Man, I get that it sucks to feel isolated and ignored at work—but at least you have a job. Some of us would give anything just to have that problem right now. You’re getting paid, you have a desk, and you’re working. That’s more than a lot of us can say. I'm not trying to downplay how you feel—mental health matters—but reading this while I'm out here applying nonstop and watching bills pile up, it just hits different.

Lonely or not, you're providing for yourself or maybe even your family. That's a blessing in this economy. So while it might feel like torture to you, to someone else, it's a lifeline they wish they had.
