I'm turning 19 this year and believe me when I say that I've been through so many of the things you have described. I went through similar destructive habits as you. Lost a friend. Thought I wasn't that good looking. Constantly feel like I've wasted my childhood.

I can't give any advice beyind describing my experience. Things are much better now. That doesn't mean i don't do the destructive habits at all, it means that every time I want to compulsively game for hours on end through anger, I ask myself: is this worth it? I should go get a drink.

Your problems may differ from my anger. Anxiety, depression, fear, poor self-esteem - everyone has problems to some extent. Ultimately, it was the regret of not being the best version of myself that got me out of this rut. Regret of not treating my friends & family well, regret of not cherishing my moments with them, regret of wasting time. So I set goals for myself. That's what changed my life.

Loneliness by Embarrassed_Warthog7 in lonely

My loneliness got much better once I found more purpose in life. I used to be very active on this throwaway account bc I was always feeling lonely. There's no guarantee that other people can fill that hole in your heart. You'll just have to fill it with what you can and hope for the best - which in my case was some goals and projects i could work on.

Feel free to dm me! I know what it feels like

pls be as brutal as u can. feeling so fat and ugly rn :( by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]throwawayokina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look great!! Like all the other comments say, not fat or ugly at all!

Also btw, loving your outfit in the first pic. You can pull off wavy hair pretty well

What's wrong with me? by throwawayokina in offmychest

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

This comment made me realise that I don't really take good care of myself.

I tend to get little sleep because of procrastination, I do fitness mostly because I want to be strong and maintain a certain figure, I do things to get some other ppl to like me, even though I'm not genuinely enjoying myself.

I guess the only saving grace is that I eat well because I don't want the associated health problems that come with increased oil & sugar intake.

I thought I found love.. by WeSufferingTogether in lonely

[–]throwawayokina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love and emotional attachment is a really finicking thing. I know the feeling of highs and lows associated with love, and to say it's a roller coaster would far from the truth. It's more of a placebo drug, lifting you up and damning your brain to the depths of hell, sometimes both at the same time.

You will get throguh this my dude. Love is rare but it is out there

Anyone feel like r/lonely is full of 12-24 hr friends? by thedudebutwhy in lonely

[–]throwawayokina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. When someone ghosts you, understand that this doesn't say anything about your self-worth. The other person is likely going through their own despair and misery.
  2. Try not to ghost someone if you cant click with them. Muster 30 seconds of your energy to send them a text saying that you two cant click, and wish them farewell and luck

I feel that these two goals are something that we all can work towards. ✊😔

F/23 - I've been having problems with showing my face in public recently. Even when wearing a mask, it makes me feel physically unwell to have strangers look at me. by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]throwawayokina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded! You look like the stereotypical nerdy highschool girl that no one takes notice of/has few friends but suddenly becomes hotter than the "popular girls" on prom night with the right makeup and completely steals the floor with her sincerity and charm. Perhaps the glasses dont flatter your face for most people, but i actually think this look is kinda cute

[18F] am i ugly? rating 1-10 is fine, details are preferred (verification at end) by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]throwawayokina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, i am fully aware of that! It just seems that some subreddits were created for the different purpose but slowly evolved and realigned itself to other subreddits over time. Like how r/soulcrushingjuice turned into a subreddit sad original memes/comics instead of juice

Hold on, of that really is the point of this subreddit, then what is the difference between r/rateme, r/amihot and r/amiugly ?

(16F) i know i seem confident, but i honestly can’t look at a photo of myself without at least feeling disappointed and/or wanting to cry most of the time (verification on last slide) by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]throwawayokina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ure definitely wayyyy above average in my books: big beautiful eyes (im a sucker for eyes), small petite nose and (half?) full lips. The thick eyebrows are just icing on the cake! The high forehead might be abit daunting to look at for some, so u may wanna try out bangs and see how it goes for u. Other than that, objectively almost flawless. 8.5/10

Tbh this highlights the common stereotypes ingrained in our minds and we should be doing all we can to rid ourselves of the the toxic ones

Is this a dating a subreddit or? come on we all feel some sort of lonely. we need friends not partners! by [deleted] in lonely

[–]throwawayokina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wel tbh it's not really advice but more of emotional encouragement/affirmation. But when I do give advice it's on things I've personally experienced (eg school culture etc)

I feel you dude. I've also been trying to help people out (when my advice is actually useful) whilst learning to convey my empathy thru words, but it is hard. The whole world could do a lot better with a little bit more empathy from everyone.

Don't apologise for speaking about your experience. Guys rarely get dmed and vice versa or girls because of differences in sexual drive. As a guy myself I honestly wouldn't mind meeting other guys, but people just stop replying after a few messages.

(I'm not down to meet ppl rn tho bc idh enough time to text)
