I have a heart condition where my heart pretty thick and scarred up. While most people live a normal life with this, the people who don't need pretty serious medical interventions that don't always with. The new med they have for this condition just released but it's like 80k per month. So far...

I'm sorry you are going through this. Glad you are starting to make a recovery. I had a TIA a couple months before my 37th birthday. It was/is terrifying. It's even more terrifying to know that people in our situation are suspectable to have additional strokes. Make sure you take care of your...

Wow. I haven't been in these forums for years. I started this thread with my old account. Memories

I don't believe suicide in and of itself is a necessarily bad thing. In fact, in some situations, suicide is probably the ideal solution. Given that I have family that benefit from my survival, suicide isn't an adequate solution for me. I must admit, however, that I am "ending my own life" or...

I certainly don't believe I am a 'unique snowflake'. If I thought that, I wouldn't be here asking for advice given that said advice would be nearly null because of my supposed uniqueness. And I would normally agree other statements made but certain instances lead me to believe it is a bit...

Since high school, I have tried to hide behind a mask. Masking my loneliness, awkwardness, self-hatred, social ineptness, etc. pretty effectively through lies, fake smiles and false confidence. Or so I thought. Lately I am beginning to realize that they could see behind the mask all along. They...

Lately its just been Netflix and alcohol. Before, it was just Netflix. Downhill..

I don't expect to find anyone anymore. It hurts but I think I will just have accept it.

I haven't seriously thought of committing suicide. It would cause my family way too much pain. Plus, I want my death to be beneficial to them (i.e. some money left for them). When I was a christian, I often prayed that I would just die. I wanted to die so bad. I really wanted it to be over...

I can see how Facebook can make one feel lonelier - seeing pictures of happy couples, people posting baby pictures, going to concerts without you, etc. etc. It's kinda like that in real life, though. I often feel lonelier when I see a happy couple at the supermarket or a young couple with a...

I have seen plenty of guys with no money, no car, no goals who are overweight and still have an attractive lady. Confidence and persistence go a long way.

It's not really an online only thing. It is a way to find groups of people with similar interest so that you can meet up with them. For instance, I am part of the photography meetup in my city. They plan trips to different areas and sometimes I go with them. It isn't like a forum or anything.

Has anyone tried nofap as a means of escaping the lonely life? For those who don't know what it is, it is basically abstaining from porn and masturbation for an extended period of time (at least 90 days, forever if possible). The most popular forum on the subject is on Reddit...

Probably not. Too much risk involved.

Unfortunately, there are shitty people all over the country. Best you can do is try to find other people who are somewhat less shitty. Try meetup.com and find people with similar interests.
