Yes it does feel darker

Lately I've started to realise I've become more and more lonley. I see others with their significant other and wonder what about me? Im average looking but I dont have much confidence plus I'm pretty shy at times. I have only a few close friends that I hang out with but our relationships have been a bit tough lately. Im not sure if its just me but recently it feels as if the world got dark and theres this emptiness I feel. When I am really upset I wish that I would have that other person holding me tight telling me "you're ok, It's ok to be scared." I want comfort, yet im too scared to reach for it. Im sacred that if I put my hand out they won't accept it. Maybe its a fear of rejection who knows, but what I know is that it doesn't feel great at all. I just hope I can fill this emptiness soon so that it doesn't get larger and then eat me whole.

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.
