Is the loneliness epidemic getting to anyone else? 🥲

There’s the quote “being alone is better than being with bad company” but what if bad company don’t even want u dawg 😭✌️

There’s “don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm” but in the past, even tho it’s hella toxic I preferred keeping people that weren’t the best around just to not be alone.

TLDR: loneliness is beating my ass

I definitely get this. It feels like over the years ive gotten worse at making friends, especially those close to my age.
It’s so frickin hard 😔 ty for commenting tho
SAME!! esp as someone with high needs too, its so hard to sustain healthy relationships :(((
thisss. I can never tell if I’m overreacting and being too needy :”)
It's so bad for me as well; it feels like everyone has found their little group, and I am outside of it.

Also, it feels like people are losing the ability to have healthy relationships. But at the same time, I would rather be alone than deal with some toxic people I was once friends with.
I am glad I’m no longer associated with toxic ppl too, but the loneliness is still a bitchhh.

Also, heavy relate to feels like everyone else found their tribe. As someone with a complicated family, it’s so hard to know that other people have family they can rely on while I NEED to depend on friends.
My past self can really relate to this, through almost all my years in school, I felt like just a spectator watching everyone else form connections. I was always jealous because I always wanted to connect with someone like that.

But I’m one of those romantics who believes that things aren’t forever and that time heals all wounds, and now I have some really beautiful friendships, very few, to be honest, but genuine ones. And because I’m a die-hard optimist (sorry), I hope that in the future, that wonderful person will come along and become a great friend (• ω •)
Ty for ur kind words <33 i hope so too.
Ty for anyone who commented :”) it makes me feel less alone. If ur in the same boat, let’s be lonely together 🫂
no I defeninetly feel the same way!! its been like this for me for God knows how long
God knew we’d be too strong so they debuffed us :(
Yeah, that's a thing. If you didn't made friends while being a child, getting them later is hard. I have 3 friends for like most of my life (not counting my boyfriend, he's special)
it’s so rigged 😭
I hope one day you get a friend group of your own, excluding any toxicity as well.
TYYY I do have some good friends but it’s hard to keep in touch ;~; one day everything will be good
I feel like I relate to this more when I was in middle school/high school than I do now (in terms of a relationship that is)

Back then I was so desparate for a relationship. I'm not really desparate now, cause I found friends that care for me and vice versa.

I don't think it's what you're talking about, I hope you're able to find people that wash away your loneliness.
Ty and I agree it is very middle/high school adjacent

Sometimes I feel myself reverting back to my younger self and it feels like I’ve made no progress at all - but alas the horrors persist, but so will I :”
this is TOO relatable.. I recently broke up with someone and the loneliness has genuinely hit like a HAMMER 😭 and also it was lwk toxic but like you said i also prefer keeping people that arent the best :/ (sorry if this is tmi it just popped in my head and i wanted to say it)
Not TMI at all, ty for being vulnerable. Toxic relationships are so complicated man,, im acc glad u brought it up cuz i dont rlly know anyone else who’ve experienced them :”) down to DM if u want!
