What are your hobbies? What are some of your non self-destructive coping mechanisms?
I wish I was more like u lol! I'm a lazy typeWork is the best coping mechanism for me. When I am at work I forget how miserable I am. So, even though I should be on disability, I get myself to work every day because the day I stop doing that that, it all ends for me.

That's really tough to feel so lonely I'm so sorry that's how you feel. It can be really hard to foster relationships especially if you are wary of being clingy. I'm isolated through illness and find myself alone. Ironically I've become more gregarious as I've gotten older just through sheer practice.I'm asking mostly because I'm out of ideas. I used to be very curious and to want to try many things. Now, I have no motivation, or desire to do anything. I used to enjoy music, watching movies, cooking, studying; I had interest in several hobbies like drawing, sculpting, sewing... As time passed, everything got so boring to a point it's annoying to do any of these. I just can't stand it. It seems that everyday I lose a little bit of anything that sparked joy.
The only hobby that I managed to keep was reading. It actually distracts me from my shitty life without pissing me off. This and chatting with people. I believe this is because I feel incredibly lonely and abandoned. Listening to stories (fictitious or not) kinda make me feel a part of society, make me feel connected to other people, instead of an outcast. Unfortunately, I'm losing this too. I no longer chat online like I used to. I'm more lonely than ever. I interact with people in real life, but can't build any meaningful, serious relationship. And this loneliness makes me cling on others like my life depend on it.
I have only one person I can call friend. I met him online, never in person. We've been chatting for a year. The problem is that it's not consistent, he answers me as he pleases. I know he has mental issues too. But knowing I'm the only one craving human interaction to the point of desperation saddens me. I also met a dude almost a year ago. We've been seeing each other since then and I don't really know if we're dating or not. The thing is: in the beginning he was super attentive, we spent a lot of time together, he made efforts to reach out to me, but now it seems this is fading too.
I don't know what to do. I don't wanna be clingy. I wanna be busy with other stuffs, let people free and don't emotionally suffocate them with my needs. But it seems almost impossible cause I can't do anything else. I feel so empty, so uninteresting, shallow.
Yea I had no idea I'm gonna be so boring one day. Like little interest in everything. I think it's partly because I became bitter about life.Shower. I shower a lot. It's the only place where I can just forget for a while. I love the feeling of warm water. I used to have actual hobbies but nothing interests me anymore.
Right? I used to be able to take part in a range of things even when depressed...video games, sports, reading, writing... now I can't even bring myself to make an attempt to do any of these things. Nothing manages to distract me for long enough for me to stay focused.Yea I had no idea I'm gonna be so boring one day. Like kids of interest in everything.
