What is the saddest detail about your life that no one knows?

Hi u/theburritolord, I don't really know what else to say other than, you have to learn how to love yourself, find hobbies that YOU think you'd like, and participate in things that YOU think might interest YOU, not your "friends" or anybody else. Maybe join a gym for the summer, or get a job, or find a hobby, ,like Fishing or jogging. I spent 6 years in a relationship with this wonderful girl, and when it ended a few months ago, I didn't know what to do with myself, I was lost and my life that I once knew crumbled around me, mainly because I didn't even know myself. She was the only person i really texted and was in constant contact with, so when it suddenly stopped, i went into shock and realized how alone i was without her, and ive never really felt "lonely" in my life till then. I had no idea what I liked nowadays. So I did a little "soul searching" and I took a liking to kayak fishing, i started following this amazing youtube channel (neebs gaming) that helped drag me out of the spiraling depression that she left me in, I joined a gym, and I actually signed up for classes to continue school next fall! I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't ever feel worthless, and if you do, just think to yourself "man, fuck those people" and use that as an inspiration to have a "nonzero day" and just do something productive that you're proud of doing at the end of the day. I know it might be hard, but socialize every chance you get, because who knows, maybe the guy in front of you in the checkout line might be your best man at your wedding 10 years from now! Sorry for the long reply, I just hate to see people who are emotionally dragged down by their "friends". Mainly, find distractions that will help you in the long run, instead of being some jerk's cronie. Be yourself and love yourself, and good friends will fall in your path naturally. Goodluck OP.
