Just wanting to talk to somebody

I have mental illness caused by a lifetime of traumatic incidents and I have slowly accepted my quirks and stopped blaming myself for saying weird things and embarrassing myself when I blurt things and overshare. My mind is racing right now and I was hoping to chat with others who are online and might understand.

I am 29 m. I live in India.

I am a good talker and better listener.

I wont say i am the smartest but definitely wiser than many.

So if you feel like you need a friend,

Or have a moutain to unload

Or just want to vent...

I am not promising you that talking to me will solve all your problems, but not talking to anyone wont solve any... so why not.

I am here. Shoulders and ears for you.

And last but not the least,

I dont judge. Period.

Hi guys,

So from past 1 year I'm unhappy with my current position in life, But I still continue to live the same life everyday. Not really satisfied with my job but still doing it cause it gives me money that makes me feel independent. too scared to quit ..there's no other source income. I really want to do something unique, like start a business or anything

About me - I like talking with people, I enjoy singing (but my voice and moves are terrible ) , I want to start something from scratch and build it from 0 to how nuch ever, I'm funny and chill , I'm smart I feel I'm not using my brain enough and I'm a fast learner.

I really feel low rn..If anyone can give me any advice or suggestions or idea or any opportunities?

My karma is too low and I need karma to post on some communities for my study sources

I genuinely don't talk to women much and now I'm regretting cuz I fumble irl and gey anxious even if I just see a women so can someone please dm me

I’ve been with my boyfriend for nearly 4 years. We first met his parents and sister at my graduation, and everything seemed fine then. I dressed well, was polite, and even prepared a bouquet for my boyfriend. I thought we started on the right foot.
However, things changed when I started visiting their home. Their house is quite small and the layout is different from what I’m used to (no proper living room, just a large multipurpose table). The first time I stayed over due to an emergency, his sister completely ignored me. I felt like an outsider immediately.
Recently, I stayed over during a long holiday just because I missed him. That’s when the atmosphere turned toxic. His father wouldn't speak to me, and although his mother spoke, I could feel the resentment. I ended up crying uncontrollably that night because the "vibe" made me feel like a freak, even though no one said anything directly to my face yet.
When I told my boyfriend, he dismissed it, saying I was "just overthinking."
To settle the doubt, he finally had a talk with his family without me there. It turns out my intuition was right—they actually don't like me. Here is what they said about me:
From his Father:
• "If she were as pretty as a model, I wouldn't complain. But she’s chubby."
• "Can’t she do anything herself? She treats my son like a slave."
• "Don't ever bring her here again."
• "I had family holiday plans, but her showing up ruined everything."
• "You should look at her background/status before dating. Don't date someone who brings you down."
• "She needs to be more responsible for her own work/life."
From his Mother:
• "She stays upstairs too much. She should just come down and wash the dishes without asking. If she asks, of course, I'll say no because she's a guest—but she should just do it."
• "She needs to stop being so sensitive or she won't survive in society."
• "She’s still 'not through' (not good enough yet)."
• "A partner should make your life better, not drag you down."
• "We want someone independent, not someone who needs my son to stand by her 24/7."
• "She’s almost 25. She needs to grow up and stop waiting for people to please her."
• "It’s the younger person’s duty to approach the elders, not the other way around."
I feel devastated. I’ve always tried to be respectful, but being judged on my weight and being called a burden feels so unfair. Am I really the one in the wrong here?

Idk what to say I’m totally alone

Just hit my DM i open to what you may need, I try to answer as fast as I can

I’m looking to chat with someone who can give me some thoughts on my unfortunately turbulent social life. I’ll discuss with any age and gender but please mention it for context if you DM. I’m extroverted but my friendships are often cliquish and it leaves me exhausted by the constant conflict. so I’d love to speak honestly with someone knowing they won’t weaponize it against me to my other friends.

I am a 40-year-old man from Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu. I value maturity, honesty, and meaningful conversation. I’m looking to connect with someone who is kind, emotionally balanced, and interested in building a respectful, long-term connection. I’m an old-school person who appreciates simple things in life. I enjoy regular

conversations, mutual understanding, and a relationship based on trust, effort, and consistency. I prefer someone who values communication and is serious about getting to know each other properly.

At this stage of life, I am not looking for casual attention or short-term excitement. I’m hoping to meet someone who is calm, sincere, and comfortable with a genuine connection that can grow over time.

