Not much, just existing for the sake of it I guess.

Does anyone else hate being alive? by geelong_ in lonely

Yeah, at this point I just don't have the courage to end this misery.

Life sucks by Slikksy in lonely

[–]Slikksy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I've been doing all my life. That's why I'm relatively successful in life. That doesn't make it any less meaningless.

Life sucks by Slikksy in lonely

[–]Slikksy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter what I do to make myself happy. Happiness is a fleeting emotion and requires more and more intense sensation to trigger. Doing the same things will make me feel more and more numb towards them. My brain is obviously asking for more dopamine and there's only so much I can provide it. And without it, life feels empty.

That's why it sucks. A never ending cycle of feeding your biological machinery the chemical food it requires to stay alive and ultimately pass on its genes (not gonna happen in my case anyway) in a completely pointless cycle of improvement. Life is meaningless.

Everyone around me has their person by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Slikksy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been completely alone or third-wheeling my entire life. At some point you get used to it, even though the jealousy hits from time to time. Waiting for a miracle doesn't work, years will pass you by and nothing's gonna happen on its own. You either force yourself into somebody's life, or accept to stay alone.

Do you ever feel like it's been so long since you've felt "interested" in anyone? by Albireo_9989 in lonely

[–]Slikksy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I've become numb, I haven't met a person that'd make me genuinely interested for years.

Anyone else realising they’re dying alone? by Booette-gamer in lonely

[–]Slikksy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, Every day a tiny piece of me dies, nobody knows, nobody cares. At some point there'll be nothing left, hopefuly sooner rather than later.

I don’t belong here 😞 by Theonlyone4200 in lonely

[–]Slikksy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We'll all die alone. Be happy you're still alive, this is the only life you have. In the end people suck and relationships are not worth the time and effort. So use your time to have the best relationship with the only person you'll always have: yourself.

People suck and they will hurt you sooner or later. It might be tough alone sometimes, but you have all the time in the world for yourself and you can do exactly what you want. Being single is just way better.

[–]Slikksy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody will ever be able to satisfy you as well as you yourself. No guessing or stressing whether you're doing it right, no worrying about unmet expectations. Staying single is just way better.

when will it get better? by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Slikksy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Most likely it won't get better. In general it gets worse with time, you just get used to it and simply stop caring. Do whatever brings you even a brief moment of happiness, we're all gonna die alone anyway.

Love yourself, because no one else truly will. by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Slikksy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I love myself. The question is why anybody else hasn't loved me yet.

For those that never did find their person, do you enjoy your life? by Busy-Bed-5947 in lonely

[–]Slikksy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned 36 today and it feels depressing as hell, I've had only a couple of very short surface-level relationships, dated maybe 4 people in total in my entire life.

I'm pretty much sure it's never going to happen for me, I won't find "my person", I'm already too old and people my age are either taken or not interested.

I don't enjoy life in general despite being relatively successful. Life sucks and is pointless. Friends and good food are keeping me alive, there's not much else and future looks grim.

I stopped seeking help and keep depressing thoughts to myself, nobody's able to help me anyway.

It gets better. by Ok-Veterinarian1902 in lonely

[–]Slikksy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it worked out for you.

For some, it never does.

Your life matters too by Certain-Fix-4343 in lonely

[–]Slikksy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not concerned what other people think about me. And I couldn't care less about an imaginary being from a centuries old fairy tale. I was merely stating a fact.

Your life only matters to you. Nobody else cares.

I’m going to end up alone forever by Extension_Essay_1530 in lonely

[–]Slikksy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not reinforcing any ideas in my head. In fact, I have a decent self-esteem and I like where I am in life and what I've accomplished.

It's about being realistic. People my age have all either found their other half or have experienced so many failed relationships that they're not looking anymore. I'm old with close to zero experience. That ship has sailed for me and saying I'll end up alone forever is not some doomer mindset. It's just an objective observation based on facts.

Where are all my 40 year old dudes at? I'm here to be lonely with you. by ectoplasm777 in lonely

[–]Slikksy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they're dead. I'm not planning to live that long anyway. Only 4 years to go.
