Don't really know how to start this "diary". I didn't really wanted to write things here...it's kinda intimidating knowing that everyone could read it. But, I've changed my mind, or maybe is it just because of that weird feeling that comes at night. Maybe I actually want someone to see it. I don't know. Everything's confusing.

I've been feeling lonely these days, I think. But I don't mind loneliness... I think. I'm just sad and unmotivated. Really unmotivated.
I don't feel comfortable talking with people. I don't even feel comfortable reaching my friends... Feels like I'm annoying everytime I type something. Like I never say the right thing.
I wonder what he's thinking about me. But I really don't wanna ask questions like these. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been if I was more... delicate with my words. I still don't think that I was wrong though, but maybe the approach was. Well, whatever. Now time has passed and hopefully we are both ignoring it. Or, is he really ignoring it ? Does he ever think about these past times ? Does he likes me less ? I don't think he considers me as a good friend to be honest. But also we're both very bad at communication. I'm trying to start conversations sometimes but it's like I have a taste of regret everytime after doing it, I have mixed feelings actually. Because sometimes, you might be just waiting for someone to send you a message. And I could be this someone for him. Maybe. But also maybe I'm not that someone he needs. I don't know why I feel so intimidated by him. Probably because I really appreciate him for whatever reasons. I don't even understand why I appreciate him so much. I'd love to get him out of my mind, but it just seems impossible. Very strange.
And also his lifestyle is worrying me, but what can I do about it ? Nothing. So I'm avoiding any response to the little information I get, 'cause... I just don't feel legitimate. And I know it won't help. And he probably doesn't want me to tell him things that he already knows... I guess.

I'm also thinking about her.
These past months we used to talk very often. Every day actually. I like her, she likes me, good friendship.
But I don't know since this trip she had, it's like things have changed. We've been so silent ever since, I don't get it. Things don't even seem wrong but... something feels wrong ? And I just can't explain why or how.
I think I wish she'd talk to me more. Because she haven't reached to me at all, which is unusual. Did spending some time with other humans changed her in such a little amount of time ?
It's like something has changed in my routine now that we don't talk much. But I don't have anything to say to her. As much as I like her, I have no idea of what I could say. Does she even want me to say something ?
That's the weird thing. I have no idea if people want me to talk to them. I don't feel wanted. I don't feel essential. And maybe I'm just being selfish or too dramatic. So in the end, maybe the safest is just to write things to yourself. Or to strangers. If anybody ever reads this and understands what I'm trying to explain, as english isn't my mother tongue.

The funny thing is I've never even met this people, yet they take so much space in my brain. But. I guess I like it like that... Yeah, typing on a computer instead of speaking face to face is definitely something I prefer. It would be better if we never even meet in person. I guess. Yeah. Pretty sure.

Ah... should I mention this third person though.
They're... cool... I guess... well... we're friends, so, yeah, they're cool.
I like them but I don't know why I'm being so dry in my way of responding to them. I hope I didn't hurt them.
I guess it's nice of them to send me a message, even if it's insignificant. But why am I being such trash. When one people tries to talk to me I don't want to, but then I'm also whining about the two other people that don't seem like they want to talk to me.
I feel bad about that.

Funny how everything's related to the box that is my computer.
My whole life gravitates around it. The world seems so much bigger and yet, all my years are spent in front of this one box.
I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of things. But also, I'm such an unmotivated human being with zero energy that...even taking the subway is hard. Maybe it's my fault. But that's the easiest thing to do, being in front of that box.
I've thought about the fact that if I died and I had to see all the years of my life played at an accelereated speed, and like I would see me from an external point of view... I would practically only see myself in front of my computer. That's it. When I first realised that, it made me feel pathetic. Now... I don't know... what would I do anyway... I'm not that free. Can't leave everything and go travel around the world. Do I even wanna travel around the world ? Probably not. My body would feel heavy and all I would wanna do would be staying in bed. Like every day.


I don't know where this is going.
Hope I'm not going to regret posting this. But I probably would. Because at some point, I always end up wanting to erase all traces of my existence.

Hey, first of all thank you to you two that took time to read and reply, didn't expect it but it was a nice surprise.

@0820170719105

I wouldn't mind talking about it, just a bit afraid 'cause when it comes to talking with people I don't really know what to say ahah... but again, thank you.

@faithfulLand2395

It's always nice seeing that you're not alone in a certain situation, thank you for your message. I'm really glad that it seems to be better now for you !

