they won’t understand

What do you think life is really about…
Lately I’ve been feeling some kind of emptiness. It comes and goes as usual. But at a young age I shouldn’t be feeling this. I should just be living not simply existing.Some people say life is about love Life is about friends. Life is about money. Life is about school, work and achievements based on those things. I feel like it should be love right. Love is everything but not everyone has someone who loves them.

Love can be platonic, friends people you really care about. Then your family. Someone you love as like a partner. But I know there’s people who love me but nobody that actually understands me. I have one real best friend but not even she knows I how I really feel. I feel this kind of heaviness on myself and I don’t know how to relieve it. She has her own problems with her mental health so I wouldn’t want to burden her with my issues. The amount of effort I put on trying to help her is the amount I wish I could get but I know that wouldn’t happen even from her. I can’t tell my other close friends cause they would never get it, they would think feeling this way is depressing and emo. I don’t think they would take it very seriously. I don’t think I’m even depressed tho. I feel happy very often but sometimes the feeling of some kind of burden comes back every once and while. I do so much for my friends and the amount of sacrifices I make and things I forgive them for are things that if I did it they would get mad at me for cause it’s out of character for me. That’s why I can’t change I’ll never stop making these sacrifices cause I care way too much. So how can I fix myself, pls help?:)
