Hi 👋, I'm 20 nb living in the Eastern U.S.

I joined this site a year or so ago for a place to find community with people also struggling. I really enjoy meeting people who I know get it at least on some level where as most people simply wouldn't

I really enjoy black coffee, playing guitar (electric & acoustic), writing poetry, reading philosophy/classical works, watching anime and reading manga, playing video games (more so single player story driven ones like niche RPG Maker games), and listening to most forms of trauma related and or calming music

Some of my vices include things like vodka (Grey Goose is my favorite), Marlborough Reds, the occasional sh session (cutting usually), and checking the scale obsessively despite being underweight

Considering attempting to ctb for the second time but not set on anything definitive

Feel free to reach out, I'm always open for a chat ^_^

I don't know how to delete my previous posts, but this update removes the strict requirements regarding values and beliefs

18 years old, cisgender female
favorite character: Anton Chigurh, Tyler Durden
Used to be passionate about literature and philosophy, loved reading science fiction novels and watching sci-fi films. I did all that to improve my creative writing ability. Due to certain upheavals, I've had to give up these interests, but I've always held a deep, gnawing attachment to them, which to some degree reflects my personality.

I'm this kind of person:pro-LGBTQ+, pro-suicide, the opposite of a patriot, a radical anti-natalist extremist, the kind who wants to ****(A verb that looks scary) every single person who voluntarily reproduces and everyone who supports reproduction.

How long I can accompany you is also hard to say; I might suicide soon. If you want to go together with me, that would be even better.

Below is a piece of garbage fiction I wrote. It might only help you understand my personality, because it truly holds no literary value.

laoda, while I was washing dishes, I came up with this story! I imagined that my autobiography would contain a dream sequence like this (it has to correspond to my experiences, so if taken out of context it might seem rather obscure). An officer meets a prisoner of war in a POW camp. While talking with the prisoner, the officer senses his great literary talent and saves him. He tells the prisoner, "From now on, your sole purpose in living is to write. If you don't write, I will kill you." The prisoner is fairly willing at heart, so he writes. One day, the prisoner falls and hits his head, and from then on loses his ability to write. The officer orders a subordinate to give him a bottle of poison, instructing the subordinate to kill him with poison regardless of whether he chooses to take his own life with it, and to tell neither the prisoner that his death is inevitable nor the officer how he actually died. Two months later, the officer comes to visit the prisoner's grave. He thinks to himself that he hopes the prisoner died because he lost his ability to write—so that he would have died for his dream. The officer finds that very beautiful and doesn't want to know the real cause of the prisoner's death. He lays a bouquet of flowers on the grave and then leaves.

What this story tries to express is, first, that after my cognitive impairment, I had this feeling that I had to die. That sense of urgency and obligation to die turned into an external force, just like how if the prisoner could no longer write, the officer would kill him. Then, whether the prisoner drinks the poison himself or is killed by the soldier—a force of inevitability—is a metaphor for whether I die for my dream or because I can't live a normal life (because dying for not being able to live a normal life is simply an inevitability, something anyone would do; right now, I'm dying because I can't live a normal life, not for my dream. To me, this robs it of much sublimity, whereas I feel dying for a dream is sublime). The officer hopes the prisoner died for his dream, which he would find beautiful, so he deliberately doesn't clarify the prisoner's true cause of death. This corresponds to how, in reality, I also have this feeling of not wanting to tell the difference. Actually, before I clearly figured out that logical problem I mentioned earlier, I was half-believing that my death was for my dream, but I still didn't dig deeper. Yet now, having figured out that my death isn't for my dream, it feels really stupid. Writing this plot now, I sort of want to explore: if one suspects that a certain beauty is merely an illusion, should one still investigate it deeply? Is it better to remain deceived for a lifetime, or to face the truth?

I'm so lonely I'm considering making a friend until the time comes to ctb - hopefully this year. I'm 36 soon so I think someone over 30 is for the best. nothing against young people but I don't think I can connect. I'm female and I lost a close friend recently. I guess I'm quite sensitive.

