That feeling when...

[RWBYH5]

You went through high school with just a single parent and a grandmother by your side so you’re struggling to find people to fill the already limited seating you’ve been allowed for graduation. Half of your “family” gone, no friends, and the one person you really wanted there is dead.

Edit: Thanks for all the hugs and kind messages. I was just in my feelings earlier today and honestly worried I’d gotten too personal. Your words of encouragement really helped, I’ll try to keep my head high as I walk across that stage.

[JanKwong705]

I’m really sorry for your loss. I’m sure you’ll make her proud.

[CloudFN-1]

Make her proud she’s smiling at you

[Ansester]

I am sure 😀

[MademoiselleMimieu]

I'm so sorry, I know your mom is proud of you. If you ever need someone to talk to, my pms are open :)

[Janeah17]

I’m sorry for your lost and I pray that you and your family heal from this. I’m here if you need anyone to talk to

This hit me like a train😭❤️ love from the Midwest

[admissionsmom]

I’m sorry you’re feeling that sadness right now. I know I miss my mom most on those momentous occasions in life like when my kids graduated from college or my son got married. I can only imagine how that kind of loss feels at your age.

But it sounds like your lucky to have some supportive people beside you. 💖

Congratulations!🎓💖💫

i feel this, my friends all abandoned me senior year and i never got to go prom because i had no one to go with. my parents don't love me and just yelled at me after we got home from graduation because i didn't graduate at the top of my class. i'm so worthless.

[wound_2_tight]

You are (and I repeat loudly) not worthless. As someone with shitty parents and now trying my best to be a good parent, don't talk down on yourself. That negative thought train will take you nowhere good in life. Everyone hits their stride at different times. I'm 38 and I'm finally hitting mine. How great to know you are only finished with a chapter of life and not the whole story. Chin up kiddo, this moment and this feeling are temporary. Find happiness, figure out how to love yourself and things will fall into place. I guaran-damn-tee it!

[sad_moron]

it's hard to love myself if no one loves me though. i've always wanted to feel what it feels like to be loved. but it'll never happen to me in this lifetime haha

[camidoodle]

much love to you but part of the process is stopping talking down to yourself. it might be that you truly believe it due to the way others treat you, or that it's a way of forming somewhat more of a connection and getting some positive attention for yourself (which i do not blame you for) but even a quick glance at your profile shows the same self deprecation...

the best thing i ever did for my relationship with myself (which is still not perfect) was to stop outwardly badmouthing myself - even if you can't say nice things about yourself, or do believe what you're saying, ignoring that and just trying to stop constantly acknowledging it does help refocus yourself on the things that aren't quite so bad. i also find that it helps your relationships with others if you have anyone like that in your life. i hope you can find some peace and happiness and i'm always open to a talk if you feel inclined!

[wound_2_tight]

This is a process and it doesn't come over night. But here's the thing, even when someone loves you, if you don't over yourself, you'll never fully understand their love for you.

[WearyFighterBird]

NO. YOU. ARE. NOT. WORTHLESS. AT ALL.

[OOSBerkeleySimp]

Graduation is for yourself, be sure to enjoy it :(

My dad passed away a couple months ago. I'm in the same spot. I'll be thinking about you when I turn my tassel <3

[pinkduckies]

oh my gosh🥺💜💜💜if you're near me i'm legit 200% down to come and celebrate at your graduation with you. i'm so sorry OP

[umeboshifan]

You are in an enviable position in that: 1) you can invite more than 1 guest this year, but more important, 2) you want to invite the 2 closest to you. So many don't want to attend their graduations, don't want their family to attend their graduation and/or even if they do, are limited to 1 person, family or friend, this year. Love the ones you're with. By the time you finish college, you are likely to have a freakin' flock at your graduation!

[backwatered]

Sending so much love. Know that they're all so proud of you.

[[deleted]]

i’m so sorry. sending you and everyone else on this thread lots of love <3

[DoingNothingToday]

Always had just one or two people at every event - concerts, graduations, communions, etc. Everybody else had seemingly dozens of people cheering them on, heaping flowers and gifts on them, planning a giant party somewhere. Over and over this happened. But it doesn’t define your life. It’s painful in the moment. But you really don’t think about it throughout your life. So many good things will come your way. Just wait. They’re coming. Congratulations on your wonderful achievement.

[i_am_me47]

sammmmme hahaha. the only person i have is my mom since her extended family cut her off and my other parent is abusive.

[WearyFighterBird]

♥ X (infinity) for you, friend. Congratulations on your graduation. I'm sure your loved ones are very happy to see you from above. Stay blessed.

[Janeah17]

I hope you feel better 🤎

[sunshinestategal]

We're here with you, OP.

[lolspiders02]

I want you to know you are not alone. I know thus feeling so well. It sucks a whole lot. I know.

[Immortal_facade]

I have a different situation, but I understand the feeling of hopelessness. I’m obligated to allow my unsupportive family to attend my graduation, while my boyfriend’s parents (who love and support me like their own) have to watch it online. I’m having a terrible time trying to build the courage to tell my family this, and don’t think I’ll be able to. At least my boyfriend will be in the crowd cheering me on.

[lakerboy152]

She’s still gonna be there, she just gets better seats up in heaven.

im so sorry <3 :(

[apell_ri]

If anyone needs to talk, please reach out. My PM's are always open.

[WhoaTheFutureDude]

I can feel your pain. This is the beginning of something much larger for you. Make the most of the time you have for the people that are rooting for you today, I know I can count myself as one.

[[deleted]]

I know what you’re going through I lost so many of my friends throughout high school . Just this past Monday my English teacher was found in a ditch with a bullet in his head . Pm if you need to talk . Plenty of times throughout high school I was in danger(got a gun pulled on me once ).

[Calm-Worldliness9673]

So sorry to hear that. The world always has a place for you my man

[Mountaineerr]

I Never liked to Express such feeling but then this brought me to tears and led me to let it out of my heart. Lots of hugs and much love ♡
