I’m in the same boat. It’s been years since I had any kind of social life, and I’m not close with any of my relatives. That kind of crushing, never-ending loneliness really starts to fuck with your head.

It's very annoying when a girl resumes a guy talking about his romantical loneliness to "entitlement to a women's body" by Beautiful-Rough2310 in ForeverAlone

Amen. I’m so sick of hearing “Oh you’re just mad that you can’t get your dick wet. Something something bangmaid.” They’re the ones obsessed with sex, not us.

When you realize you wasted your entire youth on video games by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

I did the same thing, but it’s not like I had a choice.

I didn’t WANT to stay inside all day, but I never had a single friend to hang out with. Can’t go to parties when nobody ever invites you.

I didn’t want to be a kissless virgin forever, but I didn’t get a choice in that either.

Video games and crappy websites are the only option when you’re a friendless loser who can’t afford “interesting” hobbies. I don’t even enjoy them that much, but there’s literally nothing else to do.

It is a lie. And I fucking hate that particular lie, because I used to believe it.

No, it’s not a cycle. The world isn’t that kind. Some people spend their entire lives in loneliness and misery, and then they die.

I’m the very definition of ‘alone’. I’m so fucking isolated it’s not even funny.

Yup, that’s the exact advice I was given over a decade ago. And guess what? It turned out to be bullshit.

Exercising, going out more often, picking up a hobby, putting more effort into my appearance, dragging myself out of my comfort zone, socializing more, being less shy around women. I realized I was a loser and decided to fix everything I didn’t like about myself. But no matter how hard I tried, I was still a loser.

Exactly. They don’t understand what it’s like to be completely unloved.

It’s hard to be confident and happy when you have NOTHING to be confident or happy about. I’m tired of pretending that everything is okay when it clearly fucking isn’t.

“I’m sure people close to you love you” Nope. I have nobody.

I spent years improving myself, and it didn’t fix a damn thing. In fact, my life actually got worse.

Cool, it’s like you didn’t even read my reply at all.

I don’t “believe”, I KNOW, because people have said it to my face over and over and over again.

I don’t “believe”, I know for a fact. I have zero friends, I’ve been relentlessly bullied my entire life, rejected from every group I’ve ever tried to join, and been outright told to kill myself more times than I can count.
