I've seen you around this forum consistently giving advice that demonstrates you haven't even thought twice about what you've read... you could try to take honest feedback and humble yourself

Bad advice is that which comes from people who don't listen. They might think they're listening. But ultimately, they just want to hear themselves talk

You are right-- bad advice is given online all the time

Tbh quite a few people, over two things. First are the people who say one thing, but act differently. When I try to call them on something, they deny it. What I should have done was to STOP TALKING immediately, and as soon as possible, write down what happened. The other was having to work so...

It's both psychological and real. There are mostly seniors groups & groups aimed at parents with babies. It's true that meetups do exist for people who fit into neither of those categories.. but 1. they're rare, and 2. almost no one shows up. Of the people who do show up, there's often a huge...

I have kind of a weird problem, that's taken over my life. Even though I know it's stupid and irrational. I spend almost all my free time online trying to talk to people or watching tv/youtube/etc. to numb feelings of loneliness. I'm aware the solution would likely have to come from irl...

You can change this-- speaking as someone who used to have a brain that went blank. Although the way I did it was really painful and should never have taken so long. It got to the point where I couldn't get anyone to give me the time of day. I had to push myself further and further out of my...

Tbh what I want more than one or two friends is a place to meet new people. That's what's really suffocating; that's what creates an existential fear of being alone: the idea that this will never change.

It completely makes sense. I had friends when I was a teenager & kid, so the memories from back then drive me to keep trying with people. But I've had a really tough time with people, for like 15 years now. More often than not, interactions leave me feeling confused and unsettled. If I'm...

I don't really get the replies on this thread. Seems like people are missing the point? "Just go outside" and "maybe you'll meet someone" or "just volunteer and be around people that way" don't solve loneliness. Sometimes they help, but you always have to go back home. Idk OP but if you're...

I'd like to recommend to you this fantastic website/app called TikTok :D

It seems like this perspective is becoming rarer, online. It's so strange to me. Why is a conversation only meaningful if you've met someone in person? Everyone you talk to in writing is still a real person. And a unique one, that can never be replaced. Do people think conversation has no...

Exactly!! Thank you for empathizing. I hate it when people just assume that it must be something I'm doing wrong. That I must be expecting therapists to 'fix' me and my problems. People don't even know me or what I've tried and just assume that. I can't relate to taking medication but I also...

And honestly it's not even real therapy. Counselors are garbage. But the one psychologist I went to was equally useless. I made an account here because I'm circling the drain. Some people aren't clinically depressed, but they fall into a pattern of depression they can't get out of. I'm not...