Also I wanted to add that I took an appointment to see a therapist, again. It's been almost a year but it's a different one this time, I hope they won't rush it like the previous one did. Don't really know what to think about that. It always feels awkward, it's like I have nothing to say once I'm in that chair in front of them. I'm wondering if I'll have to go on medication again... Don't know what to think about that neither. I remember how annoying it was to stop taking antidepressants... but that's just maybe because I was not dealing with it properly. Very bad idea to stop them suddenly one day...at least now I'm know that yes, I do have to do what everyone tells me and stop progressively.
Truth is I didn't even stopped taking them because I was feeling better. But things were complicated at that time. So, I hope it'll go better this time.

Oh and things seem to be better with her. Still a bit weird but... it's not as bad. I think.
No evolution about him though, but who's surprised.

@GreenAsparagus

I can relate to what you're sharing of wanting to reach out and connect with people, but also feeling like maybe if you do you might be inconveniencing or burdening them or being selfish. Also relate to what you've said of wanting to erase your presence as soon as you start reaching out or expressing yourself--partly fears of bothering other people and partly fears of being rejected by other people.

Am hearing that too with what you're describing of "him". It sounds confusing to not know whether you're bothering him by reaching out, or if maybe he's in a situation where he feels lonely and is really comforted by you wanting to talk to him. And not being really sure what he's feeling in general.

I've definitely felt what you're describing of feeling "intimidated". Sort of like there's a person who's really important or special, and it feels like what they say/do matters a lot. And if something were to go wrong, I'd react more strongly than if I got into a conflict with someone I wasn't as close to--like a fear that something might go wrong or I might ruin that special connection and scare away that person.

@frigidstars27, thank you for relating to what I've written, it's always nice to see that we're not alone in a specific situation.


I haven't written here for some weeks now. Sorry, I was thinking about it but just didn't feel like doing it.
I've been to the therapist. Worst person ever. Will never concider going back, don't wanna ever try again.
But honestly, I'm pretty fine.
Is it weird to say that ? I've been feeling so low, I've been so deep down... and this terrible person put me in such a mood that I honestly hit the bottom. so hard that... I've managed to recover and to go back up to the surface.

Even for me it seems very weird to explain. But I don't know, something changed in my way of thinking. I feel like there has been a click. And maybe I'm saying this too early and that it'll not last, but as the title says, whatever.

That's all I wanted to say for now. Thank you to anyone reading this.

And here we go again.
I hate my life. I mean... my real life. Because, some people are wonderful, on the internet. But real life s*cks. I just wanna escape, go somewhere in a new city, maybe a new country, where no one knows me. But this just can't happen. I'm sick of waiting. Always have to wait for good things to happen. How much longer will I have to wait, is it even worth waiting...

Don't worry though, I'm not gonna do anything, just crying in front of my computer, that's the only thing I can do. Finally something I'm good at, such a shame that it's useless.

Hello friend, it's me again.

Came here to complain, of course.
As I don't do anything with my life right now, my sleep schedule is pretty messed up. And even though I can sleep a lot, because I have nothing else to do, well, last night I still had an awful night. Woke up feeling even more tired than before sleep, feels like I just had weird dreams all night long without time to actually rest. Kinda reminds me of the time where I was taking medication and it gave me those vivid dreams almost every night.

Anyway, I don't know if it's related to this bad night of sleep but I've been feeling so angry this evening. For no valuable reason. I have no idea why I get so angry sometimes. Heard that it can be a side effect of depression ? Maybe, idk.
Pretty much everything annoys me.
I just want to complain, but even complaining feels wrong.
Still gonna do it though. ahah.

Let's start with one of the friends I've mentionned before, the third one.
I don't know why, I just... don't want to talk to them. I just don't want any interaction. And I know this is mean, but it's just how I feel... I can't explain where that rejection comes from. And rejection s*cks so bad, I know so well how it feels.
So, of course, I'm trying to be nice to them, but it doesn't feel sincere and I hate myself for being like that.
I also feel like they steal my ideas sometimes. Like... for... characters. Yeah, we're on the same website that is basically... a roleplay forum. Ahah, for some reason I'm reluctant to say this, as if it was something shameful... well, at least it keeps you occupied when you have nothing to do, and your character(s) can do anything you write.
But I've discovered that, on another website, where I'm not registered, they used the same last name as my character. I know, probably not copying/stealing blablabla, this happens, but... it still bothers me. They also made a character that has multiple common points with mine (place of birth, studies...), and that also can happen, of course, not a big deal, but I keep thinking that they copied me, and that bothers me.
It's dumb.
I just feel like an hypocrite, why can't I appreciate people that appreciate me.

