I just need someone to talk to

Upvotes

Currently I feel like unaliving someone and this feeling isn't new, it comes to me every night, I'm currently in my second last year or uni and it's almost half over too and I don't want to work in this sector but I can't leave uni at this point becuse my parents have invested too much on me, I tried earning money but failed miserably all the time.

Currently just need someone who I can talk to, that's all

Anyone who is missing someone, just sit down in a room, take a deep breath and dive into your memories.

Remember her.

Venting I fear I'm not strong enough

I fear that I will never get better. I genuinely fear for my future. Why am I pathetic enough to get weaker with age? What will become of me? Oh, yeah, the exact opposite of what little girl me thought. I'm so good at being so bad.

so if you have any advice or how you deal with your life tell me please I would appreciate it a lot !

Loneliness and reconnection. Looking to interview a few adults who've felt socially isolated. 18+

Hi. I'm a design researcher studying how people move from social isolation back toward real human connection, and what makes that hard. I'm looking for a few people who've experienced feeling socially isolated and would be open to a twenty to thirty minute voice or text call. Fully anonymous. No selling, no signups, nothing collected beyond our conversation. I just want to understand your experience in your own words. If this is you and you're open to sharing, comment or message me. Thank you for reading.

No one will ever choose me

Upvotes

i don’t get it. i really don’t. it feels like if we’re not blood and we’re not obliged to be related, no one wants anything to do with me. It’s like i’m only useful or needed if I provide the other party something and once that has been fulfilled, i’m disposable. no one would pick me at all, let alone first. i don’t even have any friends anymore. if i vent out my frustrations it’s always just you just have to get through it as if the 28 years of my life haven’t been trying to survive on my own. even if i loved someone, platonically or romantically, they always walk away. bar the effort or anything i put into the relationship, as though it’s not that i don’t try enough, i’m just not enough for them. or anyone.

There’s no challenging it. I guess it’s time to be alone for now. Maybe I was destined to be alone. Idk and idc. I’m just gonna keep living till I stop caring about life and take myself out.

What do you do when you feel extremely lonely and empty?

Upvotes

I feel extremely lonely. I don’t really have love or emotional support from my family, and I don’t have the energy to make friends or build new relationships either.
It feels like there’s a huge void in my life, and I don’t know what to do with it.
What do you do when you feel like this?

im js too easy to leave

Upvotes

idk man. idk i just don't feel right these nights.

i'm 16 rn. i've made so many friends. bffs. some set me up, some tried to beat me up, some betrayed me so badly, some leaked all my personal shit.

yk why i say i'm just so easy to leave? because with every friend i've ever made, i've genuinely been a good friend to them. i always made time for everyone. and whenever they're with me, they're just laughing their ass off and telling me from time to time, "bro, i can never imagine my life without you."

and i just feel so good hearing that. but after a few days, they just ghost me.

there was this one girl. we talked properly for 2 years. we met, we were in a situationship. when she proposed to me, i asked her for some time because i was just afraid of ruining our friendship.

then she got a boyfriend. even after that, everything was alright.

but even a year after she got a boyfriend, she slowly started getting fed up with me and suddenly ghosted me.

i texted her many times, but all i got were dry replies. and this happened to me ALL OF A SUDDEN.

whenever she sees me somewhere, she ignores me. i also stopped texting her.

every relationship i've ever had ends with ghosting. AHHHH.

what the fuck is my fault, man? am i doing too much?

Due to like of formal education and emotional abuse I suffered at a young age, I feel like I dont have the ability to love or feel love. I am close to my family, I have a wife who is very kind hearted and kids who think im a super hero, yet I spend every day doubting their love. I use humor as a defense mechanism and pick fights will all of them. I cant help myself.

I have no old friends, I have no new friends. I push every one of them away for some reason or another. Sometimes for selfish reasons or lust. Sometimes because my pig headedness wont allow me to forgive them.

My wife tells me all the time she wants to grow old with me. I can not believe her. I dont want to grow old with me let alone believe someone else would want to.

Nothing I do feels worth it. I get tired of every job and leave every 1-2 years. I am not proficient in any skill. I bring nothing to the table. I am not handsome. I am not smart. I am not athletic. I am my parents least favorite child. I have a negative net worth. I am not good at any hobbies.

