Despite it all
| Of course you would, you're a bitter incel that rages about politics on an anonymous textboard.
| My boss has been pushing AI a bunch recently and I really just want him to tone it down a lil it's very depressing. US politics really isn't helping either, I really feel for the people down there at the moment. The only person ive had close to a crush on in the past 4 years is AroAce and I'd love to ask them out just to get a solid no but I can't even do that - I've known them for 2 years and I think asking them out at this point might make them more depressed in the world.
| Idk despite it all I still have hope but I don't have anything to hope for really
| I recommend try to connect with others more.
You can do it online (social media, vrchat, etc), but I advise you to do it irl, go to a meet up for hobbies and interests that you like, and so on.
If you're not feeling like it, you should at least honestly try to be at peace with yourself, with solitude and with your presence. Read and seek philosophy, practice yoga/ find any method that brings you more peace.
| People are more lonely than ever now.
It is hard, but make the effort to connect with others.
| A lot of the hobbies I have are ones that I enjoy more alone, or are niche enough that a community around them would be hard to find. I'll keep trying I suppose.
Honestly I'm unsure I'll be able to make more friends after this - my friends didn't really do anything wrong but talking to them over the past few months made me realize that I just inherently might not understand how they feel in certain situations and vice versa.
| I think people underestimate how much empathy comes from inherently understanding someone by relating them to yourself in some way. That's not to say you need to have something in common with someone to empathize with them, but it gets a lot harder when what they want is fundamentally different from what you would want in the same situation.

I don't really want to *replace* the friends I have now either I just want to pretend like I can trust them to understand how I feel and understand how they feel more
| I found a different group of people through social media and also did therapy which gave me someone to talk to honestly which helped a lot. Sending hugs gurl
| Thanks
| I've been thinking of therapy for a while but honestly I know less people irl who have had good experiences with it than who have been kinda fucked by it, in some way. It feels high risk low reward.
| I don't think you're lying when you say it really did help you out. It's just hard when a few very close people to me have been burned by it yknow.
| Just watch fight club and taxi driver, the main characters are literally me.

This is so fucked up but true. Easier said than done but reaching out to more people is probably the key to betterment and safety. I'm starting therapy soon too and it took me years to get it.
| "friends" "social groups" gtfo g/u/rl you have more than most
I would kill and wear your skin to be in your role, to have people to talk to
alas I am stone cold
Fuck my stupid baka life
| They don't want you know this but you can just talk to people randomly on the street or while doing something. It's free.
Maybe I should do that more often...

Id rather not compare absolute levels of sadness, but you can at least talk here if there's something on your mind

Life hasn't really been going super hot for me recently. Got into an argument with a friend earlier this year which made me realize that I might not understand what my long time friends think/understand of me. I don't think any of them did anything malicious but it was clear that I might be the odd one out and that I really don't have anyone that I can trust understands the things I say and feel.
