Hi, yes I just ended things with my really close friend and they were probably one of the only people who genuinely cared about me. There’s not much I can do to take my mind off of it apart from online work. So I can understand what being lonely feels like and I hope it gets easier for you. Everyone deserves to have someone to talk to, it’s only natural to want to connect with other people. So I’m here if you want to talk about anything.

i feel the same way! I only really have a couple super close friends and I thought that was enough but they have other friends and aren’t always free and the loneliness is just not something I was expecting so I totally get that feel and would love to talk whenever you need some to talk to!!

i have friends, but I talk more with them online than I do in person and I know this isn’t the same thing as being alone, but isolating myself gets lonely sometimes

im sorry that

I care 💗

I like meeting new people so I’m here if you want to talk

I am always lonely so I know how that feels and how it could affect your mental health. I will be here for you if you need to talk about it.
