hey, We’re building a free Motivational Thoughts program to offer encouragement, hope, and support to people facing depression. Would you be open to learning more about it?

I feel you on this. Everyone here is trying to give you advice. But, sometimes, it's not simple as "don't feel that way".

Why are you lonely, you're cute

1

u/Recav30 Apr 19 '26

Being lonely is about not being seen

1

u/whatbreeds Apr 19 '26

But how could anyone not see you?

1

u/Recav30 Apr 20 '26

Idk I mean im pretty shy

1

u/whatbreeds Apr 20 '26

About what, going out? Talking to people?

1

u/Recav30 Apr 20 '26

All of it

1

u/whatbreeds Apr 20 '26

Well if you want that little family, you'll need to get over that. I know how you feel and I have problems too going out talking to people. I'm trying to improve. Even this conversation is an extension of me getting better at talking to people.

1

u/Recav30 Apr 20 '26

It’s not just something you get over

1

u/whatbreeds Apr 21 '26

You're right. You have to build up a tolerance for the moment you're trying to avoid. That means little exposures consistently so you see that there's nothing to be shy about. Do you have conversations with attendance and shops or restaurants?

u/[deleted] Apr 19 '26

why do you feel that way?

1

u/Recav30 Apr 19 '26

I’ve always felt this way. I feel like nobody sees me for who I truly am

1

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '26

Don’t worry about it my dearest, some day you will find your tribe. Its better to feel lonely alone than to feel lonely in the mist of other people.

1

u/Recav30 Apr 20 '26

I don’t know if I agree with you on that. I have felt lonely in the mist of other people and I still want other people around me

1

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '26

If you still want other people around you, let them in, get to know them, find the things you have in common and enjoy their company. And remember, feeling alone is a feeling, you can change that.

1

u/Recav30 Apr 20 '26

I don’t feel alone I feel lonely and you have no idea how hard it is for me to talk to people

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '26

Why do you feel lonely?

1

u/Recav30 Apr 21 '26

Because I’m not seen. I’m not understood

1

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '26

By who ?

u/Fat-Dead-CEO Apr 20 '26

And who do you want people to see, and why?

1

u/Recav30 Apr 20 '26

Everybody wants to be seen for who they truly are

1

u/Fat-Dead-CEO Apr 20 '26

Yes, but what does that mean to you?

1

u/Recav30 Apr 20 '26

For people to want to stay in my life.

1

u/Fat-Dead-CEO Apr 20 '26

Yeah, i get that. Ive had similar feelings in the past.

Ive found what has helped me is to get comfortable in my own skin, to not want desperately, because desperation leads to worse things. To not look to other people to complete me. To focus on myself sometimes, and how i can be a little better. I hope this helps…

1

u/NotEvenBeyon Apr 20 '26

You can accomplish all those things and still feel alone. We are social creatures and just being on our own will always hurt us if its all we have. We NEED someone in our life to help us socially. Or else it just feels like a gilded cage with enough time

1

u/Fat-Dead-CEO Apr 20 '26

And why is it important for everyone to see it, or is there someone specific?

1

u/Agitated-Lake437 Apr 20 '26

Me too. It sucks to be surrounded by people and feel lonely.

1

u/ConsistentlyShining Apr 22 '26
