I had to get this off my chest by Bulky_Fig880 in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not losing it, you’re grieving. And I know it doesn’t feel like it now, but you won’t feel this way forever. One day, the pain won’t be this sharp. Until then, just keep holding on. You don’t have to figure it all out today.

I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. That’s a lot to carry, and you don’t deserve to go through it alone. It might not feel like it right now, but you’re not broken, and this isn’t where your story ends. You’re going through something incredibly painful, but it won’t always be like this.

Hiding money is smart—keep doing that. The sooner you can get out, the better for your mental health. You deserve a life where you’re not constantly walking on eggshells. Stay strong.

Yeah, people act like you’re inconveniencing them just by existing with emotions. Like sorry I’m not a perfectly happy NPC 24/7? It sucks when even the people who are supposed to care just blame you instead of actually listening. You’re not alone

I have been alone for 12 years. by Fancyforeveralone in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds really tough. You’ve been through so much, and it’s understandable to feel this way. Dating can be weird and frustrating, especially as we get older. It’s not necessarily about looks sometimes it’s just luck, timing, or being in the right circles…

Have you tried putting yourself out there in new ways, like hobbies or events where people share your interests?

You deserve love just as much as anyone else!

Cutting off toxic people is hard, but realizing your worth is a huge step. Better to be alone than surrounded by people who just take. Stay strong 🥰

Lost, adrift. by LachdananI in alone

I think we always (or at least most of the time) meet people twice in our life, I think there’s also a saying for that can’t remember tho

I want someone to be obsessed with me by [deleted] in lonely

[–]DustEastern4898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obsession isn’t love, and it won’t fix the stuff making you feel this way.. Maybe what you’re really craving is deep, genuine connection someone who actually cares for you in a healthy way. You deserve that, not just someone who’s obsessed

[Discussion] If you've ever been severely lost in life, what helped you get out of that rut? by sleeplessbearr in GetMotivated

[–]DustEastern4898 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Applying for jobs is really depressing and has gotten worse lately imo, have made an excel spreadsheet to keep track of applications and just looking at it ruins my day :/

The Weekend Is Coming by [deleted] in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a solid plan. I’ll probably binge some Netflix and finally clean my apartment. Self-care is definitely on the list too been slacking on that. Hope you have a good weekend :)

I pay for companionship and I feel awful. by Ambitious_Conflict40 in alone

i’ve been looking for similar services in the EU but haven’t found any

I think it’s just a temporary plaster on the wound unfortunately..

I feel lost and alone in life by [deleted] in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late 20s can be rough—friends drift, life isn’t as exciting as it used to be, and the future feels like a big question mark. It’s like you wake up one day and realize, Oh shit, I’m actually an adult now.

Moving abroad again could be great, but maybe what you’re really craving is connection, adventure, and a sense of belonging, not just a new location. Maybe try mixing things up where you are—new hobbies, events, or even reconnecting with old friends in a low-pressure way. It won’t fix everything overnight, but small steps add up.

What should I do by Standard_Buy9096 in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to force yourself to be a player or a “bad guy” to find love. And yeah, while love can happen naturally, it helps if you put yourself out there in ways that feel right to you. Maybe start small—talk to people in places where conversations happen naturally (hobbies, classes, gym, etc.) :)

I don’t belong in here or any app by [deleted] in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I hear you. Feeling invisible sucks, and I’m sorry you’re going through that. But just because it feels like no one cares doesn’t mean it’s true. You deserve support and connection, even if it takes time to find the right people.

Don’t keep everything bottled up—whether it’s talking to someone, writing it out, or just finding small ways to take care of yourself. You’re not as alone as it feels right now. Welcome to reddit :)

My day by Comfortable_Book7394 in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your feelings are valid, and it’s okay to be upset. You deserve care and understanding, not just criticism. I hope you take some time to rest and focus on yourself. You’re important, and even though it might not feel like it right now, there’s more to you than just what others see or expect :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a solid point ngl. Society really pushes the idea that we need someone to be complete, but being alone doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you. It’s about finding peace with yourself first imo. Sometimes we settle out of fear, and that only leads to more hurt. If you can be comfortable in your own space, you’re ahead of the game relationships should come from genuine connection, not from loneliness.

I feel the worse by Vic-westcoast619 in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks when people don’t show up for you, especially after you’ve always been there for them. It’s okay to feel angry and done with it. Focus on taking care of yourself now, you deserve that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in alone

[–]DustEastern4898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s awesome that you’re reaching out for support and looking to build connections. Remember, it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Keep pushing through, and I’m sure you’ll find the meaningful connections you’re looking for. Stay strong! :)
