Living with Loneliness

Since about 2019, I've been battling Crohn's disease, which has led me to switch to online school and then homeschooling. I'm 16 now, and I find myself with little to no friends. I don’t have any real hobbies aside from analyzing different anime and playing Minecraft. Occasionally, I talk to a few people, but nothing ever really goes anywhere or sparks any meaningful connections.

I just wish I had friends who genuinely cared about me. Maybe that sounds selfish, but I really need someone to connect with, like an active friend group or something. I’m fully aware that a lot of posts on here are more serious than mine, but I just wanted to share how I’m feeling.
