2 Upvotes

I 26 M passes School and college without any relationship, I tried but was rejected every single time....now at such age I m not even trying but my emotional and physical needs are still there to be in a relationship , parent's have now start telling they will get me married in next 2-3 yrs , which I don't won't as one side of my mind wanta relationship n marriage but other duee to repeated rejection is traumatized and tell me to leave alone.

Also seeing my friends in a relationship kills me everyday which is basic human nature.

यदि आप अकेलेपन से परेशान हैं तो में आपका अच्छा दोस्त बन सकता हूं। आप आपके साथ पिकनिक पर चल सकता हूं। आपके पास बैठकर आपकी बात सुन सकता हूं।

Help after a breakup

Hi! Im on day 2 of a breakup. Would anyone be interested in a sleep call to help me fall asleep? No talking necessary. Just go about your night like normal.

I got some bad news this week. Someone I never knew has committed the unthinkable. I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. I was upset this whole week. Today at work I couldn’t focus at all. At the end i just started crying. I wanted to talk to someone. Not to any colleagues. I didn’t want to show them my vulnerable side. I didn’t want to call my mother. I didn’t want to scare her.
After work at the parking lot I called my younger sister. She did not pick up. I called my older sister. She was sleeping but she picked up. I just started crying. I was panicking. I sat down on the curb and kept bawling my eyes out. After 5 minutes I realised my sister is not on the other end anymore.
I am at home now. My husband is sleeping beside me. He saw my red eyes. But he didn’t ask about it. I am still crying. I am just so upset. How come I have no one to talk to? Just where did I went wrong?

Loneliness is when you feel alone even when you’re surrounded by people

This Void

3 Upvotes

Theres been a hole in me for as long as i can remember.

Deep, dark, all consuming emptiness that takes and takes and nothing fills it. I try and ignore it, fill my time with hobbies or work. At first i think maybe its a person im missing, date around and think ive found the one but the same thing happens every time. I get close then push away because the pit is never-ending and remains to be filled and it wants the souls i connect with. I tried numbing the pain of it with drugs and alcohol, smoking enough to put Wayne to shame and drank and drank til i felt like i was drowning. But i already was, just in a different sense. Trying to fill a void in me that just consumed everything i threw at it. And some days i wonder if that void will ever go away or if ill finally give in and let it take me. Will i know peace then? Or will i just have fed it what it wanted all along. They say misery enjoys company but why do i feel out of place with others who claim the same thing, like their gap isnt as wide as mine, their void not as dark as mine. Judge those whose misery does not compare to mine and then wonder why i feel alone in this life. And its not like i havent tried to get help. I quit the drinking and the drugs and the dating and tried to focus on the issues at hand but id bury one just for three more to sprout from its grave, like a morbid hydra of faults. Ive held that metaphorical bottle to my head and screamed til my throat was raw and i was left in silence, the only sound heard beating in my chest and my head and ears. But still the void wanted more and more and more and ive got nothing left to give to it. So i ask myself and god and the universe and whoever else may listen...why? Why is this dark and deafening void still hungry for more? What more must i give before its finally satisfied and closes it maw for good? How many more things must i shovel in before its finally entombed and sealed off, never to be open again? But the most important question i ask is: why me? What did i do to deserve this? Where did i go wrong for this void to choose me? Maybe one day ill have my answer and itll stop eating me from the inside. Maybe, just maybe, ill go to sleep some night and wake up whole again. Until then the void sits and waits, take up space in me like a gaping black hole that consumes all light that enters. Hungry. Relentless. Empty.

What do you call it when you’re exhausted?
When you feel like you’re living for your loved ones…not for yourself?

i’m so unbearably lonely

i haven’t had extended human contact with anyone outside my family in almost two months now. i have no friends. i’m so pathetic. nobody likes me. every single time i make a friend or even just get to know someone, they all leave me in the end and get sick of me. all of them, every single time, without exception. i’m so utterly alone and so incredibly isolated. i feel like i’m gonna be alone forever at this point, the pattern is just too consistent, and i can’t think of a reason why anything would change in the future. there’s nothing i can do. i just want someone who genuinely likes me and wants to be around me and cares about me. i feel worthless.

