Should also talk to more people, just as friends. You never know what will happen.

I'm glad you're willing to try it out. Nothing bad ever came from a person who wanted to better themselves. Also, you're 100% right about the "talk to more people" thing, the more friends you make, the more you'll have things to do, and when you're out doing random stuff greatly increases your chances of meeting more people.... maybe one of them could be someone special. Who knows? And even if you don't meet someone special you'll have some hella good times to reminisce on.

You don't even have to be good at the hobbies you choose. Just get out there and do something.

Props to you for mentioning it because I totally forgot. This is huge! Occupy your time with fun and exciting things instead of staring at your phone or computer all day. For me, I had the gym but I also got into digital photography when it was nice out. Was a great way to go out by myself, explore the city, and be alone with my thoughts.
Plus, most hobbies make for amazing conversation starters/openers...
On the topic of suicide, if you're truly meaning it, please seek help. I contemplated suicide many times in my early teenage years due to being bullied constantly (who knew being fat, nerdy, AND the new kid was a bad combo?) as well as when one of my exes - who was also my best friend for 4 years prior to us dating - got drunk and cheated on me during university.
Obviously, I don't know what you're going through, but I do know that there are people who are willing to listen. Talking about things makes a huge difference, and ultimately that was what stopped me from going over the edge were the caring words and thoughts, and listening ears, of my loved ones. Hell, shoot me a PM if you really want to talk. If I can help just one person to avoid the path that I nearly took, I'm happy to be paying things forward.
Like I've been constantly stressing, if you're unhappy single what makes you think you'll be suddenly happy in a relationship? Every relationship I've ever had tested me mentally and emotionally more than being single ever did. Being single gave me the opportunity to be free from those stressors and focus on the barebones "me". If anything, being in a relationship whilst having pre-existing issues will just make things worse. Gotta figure that shit out on your own first, or with the help of friends and family.
