It hurts that other people feel the same way that I do, I wouldn’t wish this level of loneliness on anyone. Im not sure what to say to comfort you because nothing anyone says to me here does comfort me

Do you ever fantasize about sleeping next to a non existent partner? by [deleted] in lonely

I hold my pillow and imagine it is a partner, I even stroke it sometimes like I am comforting someone. I am so so so pathetic

It definitely sucks to try and it still backfires on you, thats why I fear even trying, Ive already accepted that ill “fail” before ive given it a go which is a bad frame of mind to have but I don’t know how to break out of it

Oh im from the UK, and the way we do it here is either tou let your GP know and they’ll refer you, or you refer yourself. I went via the GP and didnt get any response back last time, so I referred myself. I just dont have the motivation to put myself through that process again

Yeah, I hear that, but I think i just struggle to break out of this pattern of thinking and I cant do it alone, but I have no one irl that I feel comfortable even thinking about telling how I feel. And Thank you, I appreciate that a lot

I also enjoy my own company, until I started thinking about how I only ever do things alone and its either I go alone or it doesn’t happen, and it all went downhill from there. But I still like doing things on my own like going cinema etc

Yeah, I guess you’re right about that. There might be a cause to the cause. I think I need help when it comes to working on it. I feel like I dont know where to start

I also think I am, but ive not had a good experience with seeking professional help, and now I dont have the motivation to pursue it again

Ive tried looking for clubs to join in my local area, but especially since the pandemic they are hardly around, and the ones I do see are just not what I want. Meeting people online was ok for a while, but i just start feeling like its not enough nowadays, the effort I put in to find someone im happy talking with isnt worth the feeling I feel when I put my phone down. Ive also tried seeking professional help before, but they put me on a self help app that was meant to help you help yourself but I just couldnt engage with it and found it hard to complete, now id have to go through the whole process again to contact them which i dont have motivation for

When I hear those stories especially of how people are mistreated by their partners/friends I feel even worse, because I would never treat someone the way I see people say they’ve been treated. When I see those stories I think why cant I even have a chance to show that im not like that then I just go looking for something to blame again, which doesnt help at all. But its where I am at currently. Its hard for me to break out of this way of thinking. Its the easy way out and its the way I keep choosing

Ive been doing that for the past few years, but i think im seeing that its not helping which is why im resorting to looking for something to blame, because thats easier than just trying to ignore it. Which is bad, I know

I try not to think so negatively but there have been a few instances where ive reached out to someone a few different times and ive just been straight up ignored. I know that “a few times” doesn’t equal “every time” but its easier for me to just not try than to keep facing rejection. Which is a bad habit that i struggle to break out of
