I am a 17 year old boy living in Australia and a lot of the time I feel myself feeling lost. I can't explain the sensation of feels like I'm so alone in mind and that no one else really see things as I do.
I feel myself becoming more paranoid about what people think about me and feel as if I must now impress my friends. I thought that I was a fairly liked person in my social group but looking back on it and at present I feel as if I have failed to make any true friendship with anyone but more of acquaintances.
This alone is nothing to get hung up on but recent family troubles having my father become a quadriplegic have made it seem like I should have someone there to talk to about it. Instead I get the occasional non interested question regarding my situation but no real concern for me.
Maybe i feel as if I am asking to much but I never have said any of this to anyone and I feel as if I could go on for days with how I feel.
I must say that having something that you are proud of doing is an absolute must for anyone feeling even slightly lost. The amount of accomplishment and fulfillment I get out of aorking and building my furniture is one thing that has kept me sane the last few months anyway. I hope someone else reads this and can relate.
There is something out there for you

I can relate. I am a 17 year old girl. I have just left high school and no longer feel connected to any of my closest friends. I feel lost and without any kind of anchor, and because of family dramas, I find myself in a hopeless identity crisis, or even feel as though my life lacks meaning entirely.
The only thing that keeps me hopeful is knowing that I start university soon, and can apply myself into work and study. I'll be doing what I love, and am sure that something will come out of it. There's is something out there for everyone; an individual purpose. Just because we haven't found it yet, doesn't mean its not there. Chin up, mate. We'll get through it.

Why do we feel lost? by: Anonymous
Hi Guys,
I can relate to all of your stories. The sensation of feeling lost is a terrible feeling.
Usually when I am involved in my family's endless problems, I feel as if I've lost myself. I don't really know who I am and at times, I want the REAL me back.
When ever I feel lost, I pack my bags and head overseas. I've done that few times and it does wonders. I forget about my problems and I fall in love with the countries I visit.
Recently, I had few family issues and I've been feeling lost for the last 2 months, I wanna go back overseas but I've recently returned back home to Australia after I had a miscarriage and at the moment, my holiday funding are low.
Feeling lost usually comes from a certain matter, particular things make it develop. Best thing to do is to move away for sometimes until things settle down and for you to regain who you really are.