On the other hand, of course I still keep thinking about him. Also one of the friends mentionned in the very first message.
And he, of course, probably doesn't. We're not talking much, probably not even once a week. I tried to reach out recently, thought my message could lead to a conversation, but he only responded with one word. Even though we're bad at talking, I think that, if you really wanna talk to someone, you would somehow find a way to make the discussion going, at least ask a question, idk. I thought he would ask one actually. But of course, I'm always wrong when it comes to him. My expectations are always too high.
And I still think about him regularly, hope that he'll send me a message, ask me what's up, how I'm doing, anything. But it's not happening. And maybe he just doesn't wanna talk to me, so I don't know what to say. Don't want to send a message if he's not willing to at least try making conversation. It's too hard.

Finally, and also one of the friends I talked about in the first message, yeah, her.
Well she's cool. Talks to me pretty much every day. I feel like she's the only one that's always here. Even though sometimes she annoys me too, unfortunately, at least it's not a feeling that "lasts". I really sincerely appreciate her.
Now I'm reading again what I've wrote and it really sounds mean. I don't want to be mean. But it still feels like I am... I'm sorry.

I'm scared of the future. I'll have to start pretending that I'm a normal being again in september. Pretend that getting up, taking a shower, putting on clothes, taking public transportation isn't something horribly draining. Will not be able to stay up all night until 4 am as it is now.
I don't even know what I'm gonna study yet. I just know I'm not excited to go back to doing things again.
Time passes at an incredibly fast speed. Every single day is the same. I don't even know if I don't do anything because I don't have motivation or because I don't have time. Well, the first one probably, time is the same for everyone, but, yeah... it feels like that.
And I don't wanna do anything actually.
So that's how I spend my days. In front of my computer, not doing anything. But even that feels bad.

Doing things feels bad. Not doing things feels bad.
Life's funny, isn't it.


well, gotta sleep now
hope i don't regret posting this message on the internet
i get paranoid sometimes

hey @faithfulLand2395, thank you for asking, well, to be honest, nothing has changed since last time
haven't talked to them, haven't talked to him, not much conversation with her neither...
still spending all my days in front of my computer, doing nothing
I haven't been outside for a solid month now, which is interesting because now with the virus we aren't even supposed to, so... not gonna happen anytime soon I guess
but like, I don't even wanna walk, so, at least I have an excuse now...
//tw//
I don't know if I can say this here but... wouldn't mind getting the virus if I end up dy*ng from it. Feels like this world isn't for everyone, at least I don't feel like I fit anywhere in it, so, might as well not exist anymore.

@faithfulLand2395, thank you, that's a very sweet message.
What I meant by that was that... society expects from you that you act and be a certain way, and I'm not even thinking about deep things, I'm just thinking about... studying/having a job. But no one cares if you're depressed. You still have to do... things. And when even the most simple things seem so easy to everybody, you struggle. And no one really understands, even the people that are close to you.
Well, of course, there are places like this on the internet where people maybe understand, but honestly, does it make life easier ? not really, even though, of course, it's always good to see someone that relates to your struggles.

I don't know, I'm getting confused by typing this haha, sorry if it doesn't make much sense, english isn't my first language so it can be a bit difficult sometimes.

Also I wanted to mention this corona virus situation. I find it so weird that lots of people keep complaining about how difficult it is for them to stay at home, how they feel like they're becoming crazy... Because that's litteraly how I live since I've stopped going to university : just staying at home in front of my computer, doing nothing, and maybe going outside once a month when I really need to buy something. To me this is normal, but apparently my life style is called "quarantine"... haha? don't even know if I find it funny or sad.

Hi, if anyone even comes across this.

Just needed to write this down because maybe it's gonna make me feel better, somehow... I don't even know.
I kinda feel like everyone hates me lol... like, I'm just not a loveable human being. (don't know if this expresses my feelings right, sorry, english isn't my first language)

Basically these last few days, or week, there's someone that has been sending me messages daily. I don't know if I could call them a friend, as I feel that I don't know them for long enough. (we only know each other on the internet btw)
But... this has been so draining omg... I've almost never felt something like this before. They're kind but soooooo annoying... And I feel like a bad person for saying this because hey at least someone's messaging me, shouldn't I be happy ? but like... getting messages all day long... everytime they do something, they would send me a message and/or pictures...it's really pointless conversations...and like... I don't even know what to answer to that ??? and I was really getting tired of it but like... there's litteraly no good way of saying to someone "hey you're super annoying, please stop messaging me, but also don't do it in a way that you never want to message me again". so like... I began giving super short answers because... I don't even know what to answer anymore ??? to be very honest, I don't care ??? why do some people feel the need to go that deep into uninteresting things ??? but yeah, I don't wanna be mean either of course, I don't want anyone to feel bad because of me. but I still think they got offended because they didn't send me anymore message since my very short answer after they sent me a dozen of messages (litteraly).


