    Hey my name is Calvin.

    I just wanted to share my story, what with I’m struggling with right now. Hope you guys can give some advice or can share some similar experience.

    Since 2 years I’m friends with a group of people. We’re medical students at the same college. I got in contact with these guys, through another friend who is also in the group. But now my problem is that I feel kinda disconnected from them. I do care a lot about them I think… But it is so hard to connect with them because they have such different hobbies. They take a lot and watch anime. Me in the other hand watch series and movies and like to sing. But they don’t really like it. Most of the time when we are together they are talking abt games or anime. That’s why I feel so disconnected. Also im kinda struggling with depression myself right now. And am really scared to be alone. Also I’ve never had a relationship, because I am gay and kinda in de closet.

    It is just so hard for me, cause I feel so lonely right now. The only thing I had was family and these friends. But I just don’t feel the connection anymore. I tried to play games with them to connect more with them, but because they are really good gamers it’s just so hard to really play with them. Its just that K put a lot of effort in these guys, but I don’t really have the feeling that they appreciate it.

    I just don’t know what to do now

    Has anyoneexperienced the same situation?

    Please help

    Dear Cal:

    Feeling/ being “disconnected with friends” and feeling depressed are related. We are social beings that need to feel connected to other people (and sometimes pets).

    Your friends are into games and anime, so they have different interests from you, that is a problem. Also they may all be straight while you are gay and in the closet- these two factors make connecting with them difficult.

    Is it possible for you to connect with other gay people, come out of the closet in some context, so to responsibly connect with others, preferably gay people with similar interests?
