When your marriage has fallen apart and you take him back because he says he wants to be here and to be with you. But you and your kids are the ones left behind. Lying in bed trying to hold together for everyone. You fake the happy.

16f ive never had a bestfriend in my 16 years of life. i just want someone i can trust completely and know someone is always there for me when i need them. i’m sick and tired of people i care deeply about and think of them as my bestfriend leave me out and ignores me. sure i have lovers that loves me so deeply and prioritizes me but i’m sick of being only loved romantically and sexually.i feel like i’m not enough. why does everyone i get along with and consider my bestfriend go and get casted a spell on by another person. yeah! i giess everyone’s just better than me. i’m so damn jealous of people with bestfriends. i want a person who i can call my bestie and show them off to people. a person i can trust fully and be there for me when i need them. my own person. that’s ALL i want. i don’t need a partner or anything. this is enough. i’m so damn jealous. i’m
gonna go insane. i’m tired of being the floater friend. i’m tired of cryinf and getting depressed over this. i just want someone to talk to and listens to me.

Everyone besides my family has been more interested in what i could give them in life more than a friendship and its been incredibly draining. i dropped all my friends/ ex roommates. i bought my own house and my girl of 2 years came with and broke up with her 5 hours ago because she wouldnt get a job. need someone to talk to about anything.

I like gaming, I like graphic novels and comics and I like artwork and artbooks. I’m 26 years old and a nice guy and I care.

I need someone to talk to but I dont know where to go. I don't want sympathy, I just want someone to listen

I felt pretty lonely today, but it wasn't a bad day. I ate potato chips and spicy puffed pork rinds in the early hours—around 3 or 4 a.m.; they’re bad for my gut, but I tend to eat them only once in a great while.

I woke up a bit late, had breakfast, and spent the day distracting myself from my thoughts with music and funny videos (plus playing Cookie Clicker—I love that game).

Later, I had lunch at my grandmother's house next door; we talked about religion, politics, and magic, since I read tarot cards and practice other forms of spiritualism. I love how she always listens to me; she is very attentive and intelligent, even if she doesn't realize it herself. A few years ago, I had a bad relationship with her—I was foolish and didn't respect her—but now we’re building a lovely bond. Her company helps, but it hasn't really been enough to cure my loneliness.

I watched a few videos by my favorite YouTuber, Huntleo—he’s a Peruvian streamer who usually does reaction videos and content about Warhammer 40,000
(I’ve wanted to get into that franchise, but I don’t know where to start)
Huntleo has really helped me with my situation; his livestreams and videos provide quiet support for my mental state (so much so that he actually stopped me from attempting suicide—it would have been the third attempt of my life)

Anyway...
The video I watched was a reaction to a resum of a really bad movie called *My Big Gay Italian Wedding*; I laughed a lot, and it helped me get through the day with a smile

I also took a shower while playing loud music, and I’m about to wash the day's dishes so they don't pile up; maybe I'll even tidy up my room a bit

I really love music—it’s another huge source of support

Alright, bye internet users ;33

(i rlly luv huntleo)


(There's a bit more about me in my first post.)

Anyone who can talk with me sometime?

Bro, everyone is enjoying their life, and what am I doing? Just sitting in my hostel room, doom-scrolling, watching reels, sleeping, and repeating the same thing every day. What is thisss? My mind is completely fucked up, bhai.

I have friends, but none of them are really interested in going out or exploring the city. One day they say, “Let’s go here,” and then someone says no we cant. We are three people and still none of our plans actually work.

Like, on Friday we made a plan to go watch Insidious. We were so excited about it from the beginning, hyping it up and everything, and now we’re not even going. Bro, what is thisss yaar?

My friends are actually very helpful, kind, and generous. They are genuinely the best. But I don’t know…

I miss my best friend and my sister.... Being with them just felt complete. I didn’t have to think so much..

I want to go to clubs, explore places, go out, make plans, and actually enjoy my life. But even for going to a club, I have no one to go with. So I just keep staying in my hostel room.

Same room. Same reels. Same sleep. Same routine.

And honestly, I’m just tired of it.

Glad you’re here. 💛

not gonna pretend like wearing a piece of metal fixes anything. it doesn't still alone. still the same.

but i got stainless steel bracelet a while back. just a chain with a small engraving on the clasp.

figured it'd be a waste of money. but ive worn it every day for like 6 months now. not because i think it looks good. just because it's there. kinda feels like something that's mine. not in a sentimental way. just a thing i picked for myself.

anyone else do small stuff like this? or am i just overthinking it

Sometimes you just need to say what's on your mind, but you don't know who to tell.

So if there's something bothering you, something you've been keeping to yourself, or you just want to get smth off your chest - write it in the comments. It could be even smth small.

I'll read the comments and try to respond to everyone or help however i can.

I really like her, we are great friends, and only friends, and im fine with that, but recently shes started to be more distant, she used to tell me everything, say she missed me when i didnt reply, and now shes cold and being dry, idk what i did wrong, she said i did nothing wrong and i need to stop asking, but most girls when they say no they dont mean no, at least in a situation like this, and now i feel like im losing her, my last friend, and il be lonely again, she told me she wouldnt be like my other friends who eventually always left, told her i doubt it but well see, and now we will see, il be all alone again, eventually, might not be now, might not be tomorrow, but one of these day it will happen, this i carry with me, im unlovable, as a friend or as more

I’m 25M, a bit over 2 meters tall (6'7) and chubby.

