    I'm now in Spain. I'm still depressed because I lost friends and had to breakup before the move. So, now I feel like I need a partner because when I'm alone, I start hating myself and everything goes to s***. I have no idea what to do. to hold myself over from the depression, I'm playing video games. A LOT. What should I do? I just keep feeling more hopeless each day and my parents are super stressed, so they flip out at me if I do the tiniest thing wrong. :tears: Oh well, I guess life is just like this all the way through, so I'll lie on my bed and cry for the rest of my life.

    You don't need to know what to do with your life. All you need to find out is what you want in this life. Once you know what you want then you just work towards it. You sit down, and think of a plan how to make it come true.

    E.g. I need a partner. Ok, where can I find one? Ok, let me try this website, let me try this let me try that. You just keep trying.

    Sometimes it's hard to know what you want. You sit down and write down everything that sounds like a desire and hopefully what you really want will dawn upon you.

    Ok. Yeah. I feel like the reason I might be trying to look for a partner might be so that I hate myself less. And that's not the right reason to go for someone. What should I do to hate myself less?

    Consider whatever aspect of yourself makes you unhappy and simply change it, or force yourself to become comfortable with it. Life is a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. A human is a malleable medium, and you can "fix" things you dislike about yourself.

    If you hate yourself then the only way is to try to love yourself. It's not easy. Usually it takes many sessions with a specialist like a psychologist but it's also possible to do it on your own. You need to realize that you are unique as a person, there is no one else like you and you should appreciate that and you need to accept yourself the way you are. If it's a bad habit like drinking, doing drugs, being angry then of course these need to be changed but if it's like a friend of mine who thinks he has big nose - there is nothing to fix, its how nature made us and we all are beautiful, the problem is not the nose, the problem is inability to accept yourself as you are. People feel the need to have someone to love them because they lack love but the first step is to love yourself, if you can't love yourself then how do you expect others to love you? By 'you' I don't mean you, I mean people in general.