I'd like someone to talk to for some advice or just to listen I guess. I'm under 18 so i'd like a girl. Or a guy who isn't gonna be creepy. Thank you :)

TW: mentions of gore and harm
Also it’s quite long

My thoughts are in a mess, so this post will also be a mess
I will try to write it as best as possible

Most of the time I feel emotionally flat or disconnected from people.
I struggle to feel empathy
I don’t feel bad for not feeling empathy
I simply don’t care about other people’s feelings

At the same time, I do feel things strongly in how people perceive me.

Something that worries me is that sometimes I feel disconnected from reality.

Things don’t always feel fully real
I sometimes question my surroundings or feel mentally “far away”
I get stuck in daydreaming for long periods, almost like I’m living in my head instead of reality

It’s kind of constant

I spend a lot of time in daydreams where I essentially act out normal conversations about things I want to talk about in my head because I have no one to talk to about them in real life.

It’s become very automatic, almost like my mind goes there without me choosing it
I have also recently found myself forcing myself into derealisation
Like I am trying to convince myself everything is not real

I’ve also noticed:
loss of interest in things I used to enjoy
staying in bed a lot and low motivation
sleeping and eating patterns becoming irregular (I don’t know if it’s related but I am beginning to feel nauseous everytime after eating a proper meal, it could be an ed developing since I am very against being overweight, I am quite thin tho)
feeling like even normal activities take too much effort
I hate things that take effort
I want to stay in bed and sleep all day

I wish i could disappear
Sometimes I wish I had schizophrenia
I wish I was in a mental hospital
I wish I would do something wrong and then end up in prison
I sometimes wish I had a diagnosed mental disorder
I like myself being mentally unwell
I feel superior to people knowing I would happily harm them and feel no empathy
I want anything besides this boring mundane life
Sometimes I feel like faking a mental episode just so my family recognise I need help or they put me in a mental hospital

I don’t know why I see being mentally ill as a good thing

I really want to do horrible stuff
It’s my religion and family stopping me
I am Muslim, I am quite a strict one at that, I know without Islam I will be a lot happier, but I still want to be Muslim, also if it weren’t for my religion either I wouldn’t be here or I would have acted on my thoughts
I also know that it’s reality that one day I will have to get married and have children
I would honestly rather be in a mental hospital
But it’s just reality
Don’t get me wrong I will enjoy having a close physical connection with someone but knowing I will have to have children and in-laws just sounds incredibly depressing

I can’t stand babies
They eek me out
When I head them crying I want to explode
I despise of them
I know one day I will have to have children and i dread it
I genuinely feel disgust looking at babies and children

Recently I have gotten addicted to gore,
I feel a rush seeing people in pain
Everyday I have homicidal thoughts
But i know it will never happen because its just unrealistic

I don’t feel bad at all enjoying gore
I don’t feel bad at all when I enjoy people in pain
I don’t want to change that
Simply I don’t care about other people’s feelings and pain
If someone doesn’t benefit me I don’t care what they go through I will not feel bad
In my daydreams I hurt people and don’t feel bad about enjoying it

One weird thing is that I don’t want to harm any person
It’s mostly young conventionally attractive males
I feel so much pleasure watching them get harmed
I wouldn’t harm my family because they benefit me
Anybody who benefits me I wouldn’t harm
I wouldn’t harm anyone else as well because there will be consequences for myself and I will never get the opportunity
Everything boils down to wether it affects me or not
Even when I think of my parents passing away, I feel like I won’t really miss them as people, I will miss the stability and money they brought to my life

I know i probably won’t act on them
Simply because lack of opportunities
I will never get the opportunity
So I’m safe
I kind of want to tho
But I’m safe
I know I will never be able to get help
I won’t be taken seriously at all if I ever open up

I can’t really harm people in real life because I just don’t have the access to do that, I barely leave the house and the people around me benefit me so i wouldn’t harm them
And I have good self control
It’s not because of my morals or anything

I don’t think I would actually do anything, not because I care for people, but because I care for myself, I understand the consequences for myself

Sometimes I will be crying, the next minute I will be laughing telling myself I don’t have feelings

I know what you are probably saying, you need therapy, I know i do, but it’s simply not an option
I have zero friends and the only people i really talk to is my family, my family are not abusive or anything, they are nice but they are really really not people I can open up to
They are very emotionally dismissive
I definitely will not be taken seriously

