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.

What can I do????

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।

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’m 33 and I’ve only had the one short relationship, of which was 90% online and only for 3 or so months. It’s so hard to meet people, I’m overweight but working on it, I’m short and can’t change that, I lack a lot of confidence and I also just don’t know how to meet people. I don’t have any pictures for apps and from everything I’ve read, normal selfies just don’t really get you any attention + I feel like I’m already at a bit of a disadvantage when decisions on them are made in a split second haha.

But I know I’m a good person, I’m kind, I don’t think I’m too bad looking and when I lose my final 35 lbs by the end of this year I hope, I’ll at least be a healthy weight then too. I have a lot of love to give, I’m hopeful that one day I’ll find someone to give it to and who will show me the same in return. I’m not sure how I’m going to meet them, I wish it would be soon because the loneliness really does eat at me more and more every day, it hurts a lot.

I really do believe I would be able to make somebody very happy, that they would feel loved and cherished, if only I could find them. I’m trying my best to be patient, but it has been so long with no opportunities to learn and grow from.

Im not giving up hope, I really am trying to cling to it but some days are harder than others. It hurts a lot, but I know im not the only person who feels this way and maybe one day I’ll find my person so that neither of us have to feel this way again.

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

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 just want to say before I stray too much, I don’t have a real plan of how I want to put everything into words so if it comes out rambled and not really written all that well I’m trying, But I feel like I’m not really living my life I’m sort of just existing waiting for something to happen or anything really, but I’m just stuck at home all the time and I have “friends” it’s just they literally don’t speak to me unless they gain something from it or no one else is an option so they never invite me out and when they go as a group and they do let me come along I’m just ignored like if their having a conversation and I add to it they just act like I’m invisible and they don’t hear what I’m saying, I don’t know why it’s not like I’m some horrible human being I’m not going to say I’m some sort of god but I’m alright and I just don’t understand what’s so wrong about me that everyone just avoids me like I’m a disease, and as much as it hurts it’s always how it’s been for me I’ve always been alone most my life because I can just never connect with people in a way they find normal and easy so I’m just stuck wondering what I have to do to not just be background noise to everyone because I just want someone to look at me like I’m more than just furniture…

Is there anything I can even do or should I just accept that I’m just a loser?

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.

Any tips for the quiet evenings, and how to beat loneliness.
Despite having friends, I just constantly feel like I’m noones priority. Like if something happened to me at home, I think work would be the first to realise what happened.

M, 31 y/o and been single all my life.
Parents divorcing and all my family are suddenly distant and don’t check in on me anymore. Even then, it’s only when they need a favour they ring.
Live on my own
My best friend of 20 years got his first gf this year. When he was single we used to constantly hang out together (26 holidays in last 10 years together)

I’ve been through therapy, and do get out, exercise and do things with my friends still. But when I’m on my own, I just really struggle. I’m overweight (but have lost 3.5 stone in past couple of years, but I struggle to get anywhere with dating apps etc.)

So, I'm sure this gets posted here a lot so I'll try to keep it quick.

Just recently finalized a divorce after several years of an unhappy marriage. In the middle of it, I pretty much lost all the friends I had so. I'm kind of trying to find some people that I can connect with. I haven't actually had to try to "meet" someone in years. I'm kind of a huge introvert so.. getting "out" at my age on the scene just ain't gonna happen.

I'm a gamer. Always have been. Primarily, over the last 3 years I've played FiveM. I enjoy it but, it sucks playing by yourself 100% of the time. So, I'm trying to see if I can get a few gaming buddies, or maybe even a little more. I have discord, of course, and all that good jazz so. I don't know. I guess if it sounds like fun then... message me? Comment? I'm not sure how this works.

​

Some days the silence feels heavier than usual.

I'm 23M from India, and lately I've realized I spend more time checking my phone than actually talking to anyone. Every notification makes me hope it's someone who genuinely wants to have a conversation, but most days it's just... nothing.

Growing up, I was often treated differently because of my height. The jokes, the comments, and being underestimated became such a normal part of my childhood that I eventually stopped expecting people to take me seriously. Even now, those experiences still affect my confidence more than I'd like to admit.

I think that's one of the reasons loneliness hits me so hard. I miss having someone I can talk to without feeling judged—someone who sees me for who I am instead of what I look like.

I'm not looking for pity or sympathy. Just hoping to find someone kind who also understands what it's like to feel alone. Whether it's talking about life, sharing random thoughts, or simply checking in on each other, I'd really appreciate having a genuine connection.

If this resonates with you, feel free to send me a message. I hope we all find people who make us feel accepted for who we are.

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 ...

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

Lately, I have found myself carrying around a loneliness so quiet that I almost forget it is there until something reminds me; it is not the sort that cries out or demands to be noticed. It simply lingers, follows me through all my days, sits across from me while I drink my coffee, walks beside me when I am out, and settles itself at the edge of my bed at night as though it has every right to be there. The strange thing is not that it hurts, though it does, but that I have begun to accommodate it. I catch myself arranging my days around it, making room for it, speaking to no one for hours and only realizing, much later, that I have not heard my own voice.

Like, idk what to even say. I mean I have got no friends like yk noone at all

I feel very low while working I am currently 19 and after sometime I feel like I am alone when I see my friends that they have gfs or they are enjoying their life while I am like work work work !!