And to be honest... it's such a relief. when they were talking to me all day long I felt like they were absorbing all my time and all my energy. I couldn't focus on anything else because every ten minutes I would get an useless update of them.
But now... it feels weird to not get a message from them lol. And like, not in the sense that I miss it, oh hell no, as I said, it's a relief. but in the sense that I feel like they're offended ? I feel like they're giving me the silent treatment because I didn't behave nicely ? And because of that, my mind still can't be at peace. I really believe that they see me as an assh*le.
and I wish I could not care, but the problem is, I do care very much about what people think of me. and especially because recently I had an unpleasing conversation/argument with another acquaintance, and since then, even if the conversation ended up "nicely", I still believe they don't like me. so yeah, this is all adding up and I don't feel good at all. feels like I just don't know how to talk to people and I end up being the worst person. kinda want that all these people forget me like I never existed but too late so now I'm just playing de*d, hiding with my insecurities.

Thank you for reading this message. Hopefully you're having a better day that me.

I really feel like nobody cares. I can stay in front of that screen all day long without one single person messaging me, just being curious about how I am doing, how I feel. Truth is, even though I love my loneliness so much, I also do want some company. Especially because I can't stop thinking about shitty toxic people that hurt me. I need someone to talk to, someone who cares but who also knows the limits (not like the overwhelming one I mentionned before, that was just unbearable and still gives me major distress when I think about it), someone willing to clear my mind when it gets too dark, someone to reassure me. Not just an occasionnal person to talk to on the internet. But a friend.
Is it selfish to feel that way ? Because I'm tired of being the one that always starts conversations and people don't even bother responding or when they respond they write a message every hour even though they've told me they have nothing to do.
And the worst thing is that even though sometimes I just want to give up on all these people that don't care, I still end up eventually reaching out to them like a desperate dog.
I don't know. I just don't feel seen.
Nobody sees me, nobody understands me.
Everything is always going in one way and I'm the one who never receives anything in return.
Being it in real life or in virtual life, I always end up left out.
Sometimes I wish to d*e or disappear for a very long time just so that people would eventually start caring, maybe someone would wonder what's up with me. But I think I'm starting to realize that even if I disappear, no one will even notice.
I feel like all the human beings I know are just breaking my heart one after another. I feel like there's not even one person that brings me positive feelings and only positive feelings. It's always bittersweet. I'm tired of that. I wish there was a way to permanently delete people from your mind because I care too much and it's destroying me.

I'm no wiseman so I lack good advice. I do have some ideas you can take with a grain of salt though. I'm in a similar situation as you- I have no friends or family left now. It's tough to get over. Honestly, people say get over it and move on, but it's not so cut and dry. I don't know if you're like me but I'm unable to do that. I guess I form free but deep attachments.

I've found its not possible to force myself into forgetting them as much as I'd like to. But it helps a LOT to fill up time so there's less time to dwell.

@0820170719105,
thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my messages here!
I'm sorry to read that you're also so lonely... as you say, there's not much to do about that except stay occupied in order to not think...
And no, I don't do roleplay anymore, I don't really have hobbies to be honest... Is watching YouTube videos considered a hobby...? haha...

I think pretty much any skill can be cool but I'm really too unmotivated... it may sound dumb but I just don't like... doing things... ?
Like, I wish I could draw for example. But in order to do that, I would have to take my sketchbook, which is under others books..........now that I'm writing it it really sounds so dumb but to me even reaching for an object that is under other objects seems like too much effort... and then I'd have to open it... and take a pen... and draw... and put the sketchbook under these other books again because that's where it belongs... so in the end, I'd rather do nothing...


I've started going back to college recently and I feel so tired. I don't even have that much classes to be honest... but it's so so so tiring having to get up, get dressed and go out every single day. See so much people every day. Be around them. Hear all that noise. It's stressful. And exhausting.
Then, when I come home, I found myself getting irritated for nothing, I'm sorry for my mom that has to deal with such unexplainable mood swings.
The real world is really tiring. I don't know how people do that. All these things that seem so normal are so hard to me... why does it have to be that hard ?

From what you're saying it sounds like you become drained easily. I have heard a tip on starting things is to only commit two minutes to them, and if you still don't want to do it, leave it be. But apparently 2 minutes usually helps a lot to kickstart something. Could try it. But don't feel guilty if you can't, you're doing what you can. As long as you enjoy the videos there's nothing wrong with that.

I also only have 3 classes but I get tired very easily too. Sometimes I wish I had more energy like other people. Are you able to get professional help for things like this? If you want to, it helps a lot with things like energy or finding ways to decrease the amount of things that stress you/drain you

Hope you feel a bit better soon.
