<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Hello, Reddit.

I'm not really sure how to begin this, because I'm not in the best place emotionally right now. My life hasn't been rough in any sense but I do feel that for the vast majority of my life I have been emotionally neglected and left to my own devices by others. The older I am, the worse this gets and I feel that this trend is likley to continue for some time, if not indefinitely.

I realise that I am the "master of my own destiny" and that changes need to be made and directed by me. However, most of my efforts have not been successful and there does not seem to be a great deal of improvement. I am unsure how to proceed further regarding this.

I decided the least I could do is come to terms and accept the complete possibility that I may be on my own for some time. The problem here is that I am a very social person, despite it being difficult for me to maintain. I'm not sure what I can do to become fully self dependent and accept this.

Admittedly, because it is in the run up to Christmas now that this has become worse for me, as it usually does this time of year just because of the nature of the holiday.
<bot>: Alone most of the time, want to know how to cope and not care so much about it anymore and be more self sufficient. Advice?
