Feeling Isolated This Eid... How Do I Find Peace?

Assalamu alaikum. My family doesn't really practice Islam; they follow cultural traditions rather than the teachings of our deen. It's hard to ask other Muslims to include me because I'm worried they'll see how alone I am, and honestly, I don't have a big circle of friends anyway. I never know what to do when Eid comes. It always brings me down, seeing everyone outside celebrating with their loved ones while I feel so by myself. Any advice on finding comfort and dealing with these feelings?

This hits close to home. My family's the same way. Maybe try volunteering for Eid? Helping others always lifts my spirits and you'll meet good people.

I feel you sis. My first few Eids in a new city were so lonely. Reaching out is scary but maybe check if a local masjid has a community iftar? Baby steps.
