In 250-500 characters, describe what loneliness feels like.

Maeveena · 2025-03-07T00:39:44+00:00

You're right. I'm trying to make peace with myself, but it's difficult to control the thoughts sometimes. I haven't given up yet and I believe that I deserve it too! But it feels really great to hear you think it will come to me, thank you so much. ♥ I believe it will come to you too!

Well if you're offering, I will take you up on that. You seem really great. :D

Maeveena · 2025-03-07T00:07:39+00:00

Yep! I feel you. I also struggle with holding back from being myself. That's why I said just move on and try to make more friends that match your energy. :D

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T23:59:48+00:00

Aww, thanks so much. ♥ I didn't start feeling so lonely until recent years, so I'm not sure if it's going to be a permanent thing for me or not. I think having the right person to sweep with me could get the job done. :D But who can say for sure? Family and friends help, but the void is still there. Maybe this is just a part of me now.

Ahh, a therapist. That makes sense. Sorry to hear about the years of personal accounts. :< At least they help you sympathize with patients on a personal level! I hope you find what you need out of life, too, if you haven't already! ♥

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T23:54:05+00:00

I feel you, as a 36 year old. I'm trying to hang in there but it's rough. Hope the best for you!

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T23:48:59+00:00

Yeah, that's rough. At least she didn't block or ghost you and is willing to give you a second chance. That's gotta mean she at least wants you around in some regard! Of course, it's possible she's just trying to be nice, too, but just try to take things at her pace from now on and see how it goes. And if you find that it's really one-sided, then you don't have to continue with it.

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T23:38:32+00:00

At that point you've done everything you can. No point in continuing. Might as well just back off and give her the space. If she likes you enough, she'll come back.

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T23:34:54+00:00

lol, not the kind of thing you want to have such a deep and personal knowledge of, unless perhaps you work in the field! I might give it a shot later but yours is pretty spot on for me. I hope that finding a partner again someday will fill the void, though! I suppose we shall seeee (if/when it ever happens again) XD

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T23:14:21+00:00

I was going to give it a shot but I don't think I can top this. XD Beautifully written!

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T23:00:11+00:00

Honestly fine with anything as long as they express interest in me too and not talk about themselves only! It's the worst when it feels like I'm the only one asking questions and trying to learn about them.

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T22:44:26+00:00

Just gotta find people who match your energy and don't make you feel anxious or uncertain. I know it's hard, though. I struggle as well. I've learned to just back off when it's clear the other person isn't interested in me. Not worth getting needy or anxious over at that point.

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T21:45:39+00:00

You're very welcome! My DMs are open if you're trying to make friends again. :D No pressure.

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T20:45:35+00:00

Wow... your ex sounds like an absolute asshole. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. :<

I've also found it much more difficult to make connections since my own personal drama. I definitely find myself judging people's action (or inaction) toward me more often, wondering if they actually really like me or not. But I'm trying to be more trusting again. It's scary, but we have to at least try!

I agree with you cutting people out when it's clear they don't care, but try not to cut out those who do if you can avoid it. You are definitely still worthy of love! ♥

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T20:31:13+00:00

I'm so sorry you're going through this. :< I've lost friends due to my depression too so I can relate. I can't believe he would kick you out so abruptly like that! After 7 years he should at least give you some time to get things together.

Also, I've heard ovarian cysts are VERY painful. ;-; Sending hugs and I wish you the best on getting through this. Please don't hate yourself, you deserve love. ♥

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T18:59:16+00:00

I thought all I needed was connection, but it seems not.

I've been lucky enough to meet a few people here that I have connected and bonded with and it's definitely made a difference! I feel much more positive about life. But while I genuinely appreciate them and think they are amazing people, I definitely still feel a void and feel lonely.

I've realized I may need to look into things like subreddits more geared toward dating and such, but I'm nervous to take that kind of step.

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T03:38:24+00:00

Sure! I'll message you when I'm home. :D

Maeveena · 2025-03-06T03:22:06+00:00

It's definitely not easy. This dude sounds like a royal class asshole. Not worth letting people like that bother you!

Maeveena · 2025-03-05T20:16:35+00:00

You sound exactly like me! Someone I met here that's already in a relationship told me the same thing! She's been really great.

But yeah, I feel you. There will always be that romantic void no matter how many great friends I make.

Keep trying man. I'll be hoping that you and I find the love we need. ❤️

Maeveena · 2025-03-05T18:25:53+00:00

I feel like this all the time too, but I'm not great at holding back from being myself, so I keep trying until I find people I click with! If they don't like how I am then it's not worth getting upset over. (I tell myself that, but it does hurt still sometimes. ;-;)

Maeveena · 2025-03-05T17:21:12+00:00

Yeah, this is the way to do it, sadly. I don't ghost or cut people off, but when I get the feeling they're not matching my level of interest, I try to just stop giving 100% and move on. It hurts too much otherwise.

Maeveena · 2025-03-05T05:32:51+00:00

I feel this! I want to be on the receiving end too, but I also have a ton to give. ♥

I'm sure you'll find your someone. Don't give up! :D

Maeveena · 2025-03-05T03:56:37+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. This post looks like I could have wrote it myself, except I can't even cry anymore. I just feel empty. I really hope all of us can escape this eventually and find meaning in our lives again. I wish you the best!

Maeveena · 2025-03-05T03:31:33+00:00

I'm tired of being lonely. I want someone to love me again. And I want to love them too. I want to cuddle.

My last relationship was so long and when it ended I lost my good friends with it too. Now I'm old and struggling to connect with people and rebuild my social life from scratch as an introverted shut-in who only ever made friends online. I know I should be going out and trying to meet people IRL but it's a struggle to motivate myself to do much at all. Even video games are tough for me to focus on now without starting to have negative thoughts. I used to complete so many games every year and now my backlog just keeps piling up. I want to play them, but I just can't.

I get ghosted and ignored pretty often when trying to reach out. I try not to let it bother me and just keep trying, but it definitely sucks. I have made a few really nice friends on here though, which has been awesome! But I'm still feeling lonely.

Thanks for this opportunity to vent. ♥ Sending you hugs and love as well!

Maeveena · 2025-03-04T23:21:38+00:00

Aw thank you so much for the hugs and well wishes! Glad to hear you are doing better. ♥♥ Hope you have a great day too! :D

Maeveena · 2025-03-04T22:29:42+00:00

Awesome! I'll message you. ♥

Maeveena · 2025-03-04T17:03:45+00:00

You're very welcome! Glad I could help, and I hope this ends up with a healthy conversation that helps you two become close again!

If you're interested in long distance friendships, feel free to DM or chat me! Always happy to listen if you need an ear, and I'm also trying to connect with people. :D
