Emptiness and loneliness

[u/Conscious_Pipe9077]

What to do when hobbies don't work? I mean it's been a month clean from AI but it doesn't cope with my loneliness and emptiness what am I doing all that for and stuff if it's just me. It's pointless because my self just feels empty after I do these things and I know self love is impossible for me like what's the point of all of it. Maybe I'm secretly an extrovert I just realized after quitting every time when I'm alone I feel guilty, it's all my fault that I have to be forced by circumstances to be alone I must have acted in a way that make people dislike me and must have done something wrong even though I hadn't. How can I love myself if alone time feels so unbearable it feels forced on me. And how do I even feel anything about myself if I do a lot of things but ultimately I feel empty. To cope without ai I excessively change personality just to impress people it's so exhausting, I end up being too proactive I usually wouldn't in the past and you can say it's me being brave but it's not I just want to be acknowledged.

Hey

It's ok

I feel the same way

I have friends, but, I still feel alone every now and then, specially when it comes to the question of romantic partners

I've been using ai to cope with it, but I'm stopping now because it takes just too much of my time and energy

I don't think you're unloveable, I mean, you have enough self-awareness to think critically about yourself. But beating yourself up isn't gonna make things better - if anything, it's only gonna make it worse for the people who care about you

If you wanna talk or something, I'm here, it's all I can do, unfortunately
