I feel that. All except the old friendships cause I was raised military, went military, never stayed anywhere very long. I imagine u might even have it more challenging. Hang in there, don't despair, you've got this bunch of pervssexual interests + covid + old enough that friendships and dating take alot of work... yep im hella lonely right now
I'm sick of introspection, all it leads to is me blaming myself for everything.I'm sure there are others who feel this way. Like you are not alone. I don't think it's insanity, but your circumstance requires some introspective thought.
Say, for instance, that a friend of yours confided to you something similar to what you said. What might you say to them to be helpful? That would be a good place to start to uncover why you are doing what seemingly is in contradiction to what you desire.
(And, yes, I have been in that place, too)
Aside from waifu cuddling those first two are actually part of my plan. Keep getting healthier, keep building rank and skills so I don't have to stress over constant bullshit anymore. I look forward to having my own place soon or at least a roommate that isn't so stuck to the past that they refuse to grow as a person.Go to the gym more often, try to get a promotion, talk and cuddle your waifu some more. You'll feel better, trust me OP.
Good to hear dude. Get that bread, get those gains.Aside from waifu cuddling those first two are actually part of my plan.

How does replying to something honestly, count as being dismissive?I'm glad you are dismissive of a serious answer to a serious question. It tells me a lot.
"I'm tired of introspection, all it leads to is me blaming myself." If you are lonely, and really want to do something about it... it's up to you. If you want to get fit, it's up to you. What I'm trying to say, is that if you are lonely and don't have any friends, it's up to you to figure out why, and do something to change.How does replying to something honestly, count as being dismissive?
You'll have to forgive me if I have no interest looking inward after Ive opened my eyes to the fact that the thing holding me back in life, for once, was not me."I'm tired of introspection, all it leads to is me blaming myself." If you are lonely, and really want to do something about it... it's up to you. If you want to get fit, it's up to you.

And you can choose to be honest without feeling guilty. 8 years ago I finally realized that the only reason I didn't have success with losing weight is that I ate too much. I went on a diet that was medically supervised... and yes it was a big pain in the ass getting to the doctor each week.
I'm not fishing for compliments. I only wanted to point out that I got so tired of buying bigger clothes, and taking more and more insulin to sort of control my diabetes, that I finally said to myself...I can do this. I never beat myself up over not being successful before, but I needed to be honest with myself. I did 3 things... I went on the diet, I started to work with a physical trainer, to build up my strength and stamina, and I found a counselor to help me with some of the things that were unbalanced in my life.
The biggest word you used was "blame." You don't have to feel guilty, but if you are lonely you are contributing to that. Being honest isn't the only factor in communication... being polite is, using manners is. How about if you said, "yes, I know that I need to look within myself, but when I've done that before, I just end up feeling guilty".
I was offering a suggestion... which is what I thought you were asking. Your blunt response, even though it was honest, cut off further conversation. That's being dismissive.
If you want to chat, because you are looking for a way to change that, then chat. Otherwise, I won't comment anymore on what you post, and we can go our separate ways.
You and I should form a club for those of us who are in this situation.I dunno if it's my age, my sexual interests, my complete loss of all interest in the things I used to love or my personality, but I feel like all I do is distance myself and push people away when all I want is to connect.
Anyone else feeling like this or am I just going insane on my own?
You're not alone. I've felt this way for a while.I dunno if it's my age, my sexual interests, my complete loss of all interest in the things I used to love or my personality, but I feel like all I do is distance myself and push people away when all I want is to connect.

I used to really like to socialize online and make friends but sometimes disappointing a person and the subsequent block sends me into a depressive spiral
I stopped caring about others options and such along time ago. Why should you take others feelings into account when you're the last thought on their mind.You're both right. Honestly losing my vehicle has had a huge impact on my socializing. I used to go out, talk, was eager to explore. Now I don't even want to get to know anyone because I can't hang out with them like an actual adult.
It is an annoying pain in the ass but I'll get past it soon as I can. I miss real conversation, I'm so fucking awkward now.
Start working out and get a hobby. Don't rely on others for happiness.I used to be really really lonely until I found this site. But it’s only a matter of time until I get lonely again. Hate how my brain works.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. The pandemic has made a lot of my friendships dwindle down and grow apart, it’s taken work on both ends to get in the habit of reconnecting and socializing more.. I know it can feel like a chore but I also know it’s good for me and my mental health. I don’t know about you but where I live I always get more down in the colder darker months so now it’s getting nicer out that also helps make it easier to come out of hibernation. You’re definitely not alone!I dunno if it's my age, my sexual interests, my complete loss of all interest in the things I used to love or my personality, but I feel like all I do is distance myself and push people away when all I want is to connect.

God i felt that man...I dunno if it's my age, my sexual interests, my complete loss of all interest in the things I used to love or my personality, but I feel like all I do is distance myself and push people away when all I want is to connect.

Just having difficulty in what’s happening in the world or like Amber Heard looney tunes?Alone. Perhaps a little insane.
