Feeling Lost and Alone

Assalamu alaikum, I’m in high school and honestly, life feels really heavy right now. I don’t have any friends-I’ve tried putting myself out there, but it feels like no one’s interested in talking to me. I’m always down. I’ve been making dua to Allah for some relief and change, but it’s like nothing’s happening and my duas just aren’t being answered. I end up crying a lot during salah and when I’m alone because I’m just stuck. I talked to my parents about it, and my dad basically told me to just deal with it. I’m starting to think things will never get better, like maybe this is just my qadr. I really can’t handle this much longer-I just want a normal life.

Feeling the same tbh. It's tough when parents don't get it. But Allah sees your struggle, every tear counts. Maybe this test is to bring you closer to Him. Don't give up, things can flip overnight with one sincere dua.

Ya akhi, your tears in salah are a sign of a soft heart. Don’t lose hope. The Prophet (SAW) said the dua of the oppressed is answered, and loneliness is a heavy test. Trust that relief is near. I’ll keep you in my duas.

Man, high school can be brutal. I used to eat lunch alone for months. What helped me was joining a small halaqa at the masjid-found my crew there. Try it if you can. And keep crying in sujood, that’s a victory, not a weakness.

Bro, I was in the exact same spot in high school. It felt like my duas were just bouncing off the ceiling. Keep making them, even when it feels pointless-Allah's timing is perfect. One day you'll look back and see how far you've come. Stay strong, akhi.

Short and sweet: you're not alone, brother. Ummah’s got your back. Make istighfar a lot-sometimes our rizk in company gets blocked by sins. But also, you’re a king for staying patient. Better days coming, in sha Allah.
