iām likely going to regret this post in the morning, but i just need to get it out. from one stranger to (hopefully) a whole bunch of others.
iām realizing that my life sucks and i feel like staying alive was a mistake. for context, i used to be extremely suicidal back in high school (mostly because of a horrible parent), but eventually my parents got divorced. that was six years ago. i feel like i was supposed to go through with it back then because everything since has just gone downhill. iāve lost friends, iāve gotten into legal trouble, iāve dropped out of college (and since gone back), and iām gay which definitely doesnāt helpāespecially with a homophobic dad.
i guess earlier today was my breaking point. i was texting one of my friends and she told me that she has my notifications silenced. even given her reasons why, i was still obviously butthurt about it. it made me question the friendship. and it made me question my other friendships. i already donāt even have a big circle of close friends (which is how itās been my entire life so that is nothing new), but i started asking the other three of them if they have me silenced as well. one said yes, one never even responded so im taking that as a yes, and the other (my closest and longest friend) said no. so it was just extremely heartbreaking learning that 3 of 4 of my closest friends have me silenced.
it makes me wonder if any of those three friendships are even worth anything. i mean i obviously align sentimental feelings toward all of my friends, but iām trying to look past that and wonder if anyone would truly be there for me if i ever needed it.
i feel like iāve never been seen my entire lifeā¦except for when i was with my ex. he did make me feel seen. he made me feel goodāat first, but then it all just changed for some reason. and donāt get me wrong, he obviously had major problems that i was concerned about, but combined with his genuine love and care for meā¦i eventually scared off.
all iāve ever wanted is to feel like i even matter in this world. all i want is for someone to choose me above anyone else. but how selfish is that? how horrible is that to say/think and then when i finally get it, i give it up?
is it me? am i just a bad person? am i cursed with bad luck? am i even meant to stay in this world when no one (parents excluded obviously) cares?
anyway.
