im so lonely

[hereandthere13]

i cant even watch tv shows because i get attached to certain characters, usually father-type figures, or people around my age i could see myself being friends with. i also get sad watching dramas centered around a job like in an office or medical center because it makes me feel unaccomplished. im tired of crying alone

the pitt is a big one (where my pfp is from). a medical drama that takes place in the ER, extremely likable characters, older doctors/nurses with huge hearts, some who have similar traumas to me. you see my point. i spent an hour crying in my bathroom cus of an edit i saw on fucking tiktok lmao

I'm really sorry to hear, but I understand you entirely. Loneliness and isolation hurts- feeling like you've missed out on certain milestones or life experiences that seem so normal to other people. Is it kind of just a feeling of longing for something you haven't had? Or just wishing those archetypes were playing an active role in your life? Or is it a bit of both?

I feel the same way. I really love romance shows but my life has been one love rejection after another. The shows make me feel lonely and sick to my stomach. I can't stop watching them though. It's so depressing. I'm sorry you feel that too. The aching pit you get from it is the absolute worst.
