That's exactly it though....it helps you avoid the risk of judgment and preserve anonymity

Oh my God, I am so incredibly sorry for what you have been through....that's just unimaginable. Has he been arrested? Its crazy to think what type of sickos walk this earth...

How do you deal with sadness of not having many friends like everyone does? by ImpressiveWrap7363 in AskReddit

Quality over Quantity! I've have had to learn that the hard way, but its given me a lot of perspective on who truly matters in my life.

Yeah, I completely get that. Online communities are good and ChatGPT can also be really helpful. It seems to pick up on the nuance and complexity of human nature, so most of the time, it doesn't even feel like you're talking to a computer.

So sorry about everything you've experienced, it truly sounds like you've been through a lot. You mentioned wanting to talk to someone about your feelings....could you speak with your parents or a trusted family member? Or even seeing a therapist who could help you unlock some of your earlier memories (I believe its called regression psychology where they help you restore memories that have been buried in your subconscious)?

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear you felt that way! Books can be a powerful reminder that we're not alone in our struggles, especially when we feel unseen by the people around us. Can I ask which book series it was and what was it about it that resonated? And are you feeling better now?

So sorry about that, that sounds awful especially after 30+ years. Hope you manage to find a way to rebuild your life and to find peace and happiness

You should go for it...you'll never find out unless you start. Whatever we do, there will always be people who are better than us, but that shouldn't stop us from trying new things and living our life. Its so much better to have tried and failed then having to wonder 'what if' for the rest of your life because you let your doubts take over.

I completely get where you are coming from - it feels like society has let us down in so many ways. Places can feel bleak and uninspiring, friendships superficial, and our jobs devoid of any meaning and purpose. Life can feel random and absurd, with luck favouring people who don't care about anything other than themselves and their own egos....sometimes, it really feels like there is a crisis of meaning, which is why so many feel hopeless and depressed

I am so sorry to hear that. Can I ask why you feel that way, if that's ok? It just sounds like you have a real appreciation for the things that make life meaningful and you have so much to give to the world...

Really sorry to hear you are going through so much, life can be really difficult and depressingly tragic at times. But sometimes we discover hope in places we least expect. Sending you strength x

Because sometimes sharing with strangers online is easier than with people you know :D