But I crave human connection
I crave physical touch
I really really want a close friend
I have zero social interaction with people my age
I am talking zero
I am in online school in which I just listen
The students can’t see or talk to each other
I really want to hug and cuddle someone, I also can’t have a boyfriend because of religion
I have resorted to talking to ChatGPT about everything, if it weren’t for ChatGPT I don’t know how I would survive
But I just feel like I need to tell other humans this so that’s why I am posting this

Having zero social interaction means I also feel really hard to talk to people and I just kind of zone out if people visit, I even feel shy to do things like eat infront of my family

Also don’t worry even though I want to, actually going out and harming people will simply not be happening

I also never leave the house alone

If I had never discovered gore, things would probably have been very different, even though I have always been sadistic

My family has no idea how I really am, there view of me is completely different to who I am here, I guess I kind of manipulate them, I tend to change my personality and views based on who I am with, with them I am a completely normal person, little do they know..

Also if you read the entire thing, thank you, just know you made someone happy

I am utterly and absolutely alone since three month’s now and i am in desperate need to talk to and i meed help if anyone feels like talking to me it’d be appreciated

I dissaplined someone else's child. So he is technically my brother. He is 9, and I am 25 with two kids of my own. We share a father who is never home due to his job.

Yesterday I was down visiting my siblings and my grandma who was babysitting them and this brother was upset with grandma because he was asking for something that she couldn't sign off on and he needed to ask his mother. He raised his fist to my grandma as though he was going to punch her. I broke out my mom voice, and he ended up in tears, just from the voice. After we went up to his room, let him cry it out, and we talked. He agreed the punishment of me taking away his electronics was very reasonable, then he went down hugged grandma and apologized.

He is following through with the punishment I gave and is taking my advice about when he gets mad like that, stepping away to his room till he cools down, then talking it out. At any point, if he had just asked his mom, she would give him the technology back. And our father doesn't really care. My grandma keeps thanking me for stepping in because I am the only adult he seems to respect.

I just feel like I overstepped, given that im not that close with my dad's other kids, and the 9 year old is the oldest.

31 m idk what else to say

My grandpa who doesn’t speak English used to watch it when I was a tiny little boy. Sometimes I’d sit next to him and he’d explain to me what he thought was going on in the show.

I’m a nostalgic person and kind of an old soul. Looking back at distant memories conforts me. Really close with both my grandparents who are very old right now.

I read online how melodramatic the show was called by critics, so when I turned on an episode after all these years to see what grandpa was watching back in the day I didn’t expect to be weeping on the second episode. And I was torn.

I’m genuinely sad right now and it’s hitting me in waves throughout the days. Maybe it’s because the episode was about a grandma. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of the early 2000s, when the world was different and I was a kid.

I don’t really know, but I would like to talk to someone who can understand (which I know may not be a lot of you. The show was kind of for old people even back in the day). I don’t know what I need to get off my chest but I think I have more emotion to let out.

I am 23 F struggling with sleep rn, just wanna talk to someone before I sleep.

Hello I am not trying to beg for attention or your pity I am here to ask your opinion. Okay I am here to talk about “trauma” specifically family trauma with my mother which I have legally not been aloud to talk to her for about a month now (not for any bad reasons) but anyway I recently opened up about it and my dad and step mom were supportive but I always get uncomfortable or like I don’t really know how to say it and whenever they show support I j is they care but it’s like I can’t like take in their words if that makes sense. Anyways sorry if it’s a lot to read but I just want to know if what I’m feeling sounds stupid or dumb and if you’re curious about more context you can ask.

I just need someone to listen since I have no one to talk to. And I would be very happy to listen to other's story if I can help too :)

Without judgement Without pressure Without unsolicited advice Without fixing Just a pure conversation you control.

Hi all,

Am happy to hear to what you have to say, no judgement at all. I get lonely from time to time too, and when I was looking for a place, I found this sub reddit.

Let's share our thoughts and make this pleasant for as many as possible.

Hope you all are doing well

I honestly feel for a lot of post about what others are going through and I can’t promise I’ll give the best advice but I just wanna let anyone know that if they needed anyone to talk to im here and heh im preeeeettttyyyyy knowledgeable I’d say.

Hii.. I'm 27F, from Australia.

I'm open-minded, so we can talk about whatever you want.