Hi everyone. I am 24y old dude, I love the 2000s aesthetics, music, gaming, culture...

I love art and it is what keeps me alive. I write,draw,code,film... I love it all.
I have recently moved to Japan and have no friends, it's been really hard adapting here but yeah, that's life I guess.
I like gaming a lot, but unfortunately most of the stuff I like is old/weird with no multiplayer. Morrowind, No One Lives Forever, Oblivion, Viewtiful Joe, Portal 2, Half-Life... I love these so very much.

I'd love to make new friends.

Hey all. I'm in my late 30s in the US. Queer, NB, ace. Very left leaning and into disability rights.

I'm severely disabled and chronically ill with degenerative conditions and a ton of pain and trauma. Also autistic and mentally ill. The medical stuff is the main thing that wrecks me. Currently bedbound.

No immediate plans but want to be able to talk about it generally and be able to be hopeless and depressed about things without pity, advice, or forced positivity. Most people can't hold space for me so that's why I come here. I'm happy to be there for others in return. I try to be empathetic and a good listener. Mutual support and engagement is awesome.

I enjoy deep convos but also like to talk about hobbies and nerdy things. Love music and TV. Making playlists. Used to be a writer and sort of still am.

Feel free to send a message if you think we might get along. Prefer Discord if we connect.

20s, male, US,

I've played a lot of games, I like anime (haven't watched much recently), I like listening to many different types of music, I've recently started writing poems daily just as a small hobby so I'm not doing literally nothing everyday. I would say I'm very open-minded and not judging. I'm down to talk about anything or play any games. I'm not really interested in anything specific. i just want to get to know people and experience new things.

21M, suffering in the army. been alienated my whole life, or maybe it's my fault.
-Body: sports, working out, eating healthy, challenging myself and pushing my limits (fasting, not sleeping, ect). Kind of hard to do those things at the moment but that's what I aspire to do in the end.
-Mind: reading, walking and thinking, conspiracies, old music/movies/tv show.
-Soul: nature, paranormal, occult, manifesting (trying to figure out how it really works).
I'll admit that I'm a weird dude, been told that my whole life by every person I talked to. Can't seem to find like minded people in real life, perhaps online is the next play. Currently struggling to find a purpose in life, something to dedicate my time to.

Hobbies are playing stardew valley on PC, calisthenics, and programming. I don't do any of these things right now because I'm depressed, but I hope to find some strength soon because I'm tired of living like that.
I'd like to find people with same interests.

Hello, I'm 18M, in South SF Bay Area.
Got bait and switched by life pretty hard this year. Enjoy JRPGs, Anime, and Music Production (DAW) but haven't really had much willpower to pursue anything lately. Fan of Drain Gang and late 90s - early 2000s rave music. Was a NEET for most of last year but I'm enrolled in college right now. Assburgers (though borderline) and ADHD, but haven't taken medication for a long time. Nominally I'm Hindu and have interest in religious, historical, anthropological topics. Fun Fact: recently got a Framework Laptop as a replacement for my old ThinkPad which broke and it works great, highly recommend (bit of a high price point though). Chill with anyone here, but meeting someone with a similar background would be cool (though obviously you don't have to be lol).

I feel anxious and a bit pathetic doing this. Much older than many of you. I should know better and be more 'grown-up'.

Battled dark blues from age sixish. Deathing thoughts are my familiar. Fed up. Today i went to a cafe just to use my voice to make an order. I spoke 11 words. That is the most I have said to an other, aloud, for a month or two.

I would love a friend or two to talk about stuff honestly. Not about my bleaks, but about art, books, music, views, bikes, music, running, design, museums, gardens. I have zero idea about games, computer or other.

And our minds and moods of course.

If any one fancies a chat, light or heavy, let me know. I try to listen very carefully to any whatever. Ask me anything. And thanks for 'listening'!

Hey, I am 22F from Germany. I am just doing really really bad recently.

