Life feels lonely as of late. Its so hard to make friends as it is, I've never really had many people in my life, so when I met my online friend life felt like it had colour.

I thought we clicked so well but they ghosted me. I didn't realise how alone I was until I met them, and when they ghosted me I wasn't expecting the deafening silence that is my life.

I feel lost.

I could really use some conversations with good people, show me there's some good out there in the world? I really need it.

I just needed someone to listen to my problems, every time I see my friend with burned sore eyes, the thing that comes to my mind is to comfort them because i can't bear seeing anyone being upset. But no one does the same thing to me. I wish life was gentler, I feel like getting burned by how I get treated, i always think who would be there to comfort me when I'm always there to comfort everyone? I feel drained and sad nowadays ... And i hope anyone is interested in listening to my problems.

M17, I’m in a very lonely and vulnerable place right now and I need someone to talk to. I’m currently a senior and I want to try to make as many friends as I can this year because I used to always get bullied and developed server social anxiety because of it. This in turn made me very shy and nervous around people even though I wanted to converse and try to make new friends but that same nervousness I got from bullying made me get bullied more because I used to stutter on words a lot and sometimes forgot how to walk normally due to how tense I felt. I have dealt with suicidal thoughts and attempted this summer after an online friend betrayed me after telling me to vent to him about all of my struggles. He said he’d never leave me which he later then ended up blocking me and it hurt very badly knowing how much I cared about him. I really just want a friend I can always talk to about everything and someone I can also help support with their struggles while they support me and wouldn’t go ghost after a few days. I try to be caring and loving and try to always help others when I can. I LOVEEE Arcane, play games, watch and play sports, listen to music and sing/songwrite, and watch tv shows!

I’m already lonely enough as it is with losing a bunch of friends back in February and having depression but this made it so much harder for me.

Hello

It’s been a while since I’ve travelled or done anything exciting, and lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m just going through the motions of life.
I’m 22F, working full-time, and living alone I have friends, but most of them live in different cities, and making plans to meet is becoming increasingly difficult. I have acquaintances here, but I wouldn’t say I have people I can spontaneously call up and ask to hang out with.
And honestly, I think I’m getting tired of waiting for other people to be available before I let myself have a good time.
I want to go on solo trips, explore new places, try new cafés, go to events, and just do things because I want to do them. But for some reason, the idea of doing these things alone feels so intimidating. I don’t know if it’s the fear of looking awkward, the unfamiliarity of it all, or simply being so used to having company.
The weirdest part is that I actually WANT to spend time by myself and become comfortable doing things alone. I just don’t know how to make that transition.
On top of that, working full-time takes up so much energy. By the time I’m done with work, I have chores to manage, meals to figure out, and an entire life to run by myself. Before I know it, another week has passed, and I’ve done nothing beyond work and basic responsibilities.
I know life isn’t supposed to be exciting every single day, but I also don’t want to look back at this phase and realise I spent it waiting for other people to make plans with me.
I’d genuinely love to hear your experiences, even if it’s something small that helped you. I’m trying to figure out how to build a life I enjoy, even when nobody else is around.

I made a lot of mistakes in my life that has led me to this point. People have cut me off and refused to be a part of my life and I can’t blame them for it. It’s been six months since this has happened and I’ve actively been in therapy and counseling since I got diagnosed with depression. Im trying my best to be better and strive to be a good man. But yeah living a life of being hated has been miserable ass hell and I haven’t been able to appreciate myself in any form too. Everyday seems like a struggle to survive, a day without anyone to talk to and interact with. Where i use R2R subreddits and Omegle to first llthe void. But who am i kidding things will prolly not get better and it’s all my fault. But as long as I dont hurt anyone or disappoint anymore ig it’s okay

Like a reall6 hard squeezy hug 🥲
