I’m new to this app and loneliness led me there. I’ve been feeling so Hmmm so heavily alone lately and again o just woke up from a bad dream. I just wish I had someone or support and it really hurts that I don’t
Welcome! I hear ya’, really…
There’s a lot of us around here who can relate, to be honest, so you’re in the right place. I don’t know what I could say to lessen your loneliness, as I can barely figure mine out, but posting here every now and again has helped me in that regard.
Keep posting, let it all out. Really. If nothing else, I promise you you will be seen by a lot of kind souls. And I’m sure others have a lot more pertinent things to add than I do.
Tysm that means a lot
You’re very welcome! We gotta stick together as much as possible, even if just as text on a screen!
You’re not alone, it’s just that we’re all separate by invisible barriers, sometimes natural, like time and space, but not of them artificial, like money and walls and institutions and jobs.
We were never meant to live this isolated, none of us. Humankind has always been a community effort, and today our loneliness is a tool for our predators. It might not be a cheerful thing to read, but to me, knowing that this loneliness is a shackle to hold our power, from people that KNOW and fear we are always one step from realizing what is being taken from us, fills me with determination and a twisted sense of pride. At the very least, it makes the feeling of being completely responsible for my sadness go away
You’re right
