry if it seems complaining too much about life but its kind of something serious to be dealt with now. I'm all alone now and i mean saying this. This stagnant life is killing me inside and i want to move badly. I feel so closed living here. Nothing is changing and praying doesnt work so i doubt in his existence. My existence is useless and makes no difference to anyone .Life is really tough for me now to have million of things fixed in a short time because i also wish to enjoy my youth and see how it feels hanging out with guys and girls. But i know its really tough. Sorry this is so long, but thanks. By the way, I'm doing MBA, if that matters.

    Life can be tough at times. We all go through rough patches, trust me. You're young and you have a whole life ahead of you. People or situations may not be perfect but you must make the best of it. Try to see the positive in what you're going through. For example, the relationship with your girlfriend has most probably made you grow as a person. Your next relationship will most likely be better for it. Try to make your mom happy by making random acts of charity (possibly chores around the house that you wouldn't usually do). You can also volunteer somewhere in order to keep focusing on others instead of yourself. I strongly suggest you talk to someone about this, though (a member of the clergy or psychologist). Venting will make you feel better and you'll receive insight. All the best to you. Just remember that we're all in the same boat and struggling on this road we call "life". You can try praying even though you think God can't hear you. He hears every single prayer. I wish you all the best. Please don't give up; you'll be happy you didn't.

    No one will notice you, unless you have the key ingredient in your look and your voice: confidence! Courage, wisdom, and all the other ******* cliché adjectives, comes right after it and support each other and make your way to the success.

    I know that because I know what it feels when you come to a conclusion that your life sucks and all. I've been there. As a matter of the fact, I am! BUT I know I'll find a way. Not just because I hate my current situation, or I must, because that's in my nature as a live being! We all adapt and adopt in so many different ways. We do it all, because it's in our nature to progress, to improve. You may say I do it because I have to.

    You could just say: "**** them all! I'm going to ignore them!" or you could try to apply the thing that you already know!

    Take baby steps to improve and change your life. For example, you could become independent from your parent by first step would be finding "a plain job" even if it's not paid for or it's for charity. Just focus on that and nothing else apart from your MBA.

    Just ask yourself, how am I going to manage people, If I can't manage my very own self, Apply the things you learn in MBA into your real life. Learn new skills to adapt and adopt. Learn some new words that would make other people feel better. you can't expect they are the ones who would make you feel good. Vice versa, you should be the one who makes other people happy, comfortable, and etc.

    Once you could do some of these you will feel good about yourself and that's the most important fact here!

    I am so sorry for the way your life is going right now. Its a terrible scary feeling when it seems as though there is no one that cares for you. Look at the post that you got from this question, its evident you DO matter. People that have never met you want you to know you are important. It is unfair for your parents to compare you to your cousins. You can only be you and that should be good enough, not only for your parents but for anyone you have a relationship with. I am in college as well and it is an incredibly difficult time. You are not alone, don't let your surroundings and the people in it bring you down. You are not useless or stupid. Don't let others define who you are and will become.Remember YOU DO MATTER!!

    your life was my life....ya believe me i had no friends,my family never understood me,i thought about suicide ,i was a silent guy and i cried daily. but now I'm a better person. because i started asking my self; is it possible that all people are Wrong and i'm the only right one.so i went to a psychologist and i told him everything. to be honest only telling him about whats inside me felt alot better. anyways he told me that i was taking things so seriously.and he was true, i always felt that when people joke or do some funny stuff that it was silliness.so he gave me some steps and i'm getting better.one more thing, martial arts will help you feel more confident and will enable you to release all your stress. so according to my experience these things may help:

    1.visit a psychologist to understand whats going on.it's not something to be ashamed of

    2.buy a dog or a pet.sometimes playing with them may bring some relief

    3.try to learn a new activity i would recommend sports to improve your self confident

    and it's only a bad period of time that will pass away.don't you think that your life will last like that till the end.............good luck:)

    You don't need friends, you don't need a girlfriend, you don't need an impressive job or excellent grades. What you need is to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and start thinking for yourself. I know how you feel, truly I do, and what you need to understand is that everyone feels like this sometimes. Do something that makes you feel good. Listen to a great song or watch a good movie. Go for walks and appreciate nature. Go to a restaurant alone with your lap top or a good book and eat a delicious meal and enjoy your own company. Go to a bar and get smashed and hit on a girl who is way out of your league. Join a dating website. Buy a new outfit! Just do something different for once. Be creative, be confident and tell the world to go to hell!

    In terms of your family, ignore them. Move away and accept that parents are sometimes not the support for us they should be. It hurts but it is common. Once you are out of a situation where you are always being spoken down to you may begin to feel a little stronger and then the rest of your life will begin to get easier. You'll be more relaxed - people will pick up on that and find it easier to talk to you.I know you said not to suggest you get counseling but you obviously need to try to something. It doesn't mean you're going crazy, just that you need to be able to talk through your problems.

    You can never have a life worst than me. I once was like this until i realized that there is no use trying to know if someone out there still care for me. Death wasnt such a good choice for me because i simply dont want to die like this. Its too unfair and i dont want to die without anyone crying for me. Actuall, i am only 15 and i have done the worst things you can ever imagine about. My life is the most miserable among you guys and all i want to tell you is that you should make your life worth it by telling others what you are good at. If you are determined to die, i dont see any problem in showing yourself to the whole world and ignoring the critisms so that you can at least live a worthy life.

    Hey buddie. Don't talk like that. There is always somebody that cares about you. You aren't alone. Something along the same lines happened with my GF except were on a break and it was 2 1/2 years. But all you need to do is handle every thought in your mind positively. Your brain is pre wired to think negative so its up to you to manually think positive. Trust me man it helped me. I would have lost a whole lot more than me and my GF on a break. Hey and if you ever need someone to talk to you can message me. Trust me, I know what it feels like to feel abandoned and lost.

    I can see how much distress youre in here. I was once in a very scary place in my head. Deep anxiety that i can not express in words.

    I am now so happy, i never would have thought possible.

    Let me tell you. You can learn the most amazing things from the crappest situations uve been in. I was in an abusive relationship. I got myself out after 8 years (im 24 now)

    Your main problem-how u feel about urself. Ok this is clique but its true-u need to love urself.

    I hated myself. Now im happy with myself. I do things that make me feel good. I dance, I play drums, I help people on the phone line (charity the samaritans). Im now in an amazing relationship.

    Please remember its you, no one else that can change how u feel. Once u do that, you can change the people around you.

    I have so many frineds, believe this, people love happy people. It attracts them to you with no effort.

    You are a human, just the same as me. You can do it, good luck :) x
