Off My Chest

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I literally have no friends irl or any relationships at all, not even family. Many often I feel so horrible because of my isolation and loneliness.

I need some hope, have any of you had life experiences with extreme loneliness but built relationships?

yep! after the divorce!

when you can, go do some stuff out there with other peeps. It doesn't really matter what it is as long as it's something where an activity of any kind can be participated in, and other people are willingly nearby and in good spirits.

But in the meantime focus on hobbies and skills and stuff.

that way when you are around people, there are things that you can talk about and show people.

vidya also!

A great one is public game night, pokemon or yu gi oh if that's your interest, but there is typically lots of choice (magic, one piece, warhammer, lorcana, beyblade, ....). Depending on the size of your town, there is probably a comic/card/board game shop nearby with a listing of game nights. They are usually a super friendly bunch, used to welcoming new faces.