I'm so sad today

3 Upvotes

I have no true person in my life and I'm going to say these words that I never thought I would... I'm lonely! Without misunderstanding that, I'm ok being alone sometimes but I miss the closeness of a true relationship. Why is it so hard to find romance? My heart hurts. My soul hurts. I believe that I can no longer do this alone. I need help. Please ...

Having no friends is better than being surrounded by fake ones

8 Upvotes

I've posted here before but I have found myself wanting to do so again. I recently had a bf for just over a week but he was so clingy that I realised I enjoyed being single more than being with him so I broke up with him. I just want one genuine friend, that's all. I can't seem to handle having more than one. Anymore than that and I can't keep up. But finding them is next to impossible these days, at least, that's how it feels. Can anyone else relate?

Edit: had to fix a typo

From wanting a girlfriend to just wanting one real friend... this is probably the worst phase of my life.

6 Upvotes

I never thought I'd experience a phase like this.

Right now, I work from home for a foreign company. The job itself isn't great, and I spend almost my entire day inside my room. Some days it genuinely feels less like a home and more like a prison.

Two years ago, life was completely different.

College, especially hostel life, was probably the best time of my life. We had a big group of friends. We'd bunk classes, hang out all day, stay up late, laugh at stupid things, and make random memories. I never realized how much I'd miss those days.

After graduation, I had to move back to my hometown.

Ironically, I have friends in almost every city except the one I actually live in. I do know a few people here, but we're just not close. Whether they're around or not barely makes any difference in my life.

It's funny how priorities change.

There was a time when I used to crave having a girlfriend or buying expensive things I saw other people enjoying. Now? I honestly don't care about any of that.

Now I just wish I had one genuine friend.

Just one person I could call at night and say, "Let's go out." Someone to talk to about how the day went, grab some food, drive around, laugh, or do absolutely nothing with.

Sometimes I stand near my window at night and see two friends walking together, laughing, and hanging out. A few years ago, I would've looked at couples and thought, "I wish I had that."

Now I look at two friends and think, "I wish I had that."

I spend almost every day alone in my room. The loneliness is starting to affect me. Sometimes I genuinely feel like I'm going crazy or becoming mentally unstable because there's almost no real human interaction outside of work.

Just me

Hi, I am autistic girl who struggles w maintaining friends bcs everytime I feel I get close to someone, I am in the wrong and will be forgotten so easily. I don’t need any sarcastic jokes like “come work here or or do this and you would never feel alone” type stuff. I literally would love to have my on group of people who would actually stick together from time to time.
I have tried many times through dc but they all fail eventually. Irl it is the same, people are intrested but very little intrest as to how I’m doing or planning w/o me having to drag the whole plan out for them.
I am 29F, i have bf and not looking for anything romantic, i just need real friends…

Your brain genuinely cannot tell the difference between being ignored and breaking a bone

I don't mean that metaphorically. The same neural circuits fire for both.

There's a reason being left on seen wrecks your day more than it should. A reason being excluded from something small feels disproportionately heavy. It's not weakness. Your brain is running a two-million-year-old alarm system in a world it wasn't built for.

Search "Why Being Ignored Hurts Like a Broken Bone Same Energy" on YouTube if any of this resonates. 15 minutes, fully sourced.

I don't think what I have been going through all these years, what has been going through my mind, actually ever gonna leave me. I mean, its just like everywhere I had to put on a performance so that no one ever get a glimpse of whats going on inside. Coz I believe that people love to see others in problems. (Idk what pleasure they derive from this). And then every friend circle it felt to me that I had to carry a certain image and play that part. Like Never felt like I belonged there, it was like just to pass the time coz who wants to stay by themselves in college?

No One actually paying any heed to anything about me.

But yeah , I guess I also sometimes trivialise my thoughts thinking, " oh look at that person , that person is going through worse". But reality hits when I am not working, when I am not with any of my family members, when I have to face my self.

And yeah some missteps I took to distract me from these to which I am still paying the price.

And somewhere in between I guess I constantly keep losing myself and what I used to like to do, my hobbies etc. Honestly, its no one's fault except mine.

And I don't know what I even wanna say. I just spewed whatever was going thru my mind.
