Needing some uplifting words or even some harsh criticism. I know I need to shave and I got a big nose. I’m in a new challenging role with work and things at home have stalled. Friends are harder to meet and even harder to get together with my current friends. I know we all have busy lives, but I feel like I’m just a robot lately missing out on excitement and adventure.

This is me, it's been a while but my girlfriend left me about 2 and a half months ago now (she was my whole world). Since then, I'm pretty much completely alone, and I feel just.. unwanted? If that makes sense?

I think I look like a hedgehog, and being 5,6 ain't helping lol. But besides all that stuff, I'm pretty successful for my age I've made local history, done some incredible things, but the one thing Ive never experienced is what it's like to hug someone. To have a physical girlfriend, and to share real life experiences with her. I won't lie, I long for that really bad. And I don't know why I haven't had that before you know? It just hurts sometimes. Alot.

But.. thank you all for supporting me and being here, this sub has helped me so much. I hope I don't post too much lol, I hope y'all have the amazing day you guys deserve 🫶

Been going through a lot of mental health issues for the last few years, gave up on living, and ruined my entire life. Getting help and support to heal, process my grief and trauma, and build a better life for my 30s but some days I feel really isolated and could use a pick me up.

Been vibing a lot better. But I have some big decisions to make... need the good vibes. 🩷 caca vibes are not the vibe.

I’ve went two months now without nicotine, alcohol, and weed and I’ve been putting all this extra time into working out, and once I get fit I want to make music.

I just feel like I’ve wasted so much time and now I’m in a race against time, everyone around me is in relationships yet being in a relationship will slow me down in the pursuit of my goal to make music.

Yet I want a relationship as I’ve never been in one, sometimes I feel like I’m not good enough, why else have I been alone for all this time?

I’m just feeling overwhelmed yet happy, yet still very regretful for the seven years I wasted of my life doing nothing. I look at myself a lot and wish I could go back to when I was younger; we all do of course, I just wish I did things differently.

I used to be really insecure, but I’m slowly starting to overcome my insecurities and embrace my differences. I love myself and I hope you love yourself too. 🫵🏻

Im mid 40s only a few years off 50. Saw some pics of me back in the day of what I used to look like, and I dont like what the mirror says actually look like.. noticed the 50 pounds that crept up over the last 5 years, the bags under my eyes, and yea...not feeling too damn cute.

I always wondered what I looked like to other people, am I honestly looking as tired and beat down as I think I do?

After two challenging years of avoiding reality, I’m finally beginning to see the light. I’m working on quitting drinking now and I’ve already kicked drugs and smoking! Even with these steps forward, I’m still wrestling with self doubt and insecurity…

I am fighting with depression once again. I was first diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder two years ago. I have had no friends for several years and have no confidence at all to even try talking to a girl. Due to neurodivergence from ASD, I have struggled to fit in anywhere. I hate large crowds. I feel so lost, trapped, and alone. I hate myself 24/7. This has just been a never ending cycle. I don’t think anyone deserves to have to tolerate my differences. I just feel like this is it for me. Like it’s over. Depression keeps telling me this all day long. I could really use some help right now.

I need a purpose and I need to get my degree because I can’t make friends no matter what I do or any events that I attend to and no girls are ever interested in me and no one is interested in me being my friend and I’m fucking pathetic because of that and I have autism and it impossible for me to have friends and girlfriend and I have accepted that I’ll be alone but if I can get my degree with a high paying job then that I need

Right now I’m In community college and it pathetic and I’m doing computer science and I have zero experience and I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing and it completely frustrates me

I hate myself to extremely level because of my autism and I keep struggling to make connections and everyone who is normal already have a group of friends and an loving partner and I’m stuck with no and my mental health have gotten worse because of this extreme loneliness and I already see a therapist and I gave up on them because all they did is just taking my money and none of their advice works…..

I might as well get my degree and I’ll work myself to the bones to reach my goals and I have to be a man of purpose no matter what………..

Just ended a long term relationship and it's hitting me hard.

Recently just went through my first real heartbreak. It absolutely shattered me. I thought she was the one and it hurt more than I ever thought heartbreak could. I’ve been hung over it for quite some time. You ever ask the question “Am I good enough?” I found myself asking that quite a bit afterwards.

I work from home and don’t really have family or friends. A lot of my family has passed. Both grandparents that raised me have also passed. It gets VERY lonely at times and I spend a lot of my “free” time (which is almost always), doing nothing. Very unproductive and it makes me feel like a failure. I’ve yet to really discover any hobbies I enjoy doing other than listening to music and singing.

I definitely wish I had people to talk to, even if it’s just a few mins a day. I’m honestly a really down to earth and chill dude, but the fact I have nobody, is incredibly depressing. The fact I’m even making this post embarrasses me, but you guys seem uplifting.

I just feel so ugly recently
