• Hey Guest,

    We wanted to share a quick update with the community.

    Our public expense ledger is now live, allowing anyone to see how donations are used to support the ongoing operation of the site.

    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

    Donate via cryptocurrency:

I have an advanced degree (Master's in a STEM subject), I come from a relatively wealthy family, have no disabilities and am not part of a supressed minority. Yet, I cannot shake the feeling my presence is unwanted.

I am rejected from every job I apply to. I try to make friends, make an active and conscious effort to maintain existing friendships, but I am always - ALWAYS - alone. My parents do not care for me outside of what I can do for them, and the achievements they keep stealing from me. I am denied health resources, because therapists in my part of the world REFUSE to work with clients that are open about their suicidal ideation.

All I can do is sit on my ass all day and rot.

I hate this place because it hated me first.

I am sorry that the people around you are being dismissive :(( i dont think that its a 'You' problem. i mostly tell myself that how people act towards me is a reflection of their personality and insecurities and that it doesnt have to do anything with my worth. this mindset personally helped me a little.

I totally got you ...it's awful , i live the same , same , same exact situation except for the advanced degree ... i mean maybe , oh I feel this is strange but if you feel like it ; we can try to keep in touch and know eachother ..Now I'm so afraid to be labelled as psycho. I cannot deny I'd like to have a chat with you , and both could kinda look for eachother on a daily basis, you could feel less lonely and hopefully me too. ; I hope to find a good person to bond with yet opportunities are rare . . .I'd like you to give it a shot ). I'm sorry , I know I'm quite a lot to bear, I'm straiforward , maybe too fast in asking this, you don't even know me , It's because i desire to be wanted too and it has gone like this for my entire life ... I lost hope in someone actually craving me (i'm crying , again). oh i know how it will go ...laughed at again and rejected ...again ...I'm sorry , for real , i don't want to disturb anyone . . . forgive me.

If people don't appreciate your presence then it is their problem, don't let them make it into yours. I am more than certain that there are many, many people who would love and appreciate your presence!! Don't give up, you will find them!
