All the time.

I gave up on making new friends and on dating.

Nearly every friendship I’ve had ended in them betraying my trust.

I went through a horrible break up with my ex fiancé a few years ago. It cost me everything. My friends, my home.

For the last few years I’ve lived in a sort of exile. Alone in a new house never talking to others. It is lonely and painful but at least the pain is my own doing.

I wish I could get out of it and meet new people who genuinely care about me. But that isn’t how life works.

Yup. I'm kinda there now honestly. Been disabled and in constant pain for fifteen years and they didn't even bother telling me where it was coming for thirteen of them. I'm feeling pretty worn out in general at this point.

Yes and it's not a bad thing.

Sure, in my earlier yrs. But not anymore. I am proud of my accomplishments against the odds. This always sustains me.

I find myself there more often than I like to admit. You're right about how expensive the simplest amount of effort can feel. When your mind sees no purpose or hope it's like why fucking bother.

sometimes it is maybe idk
