They live next to highschool so there is no o e around here my age and all my friends have either moved away, working, or they're dating and leaves not much time for me. I also work at a comic shop, which s the only time I get out of the house, which is to go to work. I can't get a car right now since all my money is going towards student loans or art supplies. So I'm stuck at home any free time I get. I'm well off, I don't have to pay too many bills and my mom cooks all the time. But I feel really lonely alot. I can't seem to meet anyone, online dating hasn't helped since noone live near me. And the only girl I ever dated, said she would come visit me or we would hang out. She used to answer all my texts and emails. But when she gave me she gave me she just wants to be friends bit, she just stopped contacting me. I texted her today, how has she been, and got no response. And now, I'm having trouble drawing... I have t been able to draw anything decent in the last week or so. What can I do. Art is pretty much the only thing I have left, and I think I'm losing it. I feel like my friends are leaving me, and I'll never meet someone special because of my situation. Any advice, this is where I am now, maybe there is a solution that may r I'm not seeing.

 I guess your art has been suffering recently because you are feeling down and depressed about your situation at the moment. You need to try and get out of the house. It is not healthy spending all of your free time stuck in side and only going out to go to work. Do you have any friends that you can go to and spend the night at there's. You need to have a social life or else all your friends will slowly start to disappear. Get in contact with your friends and organise nights out. If they live away from you well ask them could you come and stay with them.
As for your love life, well it is going through a bad spell at the moment because am guessing you are not to happy about living back at home where there are no girls your age. But just remember this wont last forever. Am sure you will get on your own to feet soon enough. Maybe you could look for work else where and rent out a little flat for yourself. Independence would be great for you and you would be free to see whoever you liked then. Try and look for work outside of your home town. It doesn't need to be in art just something that would pay the bills for you and get you on your own to feet. Try and save up some money from your job at the moment.
