Sometimes I feel like an absolute void of nothingness, no one truly cares for ME, no one reaches out via message, I hang out with friends sometimes, but we're not super close. I just feel alone.
π€π€π€ here, have some hugs
Thanks Seagoon β€οΈ
Can I help?
You just asking does help a little. Thank you for asking.
I really appreciate it, I'm an only child as well and I thankfully do have my mum and I'm so sorry your parents aren't there for you.
You're right in what you're saying, I just want someone to message and ask if I'm okay and to not always be there one initiating contact.
Thank you for caring and telling me you care, I needed that.
I care too.
Thank you for telling me that.

Improve your relationship with yourself. Be the person you need you to be. Easier said than done right? It used to shit me too, but why DONT we love ourselves? Cause in the end, at the very very end, weβre all we got.
I have done a lot of work on loving myself and I'm most of the way there but I do still struggle with not having people around me that care. I spend a lot of time with myself and I'm great company but I do like other peoples company as well.
I FEEL THIS on another level. I am exactly the same.
<3 I totally feel you. I'm very much a stranger but sometimes talking to strangers is easier than people you know. So if you need a chat, don't be afraid to reach out.
Hey there misssdarylc. Sorry, I've been reading your posts for a long time but I've never taken the time to respond. I'll change that for what it's worth. I adore hearing about your love stories and struggles with navigating apps and trying to find a good way to find someone.
I'm sorry you feel alone, isolation is hard and I feel like most of my friends just aren't really there too much either. I had people cancel or defer plans twice this week already though at least one was due to illness. It's a bit disappointing honestly. I hope this reply can start at least some nice exchanges here. Nothing is stopping you from feeling the love I'm sending you right now through the ether.
Best wishes

Hey Hongo,
I really appreciate you taking the time out to say all of this, it made me teary eyed! People suck with cancelling plans, it's so frustrating.
Thank you again for the love!
Hey queen, again I feel this to a tee. I constantly feel like a second choice.
How are you doing now?
