I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone

It’s not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone. - Bobcat Goldthwait

I lost over 30lbs of body fat between the second week of September and the third week of December and the only person that noticed, was a coworker. My family still doesn’t realize my clothes don’t fit anymore.

I only get my hair cut every few months, but I still get the same high and tight I did in the military. So I go from unkempt hobo, to spick and span soldier. It was two nights before my wife realized I got a haircut.

Tis the Year Of The Dove - forgive, forget, love unconditionally

It is possible I’m being overly sensitive

I get this - your not alone

@Just4fun I tell them at times, they make me feel like a load-bearing wall in a house. Just stand there and do your job

Or a tool; pull me out when I’m needed, but never wanted

@TransientTinkerer I think the most painful part is that they need to be told instead of noticing

@Just4fun it is. The haircut thing; it wouldn’t have bothered me anymore than usual that no one ever notices, but the “oh, you got your hair cut!” two days later? At that point, just don’t say anything

@TransientTinkerer agreed!! My fave is did you get a new shirt (or whatever) ? Not hey that shirt looks good on you or anything
If you want to chat dm me anytime

@Just4fun I chuckled because I was going to say, I could go on and on with examples, but I’d wear out the thread. It’d probably be better to just dm.
