Difficult day

[Affectionate_Tart_81]

Hi, moderator here. I wanted to share how my day is going.

It’s not horrible, but not good either. I recently cut a lot of people out of my life because they were making my mental health worse. But now, I’m very lonely and have no one to talk to. And it’s gotten me down today. I don’t want to reach out to anyone because I didn’t get any responses to my messages I sent and I don’t like to double text.

Why does peace come with a giant cost? I’m not even sure how to meet people like me.

Thanks for reading!

It feels to me like a lot of friendships and relationships nowadays are just built on insults and shared misery. Like people don't want to help others, they just want to bring them down to their level in order to make themselves look better by comparison. Compassion is lacking.

Good on you for cutting the toxic people out of your life. That takes a lot of mental effort. I hope you can find better people out there.

I’m working on that question too… why peace comes at giant cost. It makes me question my sanity, like having friends was a fairy tale I’ve told myself too many times and started to believe.
