I never wanted to grow old
After my plan of living fast and dying young ended up changing I find myself confused as to where I am, who I am, and how do I meet people who aren’t afraid of my past or awkwardly tip toe around it. After many bad decisions and one last big move to the south end of the country I ended up in a small highly conservative town where to be invited to house shows or battle of the bands things you had to have been here forever.
I’m 31 now happily Married except that I see I depend on him too much for the void my friends used to fill. I kept in contact for awhile but started to feel the strain.
Every person I have made a connection with it goes okay at first inevitably though something fro my past comes up and it makes them
go Say. It is never me highlighting it or making it a good thing but they don’t want anything to do with It.
i have messaged first, asked first, done everything I possibly can to Start friendships but I am not what people want.
i have been told I’m too nice they want someone real. But it is me being real.
i have terrible anxiety, clasified SMI, I work full
time and go school.
I crave to support others, and be supported. I misd laughing until my stomach
hurts or the feeling when you connect so deeply on a subject. I want a call
or text when a friend needs it and to also have someone who will help me when I start unraveling.
i am 31 female no kids love music and horror movies!
Hello @agreeableBlackberry1057
There comes a point in peoples lives where they find diffuculty making friends.
i support you. You are not alone and i hear you. The fact is your just gonna have to focus even more on finding friends. Yes there are going to be many people who turn their nose up at you. But when you discover a person who accepts you for who you truly are it will be worth all the effort to find these gems.(real friends)
Please don't give up, so many people are struggling right now, i hear people talk about what your going through daily...
Something will happen, sending you hugs and support if it's ok...✨🌟💫
@AsherTree. Yes more than okay thank you. Is counseling your job? Is that why you hear this happening often?
Hello @agreeableBlackberry1057
I am a listener... i have been listening to the epidemic of loneliness about 3 years before Covid. The news has been discussing the loneliness epidemic around 2 times at least every month. 1 in 4 suffer from loneliness. I spend a lot of time on mental health websites so i would say yes it comes up a lot more because of that.
