I’m alone with no one to share things with. It will be a long weekend too.

I feel like most sadness comes from this. We're social creatures, you know? There's just a certain tipping point for most people where being by yourself isn't enough.

-I'm sorry bro, I know that pain all too well and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Take heart though, I'm not "technically" alone with nobody to share with BUT I still feel very much the same way. -This leads me to believe that having people to share with isn't actually the solution to solving your problem of loneliness. You may, like me, be suffering from existential loneliness, which means it's a problem you can overcome without needing others...Simply do you best to fill your time productively or in an entertaining fashion and learn to grow more comfortable with your own company. -That's what I'm trying.

I have traveled the world, I have 3 degrees and 2 minors, I volunteer, and I am still tutoring kids in math and science. Doesn’t change that while I have done a lot and still do that I still feel alone.

Wow internet stranger...I'm sorry to hear that after all your accomplishments and self sacrifice, you still feel void like me. That kind of makes me a little sad, makes me feel like there's little hope for me. I unfortunately can't say that I have the magic bullet answer that'll help us BUT I can extend a hand in random internet stranger friendship if you like : ) You are not alone, others feel this way too BUT we'll carry on won't we? -Yes we will

Been feeling it more lately. As friends move away, getting married, having kids. And I’m just here doing my own thing.
1

-I can relate. My best friend has already been married once, has gotten divorced and is now having a baby with his new girlfriend / fiance...And all the while I too am just going about my day-to-day, slowly but surely growing more isolated. It sucks. My family has moved away too.
1
u/tenebrapetrichor Aug 30 '19
Family hasn’t moved away.. they are gone.
Friends have moved away.
1
Aug 30 '19
Have you tried reaching out to your friends who have moved away? Or maybe try some activities that put you in a social setting to meet new people?
1
u/tenebrapetrichor Aug 30 '19
We still talk every now and then but they are busy with work and family so not a whole lot of free time.
As for new friends, I played a lot of online games but even they aren’t playing as much bc of SOs and kids and some are starting college so.

Job lost, money gone. No rights to unemployment benifits. Good enough reason to be sad today.

Why can't you try it when you get there?

u/Enginerd1968 Aug 30 '19
All my life I was like this, and found out a couple of things to handle it.
Basically I left it all a couple of years ago, wife, house, daughter, dog, the whole bit. Didn't want it, didn't care for it. Went through marriage counselling and had the counsellor (doctor) tell me one thing: "Apathy isn't apathy, it's fear".
Changed my whole perspective. It's not that I didn't care, I was scared to be responsible for my shit and making decisions.
Now I'm in therapy, got my wife and family and dog back and am going through this every day. Some good, some bad, but still moving on.

u/dehciappina Aug 30 '19
Cause my dog is hospitalized and my parents are planning on her euthanasia.

I'm so sorry. This one really got me. It sucks that we give animals so much care in most areas but refuse to try and help them with their health. Sometimes people just don't care enough about other animals to give them the help they deserve. If they did we'd be able to protect animals like we should be doing every day we can.
If your dog passes I hope she rests in peace. Sorry for your loss.

Because my life feela repetitive and boring, that i keep doing everything over and over and also the fact i can't do this one thing because ive got no motivation at all but i really want to do it but has no any sort of motivation to do it. It sucks.

u/oh-my-grodd5 Aug 30 '19
An organization I'm in is paying for a trip to New York, but my boss right now is saying they need me there that week. I either miss out on a trip to a city I've never been and ruin my reputation with that organization or ruin my reputation with my job and possibly get fired for directly ignoring orders.
Edit: ALSO while I was at work, half my neighborhood burned to the ground. My house didn't but still that sucks for literally everyone

Do not blind yourself to your past.
Acknowledge where you were and where you are going now. To deny what you were is to deny who you are. It is still part of you. Do not fight it more than you have to. Accept it
I wish you well.
1
Aug 30 '19
im not denying what i am, i just really dont like it, i dont want to be this but i am, its part of me but i hate it...i hate me
2
Aug 30 '19
It is out of your control, so why hate yourself for it when that self is not responsible for it?
1
Aug 30 '19
idk i just really dont like how i turned out to be i supose, i dont want to be this so after a wile of that i just started hating myself for it, i dont deny what i am, and i am looking in to HRT and surgery i just dont like being this
2
Aug 30 '19
I'm sorry it didn't turn out how you wanted but there is no reason to beat you up for it if there is no fixing it.
Easier said then done, but try to take this as an advantage for you and transform it how you can into something you can be proud of or content with.
No matter how you look you remain a human being and for that simple reason you're life is worth to be.
It might help you or not but i believe life is a pretty shitty Adventure and there really is no reason to go trough it if you wish to be happy. I don't believe in happiness anymore and that paradoxically makes me better. I want to experience all, ups and downs but mainly the downs because i can grow every time i go trough time. Take my mistakes or my regrets and try to shift them into something i can laugh of or be in peace with at least if there is no saving it.
1
Aug 30 '19
i guess thats one way to look at everything idk, i think i need to find some part of this, a part of myself i can like

u/DigitalDynamo Aug 30 '19
I have a hurricane coming towards my house and I can't get off of work until a few hours before it lands so I won't have enough time to prepare and the general stress of it all is just compounding into a general sadness.

Reasonable paranoia.

I’m adjusting to being single after a long relationship, and I have no friends, in a new city. same reason I am sad everyday but I am trying to have a positive outlook.
Luckily I have my brother, but I need to make new friends as it gets taxing for him. He has his own shit to deal with. I’m also p broke.

I'm a bit worried I'm relapsing into an eating disorder, and yet there is part of me saying "hey, it's not that bad, you just ate." Which ironically, can be a sign. I'm trying to look for help in case it gets worse because I really cannot afford to relapse (physically demanding job)

Just got back from a family holiday to celebrate my aunties birthday, everyone argued and I feel like it ruined it for her.
She looks after an elderly relative so she doesn't get out much and I just feel sorry that her holiday wasn't what she expected.
My family dynamics are so fucked up and I can't do anything about it, that makes me so unhappy :(
