A good thing to do if you feel lonely or upset, is to write a list of all the things you are good at.
You could call this list 'Things I like about myself' e.g. I am a kind person, I don't get angry when I lose, I try to work hard, I am a thoughtful friend. Can you think of things you like about yourself or other people?
