Emptiness is cruel

I went through a stage of loneliness and realised that if I kept the same mindset then that was going to be my lot in life.
So I changed my thinking, I began to realise that I am a good person who can not be around other people expecting comfort and care.
I learnt to love myself and to do all those things I enjoy doing. Without the burden of having to please other people.
I too push people away. I rarely start conversations, even here, I really do not get close to people. Direct Messages might go on for 4 or 5 exchanges before I cease to continue the engagement.
I am at peace with myself and require nothing more than I have now.

WIth the way the world is I think people are now more struggling to survive more than ever. emotional and physically. Many people have lost relatives dear to them. People are trying to hold on to family ties more than they possibily can. FInancial stress is burdening families. There's a lot of social ties being severed. It's not just that, but people don't seem to just try making friendswith others I find expecially for hangingout in public. I've tried and wanted to make friends my whole life. I've just never been able to do so. I'm a basic social outcast realizing even if I make friends online they never stay for long I push them away everytime. Also for me I always feel alone and like I have nothing to do that brings me enjoyment. It is saddening and I am glad that you're venting about it. There's nothing wrong with it even though I know it may not relate entirely to you.

I def feel the same way a lot. And things do seem darker in the world. And even though I wish I was held and comforted as well. I also want to do that for another person as well. It's just hard to find anyone compatible.

I hear you so well because my situation is exactly the same.

But my loneliness accompanies me alteady since decades and now I‘m in an age where I don’t think that this will ever change. 😐
