Loneliness Megathread

[tooBadTooLate]

It's really demanding for me to keep in touch with people who I can't get close to emotionally—and that applies to people whose contacts I've gotten over the years. Just sitting in there, probably gathering digital dust in my phone. I remember calling someone whom I got their phone number the day before, only for it not to go through. What a shame. He said that I was a very interesting person to talk to on that day. Sure, I bet he was busy at the time, but God damn it there goes a chance for someone I might've formed a decent bond with.

I told a few people about my thoughts. Their responses sucked so I stopped. I have a few friends but my ex was my best friend. Family, never again since last time I opened up years ago. I haven't told anyone about my thoughts from the depressive episode I'm currently in. I don't want to talk to a therapist because they either disappoint or overreact. Are they gonna cure my ADHD? Get me a job? Keep me that job? Get someone to love me? Have that person stay? Yeah don't think so. So I need to just make up my mind. Either do it or shut up about it.
Fuck "you're not alone." Yes I am.