I started making serious plans recently for August, hopefully for real this time. I just want someone to talk to about everything without hearing "I am worried", "Don't do it", etc. I am so sick of hearing that, I am literally unable to seriously talk to anyone about my plans and it really sucks keeping everything inside.

I've posted several posts in this thread before, there I've explained more about my situations, I don't have any energy to write a full introduction text right now, I apologise.

I hope I'll be meeting some new people and thanks to anyone for reading this!

Yo! I'm a woman from the US, early 30s. Looking for specifically other women with whom to discuss, ideally, female-centric stories we both are interested in: Books, anime, games, movies, etc.. I'm into Genshin Impact these days, always anime. I am judgemental as hell. In friends, I most value and require communication skills, honesty, creativity, and comedy. And obviously we both want to die so we have that in common and don't need to hedge around it. If you think we could get along, do please hmu!

Not much to really say, im completely hopeless, unemployed, dont really enjoy anything except talking to people in messages or calls if i get along with them, own a noose, was going to hang myself when my best friend left me for a random girl he only just met but turned out to be too scared so I probably wont die, talking to 2 people currently in a small groupchat but its not the same, dont really have much special going on or anything to note, I dont know if ill be a good friend right now since its been 23 days since they left
Hey man I'm the same age as you. From South east England. If you want to get to know each other I'd be down.

I primarily try to make as much music as I can. That's kind of it. I game a lot

Yeah I am quite the same, on the dole and what not. Connecting to my one friend is really the only thing keeping me going 😂.

I've considered suicide multiple times and was going to use the carbon monoxide method early this year but I pussied out. Don't go out much anymore

I wish I had a gun and get it over with. I hate all these shitty convoluted methods.
Only thing is if I did have a gun, I'd need to feel like I've made all the music I've been wanting to make

I used to want to pursue graphic design even I was younger and always sketched wicked stuff out in my notebook. I wouldn't say I like art much anymore, I don't feel joy from it. I make a lot of music but it's mainly a method for me to channel my pain into something tangible rather than wallowing in self-pity, not much of a hobby but just a thing you do.

This corresponds to how, in reality, I also have this feeling of not wanting to tell the difference. Actually, before I clearly figured out that logical problem I mentioned earlier, I was half-believing that my death was for my dream, but I still didn't dig deeper. Yet now, having figured out that my death isn't for my dream, it feels really stupid. Writing this plot now, I sort of want to explore: if one suspects that a certain beauty is merely an illusion, should one still investigate it deeply? Is it better to remain deceived for a lifetime, or to face the truth?
Damn you seem smart

Hi, I'm 20M from England.

I've got autism and C-PTSD. Usually I just stay indoors. I wouldn't say I'm shy but definitely socially atypical. I don't go out much so I usually just stay indoors making songs and playing games in my PlayStation.

Before I was an indoor cat, I usually just went out a lot but it was usually with a goal in end like collecting something from FB Marketplace or something to give myself plans. But it was always about the journey than the destination

Interested in making some friends, preferably from England too but I don't mind tbh.

I don't like this word but I sort of have "trust issues", I don't know how to explain it but I find friendships rather uncomfortable so I have been trying to consciously be more 'genuinely' open in getting to know others, as I often looked like I don't care about them when I did.

I'm NEET at the moment, was an electrician but didn't work out due to circumstances out of my control. Might pursue music in college but I don't consider music that interesting. It's more to channel my energy than a hobby really, but it's something to do.

I'm quite laidback or stiff on the outside but quite mentally turbulent. Most of my anxiety just comes from how much I don't fit in. I don't feel scared of talking to people tho.

In terms of CTB. I do feel like I should do it. I don't necessarily want to but if I decide I won't do it then I'll have to live with my past decisions with people I can't make up with.

If you're down to chat, that's calm lmk. I don't talk about suicide much outside of this forum as it is quite exhausting to talk about.

i'm profoundly lonely most of the time and need someone to talk to. (also don't have access to PMS but conversations work too)
