Feeling so alone and empty?
For a while now I've been feeling so alone and empty. Let me explain.
I am naturally a shy person and lack confidence but I do also have times where I am sociable, go out with friends and family, talk to pepople etc.
But then out of nowhere I become dead quiet and I don't know what comes over me. I become very unmotivated, nothing will excite me and I feel very lonely and empty. I will isolate myself and just cry and hurt.
I am often alone all day and when people come home o want nothing to do with them?
I feel like I have no one to talk to about I feel, I have close friendships but I feel like I am hogging them down or annoying them when I talk about my feelings. I, Close with my mum and she always says I can talk to her but I don't feel like I can.
All my college friends live so far away so I don't really meet up with them outside of college and I have had no motivation to talk to or meet them.
I'm learning to drive too and I just feeel like a idiotic failure all the time.
Any advice? I'm 17 by the way

Were I you, I would ask someone that you want to get to know better, and ask them for help in interpreting these, even your mom. These really do help people to get to know others on deep levels, not just the surface crap.
Take one article per week, and try and have a 4th day review for them.
For you, I don't usually recommend this, but for you, this one could and should be the start one for it, then the others right in order listed.

This one is the toughest and shouldn't be last, but here it is.

Then I would just use these as one article all together, not 2 like is shown.

YOU HAVE TO PUT SERIOUS MIND AND EFFORT TO IT, and seriously, if you do that with these, you will not regret it, I promise.]
Good luck and success to you for it all.
