I Can't Leave

I keep contemplating the idea of leaving and I keep getting more reasons to leave since I can't connect with or keep my connections with anyone. There are still a lot of people here I admire and would love to get to know better but I can't because they're just going to end up disliking me sooner or later. That really disheartens me but it is what it is. Sure I still have some friends here who do like me for some reason or another but I'm not so sure if it's going to stay that way with any of them anymore. With all the "close friends" I've lost here, I'm not sure I actually have any real friends. It makes me regret ever coming here. Hell, I do regret coming here! Nothing has quite made me feel as empty and alone as this place has. Not to blame the site, of course. It's not SW's fault that I can't have friends. I mean I should just never have come here in the first place. I keep wanting to cut my losses and just leave but I can't kid myself; I may leave for a little while but I would only keep coming back and I'm not about to become one of [i]those[/i] users. Still, I seem to be locked in a paradox of not wanting to be here any longer yet I simply cannot bring myself to leave. Damn my stupid, pointless feelings.

I don't believe that everyone ends up disliking you. I think it is harder for the younger crowd to make close friends. I think friendship here requires quite a bit of time and of effort. I have friends I have known for years from EP who are here too and a few just from SW whom I am close to as well. Examine why you feel this way. And see what needs to change. Perhaps pick just a couple and devote your time here mostly to them. New friends are hard to make here. Your feelings are certainly not stupid nor pointless.

been there many times, i find myself hating how much time i spend here, being annoyed at how many weird/stupid people there are here and not really wanting to connect to people after those that i thought were friends shit all over that friendship. i'd love to leave. I've even left for a month, 3 weeks, 1 week, 2 weeks, and a week respectively, but every time I wind up back here repeating the same cycle of not wanting to be here yet being addicted to it. So what you are saying is relatable, and i have no solution for you because I don't even have one myself. I thought about just getting my two accounts banned, but apparently that is a little harder than i thought.

This place can be torturous in a way. There are good people here as well as some maybe not so good.
What makes you think that the friends you make will always end up leaving you?
It could possible be more of a personal issue with themselves rather than an issue with you.
I get it though. I haven’t made a lot of friends here. It’s a hard place to crack at times.

@Carver well don’t be disheartened. As sad as that is and it really is very sad and I’m sorry that has happened, don’t let it affect how you interact with your other friends. Not everyone is the same. Doesn’t mean everyone will do the same

@Carver I do hate this place at times. Can be quite toxic. Breaks away from it are needed.

I wanted to leave but then I realized that this is the only place where I can talk to so many native English speakers.

Whatever you decide, for as long as you are here, I will be here for you and will not ever end up disliking you! 🤗

@sarabee1995 I don't think you need to worry about me leaving permanently. Being inactive regularly, perhaps. But I can't deny I have a long-term investment in this place. 😆

You and I haven't spoken much here but I have always found you to be a nice, sweet person despite what you write about yourself here. I hope you are able to get to a point where you overcome that which is not good for you, whether that involves deleting or staying.

Do not rely on SW or the Internet to make good friends. I had one good friend who considered himself to be my guardian angel ghost me. We even exchanged numbers, interacted on whatsapp, have had long conversations
