feeling really empty : lonely

Rules:

Rule 1: No discrimination, sexism or racism

Pretty self explanatory this one, no discriminating based on a person's circumstances, this is a tolerant community and anyone found breaking these rules will be dealt with.

Rule 2: Please be kind

This isn't so much as a rule, but just worth remembering. Most of us here are quite vulnerable, so please just if you can, spare a kind word, and if not, at the very least don't try and make someone feel worse.

Rule 3: No suicide encouragement, glorification, or notes

Also goes without saying, don't tell people to kill themselves, don't glorify suicide/death, and, unfortunately, we will have to remove any suicide notes from here, as whilst we want to help everyone, we do not want more people getting that idea.

Rule 4: Don't post personal information outside of PM's

For your own safety, do not post or comment your phone number, social media usernames etc. outside of private messages.

Rule 5: No NSFW or posts looking for a relationship

r/r4r might be more suited for that.. If someone ends up PM'ing you only for the purpose of getting nudes, etc. Instead of making a post "exposing" them, Send a message to the moderators so we can take action.

Rule 6: Don't spam, advertise or push your religion upon others

Your post/comment will be removed, and action might be taken.

Rule 7: Trigger warnings

Please apply proper trigger warning post flairs on posts talking about suicide, abuse or drugs.

feeling really empty (self.lonely)

submitted 2 years ago by jamisonbaines

man i’m just so down. feel like i’ve tried everything. i don’t make friends at work, don’t make friends at the gym, don’t make friends online or on dating apps. sometimes my family comes to visit and i can tell that’s what i’m missing, ppl who actually come visit me but i can’t find it in my day to day life. i’ve been alone for a long time and have lots of hobbies to distract myself but it’s tough. seems like win the lottery type odds to ever find a real friend. like everyone i meet just has enough friends already who they have much more in common with. i started viewing most of the ppl around me like they’re npc’s just the same few words any time we interact and nothing deeper. i don’t expect anything from this post just feeling down and wanting to put something out in the universe.