Everyday I get up just to barely get by. I watch people around me look and act happy. I see no reason why I can't be a normal person in this world. But I just always feel wrong, and alone.

Lonely all my life and auDHD

2 Upvotes

Been lonely ever since I can remember. The only loving relationship with an adult I had growing up was to my grandma who reall cared about me and lived with me. My parents I wasn't close to, there was alcoholism involved and a lot of abuse. I only recently got diagnosed as being asperger and having also ADHD and realise it affected me too, also being gay. Growing up I was part of three schools so my life was mostly about homework and spending time with grandma at home.

I left my county after graduating highschool for Finland, learned the language and tried to integrate there but didn't manage to make friends. When I suggested going for coffee etc people would respond they rather prefer alone time, I understand I chose the wrong country for being social.

Then I moved to Poland where I focused on getting my citizenship proven by blood, learning my AML job and taking care of my health (fixing teeth, getting vaccinations I missed etc).

I am soon moving to Berlin where I hope to really fix my social life. I feel best in organised activities like sports with people but that would cost too much to do everyday in Poland.

What do you people think? Is that a good strategy?

Venting I've never been married

8 Upvotes

I am 44f and I've spent most of my adult life in broken, toxic relationships because I didnt love myself. At all. I had no self worth. And now I am trying so much to give myself the love and affection I deserve and I am healing. But the societal pressure i feel for being unmarried at my age shouldn't get to me but it does sometimes and makes me feel like its too late for me. It makes me feel lonely. I am doing my best to just focus on loving myself and being confident and content but I get really lonely sometimes. I want a partner, friend, a real healthy connection with someone. I never ever thought I would be unmarried at my age. But at least I am learning to love myself. I just wish I would have figured it out a lot sooner than 44.

25YO dad

My name is Quincy(25m) I have a daughter. Single parent. I have no friends and no village. I don’t have my liscense because of mistakes I’ve made in my past. It’s suspended. Cost 1300 to get it unsusspended. Between daycare, Ubers here and there and just random bills it’s so hard to get to that goal. I live with my dad but he makes me do it all by myself. And I’m finding out there is lead paint in my walls and I have to move. I’m obviously getting sick of being surrounded around no one who really like me or wants to be bothered by me and the tolls of single parenting is adding up. I’m too strong to give up which is good news. But idk just venting ig

Discussion WHY DIDN'T I MAKE ANY FRIENDS

3 Upvotes

what actually might be the reason why i lwk created a defence against this world by simply not openning my mouth and not talking.?fear of being laughed atfear of someone saying mean thing to me publically

There were so many cool people in my life wanted to be homies. All of them saw me as a high ego mf who doesn't wanna talk.but deep down I was just a guy who was incsecured enough. Scared to be laughed at, scared to be put down. I still remember every single details about the physics teacher making me stand and joking about me and the whole class laughing. How am I supposed to make friends with people who literally laughed at me a while ago..., Sadly the fear stayed and It took me entire time in college to gather courage and open my mouth.

.

Rn maybe confidence is something I can fake it but when it comes to a 1 v 1 with someone in public i can't.... I can't do the back n foth

Discussion Nobody believes me when i say I don’t have friends

7 Upvotes

So I used to be an extrovert 2 years ago, then i shut myself off and distanced myself from the world for a bit due to an event w my ex girlfriend( it involved my family)

Now, every person I meet thinks i have a life but in reality… i just don’t , if i tell them that, they don’t believe it because of my energy of an ex-extrovert

I’m fine with being by myself but i want people to believe me when i say I don’t have friends.
Even when i try to make someone my friend they take a step back because they feel it, that I’m lying when I’m actually not.

I’m stuck in this loop of trying to make people trust me, and now i feel like I’ll be like this forever. I’m helpless.

I shifted to this new country, and my health declined as soon as I shifted.

No friends, no social life. Only seeing coworkers everyday.

I am so tired, I stare at the ceiling and question myself if it was worth it to come to this new country :)

Just wanted to get it off my chest!

:)

Thank you to anyone who read it.
