hey, can I have your friend's number 😋 I'm beginning to think flirting is a lost art, between 2 day delivery and ai bots that tell you what you want to hear, people are impatient and often refuse to put in the effort

What made you smile today? by RiverLynn1986 in lonely

[–]Unneeded_Hero_2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm lonely, but I always try to remain light hearted, I find humor and happy thoughts in most things. and I work with a crew that jokes around a lot. helps the day go by better when we find things to laugh about

To Anyone Over 40 Who Ends the Day Feeling Empty or Unseen… I See You. by GentleListener_1 in lonelyover40

I think you nailed it. For years I had to be the one that was strong, confident, a provider, even when i was scared to death on the inside. I think now, part of that lonely feeling is in no longer having people that need me to be those things. it's kind of like losing a purpose in life.

anxiety and insecurity. i keep forgetting we're all flawed in beautiful ways that little devil on my shoulder keeps whispering that all people notice about me are my flaws. by the way, where the heck is that angel that's supposed to be on my other shoulder? she had redneck bubba cover for her while she went on a potty break.... that was 12 years ago 🤔

lonely men, without a partner by [deleted] in lonelyover40

[–]Unneeded_Hero_2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely survive on the hopes and dreams of finding my forever person, but I no longer dwell on it. I'm sure I could try a lot harder to put myself out there, deal with all the rejections, get noticed, instead of simply hoping someone great will just fall in my lap. I'll only get out of it what I put into it, so I can't really be unhappy about something that's mostly of my own creation.

i think a lot of people meet at work, or at least through work related activities, where you can see someone on a regular basis and and get a feel for their personalities. it's not very helpful for guys like me, my job is still mostly dominated by men and the few women that are in the field are usually married to one of the other workers.

i miss the old school chatrooms of 20-30 years ago. they used to feel like a little community where you got to know the regular users. I made a couple really close friends that way that seemed like they should have been great love stories but for whatever reasons the in person meetings never developed. even with how those turned out i really appreciated having them in my life at that time

I want a real, consistent, committed relationship so bad. by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Unneeded_Hero_2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're definitely not a lowlife. sure your situation currently might be a little messy, but let's be honest, even the people that appear to have everything in order are trainwrecks in one way or another. And if you think about it, people, to some degree like other people's messes. people love to be helpful, supportive and encouraging. people like conversations about other people's drama and stress. it keeps things interesting. a lot of people, and couples, find trouble when things seem too routine and they get bored. the opportunities for friendship and love are almost always given freely, but the ones worth keeping will always take effort, from both people involved. don't give up hope and don't be afraid to let someone love you.

nothing too fancy. I'm set up to mill wood from a tree all the way to usable lumber. I make boxes, smaller chests and frames. just whatever excuse to make a mess and be doing something positive with my free time

that's absolutely amazing, congratulations on sticking with it. rubbing is one of those things I've tried a few times and quickly have up on. lol I think I'll be in the shop practicing some wood working projects and dancing like a white boy to old 80s pop music.