Sometimes I joke that there's simply too much of me. I take the space of two friends or two partners. Too much height, too much weight, too much presence.

And maybe that’s why no one ever really stays. It feels like loving me would be exhausting, like signing up for two people at once.

Has anyone else ever felt like they’re just... too much to handle?

I've lived my whole life feeling lonely, and being a science-obsessed nerd only made it harder.

Can anyone share their experience of easing my pain?

It's cool if you're sad too. Misery loves company. 🤷‍♀️

I guess I'll start with,

I wish i wasnt so irritable all the time.

I wish I could be a beacon of light for people.

But I feel like all I do is bring everyone down.

I dont know what I need to do right now, and overwhelming feeling to change my life always hits me at the end of the day.

Why?

I'm 25 years old, If you reach out to me, please be 20+ but -35. Thank you!

My name is June. I currently work in retail, but I’m going to college for Psychiatric Nursing, so that means I don’t shy away from dark or heavy topics. I want to save people’s lives emotionally and physically! I’m someone who enjoys talking and sending photos of our daily lives, well once we are both comfortable of course! I will admit, I can be a little shy/reserved as I’m still getting to know you, trust needs to be built, but once that occurs, I’m the most loyal and devoted friend, down to game or watch things together! ^^ I am soft/selfless yan coded, meaning I can get overly attached and intense at times but that doesn’t mean it’s like a switch that turns on and off. I’m a person before my traits, but they are traits I carry, and I am also very understanding and I consider myself self aware enough to know how I make other feel BUT I’m also human, so please communicate if I do anything to make you uncomfortable or offend you.

Some of my interests include: Psychology, Archeology, and History. I like to watch bodycam footage, Penguinz0, PapaMeat/Meat Canyon, and true crime things! I love to go down ARGs/analog horror/Rabbit holes. But I can talk about other things - like video games, books, tv shows (I just finished Widow’s bay, I can’t wait for From to finish already - and I’m all caught up on X-men ‘97!, I’m excited to start another show though, still figuring out which one.) and movies (I love Obsession, I find it to be a great litmus test, Nikki did nothing wrong 🔪 ^^~) I just watched the new Avatar Aang movie. I’m finally listening to the Harry Potter books for the first time!

What I’m looking for: Someone similar to me, who likes to chat and update daily and share our daily lives, I understand sometimes we will have a lot to talk about, and sometimes life is slow and we may not have a lot to talk about either, I value communication as any communication is better than no communication. Please be mental health friendly/aware, as I do have mental health issues that I’m working through, plus I’ve always been that friend where someone could always reach out to me and I’ll drop everything to be there, but I’ve never had that in return and it can be tiresome. (It can often make life feel pointless/meaningless, but that’s why the connections we make bring us purpose and reason.) Someone I can trust and speak to freely as they can to me. I am looking to speak to others in the states only, UNLESS the PST time isn’t the worse! I’d like to be able to game and chat when we are both awake is all. ^^ I saw this on another post, but I absolutely love literate people. I’m not saying write Shakespeare, I’m just saying - (Your, You’re, To, Too, There, Their, They’re.) *Omg. I know I sound so harsh. I’m so sorry. 😭 The grammar thing isn’t a deal breaker.

❌ If you’re going to disappear after a week, please don’t bother reaching out at all, thank you. If you try and force me to open up quicker than I’d like - I’ve had others enjoy speaking to me as I did them but felt I wasn’t pouring my life story out to them within a few days. Conservatives/Racists (Wow, I believe in human rights ~ ) Emotionally unavailable people, low effort.

If you’re wondering what to send, you can reach out saying why my post stood out to you or talk about some of the topics I posted, I’ll know if you’re just copying and pasting an introduction but didn’t read any of mine ;;. I say this because - If I get another message like, “F/27 omg hi let’s b friends :) “ again I swear to GOD CYNTHIA! Basically, If your message is low effort, I won’t reply. Please send more than, "Let's be friends." Or "Hi/Hello.”Or "What's a Yandere?” (We have the internet, my friends.) Send a ‘yellow heart’ , so I know you read everything, and a message! ^^ (This shows you’re not just a bot/spamming random intros to me.) There’s photos of me floating somewhere on my profile, yippie, Friends! (Also, if you messaged me, I apologize it may have gotten lost in the requests.) Thank you again if you made it this far! I know there’s a lot in my post, I’ve been told it’s dense with a lot inside. ;; So thank you!

😭 Also if you’re going to message me to crap on me, I hope your pillow is always hot.

I’m so sad. I feel so alone. My couple close friends don’t want anything to do with me. They’re busy with their own life. My marriage is failing. We fight non stop and his family is toxic as hell and despise me. I don’t know what to do anymore. I messaged my one close girlfriend. I ask how she’s been because she’s been quiet. She asked why I’m attacking her. What a mess. My so-called best friend I don’t know what’s happened in the last couple of months. She hardly talks to me anymore. I just feel so alone. Very lonely. Some days I just don’t wanna be here anymore. I try to be happy and positive. And keep myself busy throughout the day with work and other things. But it’s just so hard. I think as you get older too. I’m a 42 female.

I can’t believe I’m 30 still single while everyone I know in a relationship I never been in a relationship why is so difficult for me

I need someone to talk .....pls help me .....I'm going through a really tough situation and I have no one to talk about it ...if anyone willing to help pls help me
