On the brink of being homeless, neglecting my personal health due to depression, and having to live off of a single bowl of rice a day to get by. Some kind words would be much appreciated.

I def do. I've always kinda struggled with loneliness, even when I was really young due to bullying and stuff. But back then, I at the very least had a small group of friends that I'd talk to on a daily basis. Nowadays, at 29, I literally only have like one friend that I talk to, and thats because we live together. No joke, not a single person talks to me unless I'm the first to reach out.
It doesn't really help that I'm massively introverted and shy, so attempting to socialize and meet new people is just a fucking nightmare for me. I try anyways in spite of that, but still somehow fail spectacularly and it just makes me want to shrivel up and hide away in my room. (thus isolating myself even more lol)
