Discussion We Are the Lonely Ones

[Thinking]

I've never been good at making friends no matter how hard I try. Everyone just seems disinterested in me.

maybe im just lying to myself but nurturing and keeping the friendships alive is the hard part for me.. why would someone be friends with me when i cant offer anything, except some cynical jokes and talk about ctb haha..

It's never been hard for me to make friends. I just get too addicted to isolation and stop wanting any.

The vast majority of people are on a path to live life in some way or another, it's very hard to connect when I'm trying to do the opposite, conversations often turn out awkward and it's impossible to relate to one another so I gave up completely. The only people I feel comfortable talking to anymore are people on this forum, as I will not receive any low effort "there's so much to live for!"-esque comments thrown back at me for expressing why I want to die.

That's probably the only time that sentence has made me laugh

I don't even bother anymore, making more friends mean more people involved when I ctb.

Some of us want to disappear silently. I don't need me cbting to effect more people than it has to. Im concerned enough for the people that would be involved so why add more to that pool.

Is easy for me to interact with people but it feels like is too much to work. I feel I need to have a common goal with them or goal to achieve with that friendship. I feel that I overdo it at times and try to sustain the friendship by myself.
I get drained and depressed after that.
I feel like I don't fit in.
And I stopped trying.

I have a hard time maintaining connections with others. I'd say I have friends but they're more like acquaintances because I'm such a non-entity. We are lonely together mon ami.

I used to try to make friends. Now I know that I'm better off without any.

I've always had trouble making friends on my own. If I try making the first move and introduce myself it usually doesn't end well, and I go away feeling down. But on the other hand if it's the other way around, and somebody else approaches me first, we usually become friends... If they like me of course. And that's the problem: I can't seem to find many people who like my character/personality enough to want to approach me in the first place; where I live there aren't many who are the same "type" as me. There were a small few years back who liked me; I would, or did, consider them True Friends. Unfortunately after 10 years we've slowly drifted apart; some have moved on and some just don't like me anymore. Maybe it was my fault? Or maybe it wasn't - I don't know.

All that I do know is this: Friendship is like life - it's temporary.
