9559 days of waking up alone.
Morning! I wish I could say it's nice to be here but actually I don't think anybody should be lonely enough to need support from strangers. It hurts real bad and I just want to say that I sympathise with all of you. :'(
You actually counted the days? It never crossed my mind to count the days. Hm. Interesting though, it says "waking up alone" (it`s puzzling why you posted exactly on the 9559th).
"Support from strangers" is even more to be appreciated (you make it sound like it was something pitiful). I, for one, appreciate very much the support I receive here from warm, friendly, open-hearted members. And I share the opinions of Sci-Fi and Seeker.
So, what`s up Zen? Welcome to the forum.
Thanks.
I didn't count the days, I was born 9559 days ago, felt particularly lonely this morning and wondered how many days I've been alive and insignificant.
Of course I appreciate anyone being there to help, I didn't mean to offend anyone with the "support from strangers" remark, sorry.
To the gentleman who mentioned 16,000 days, I'm really sorry for you. I think I'll have given up completely by 10,000, if not already by 2014.
The web can be so frustrating and depressing when you're lonely, particularly on social networks where everyone is always showing off the happiness in their lives. Facebook feeds are filled with nothing but happy optimistic extroverts enjoying themselves or advertising their wonderful lives.
I just can't seem to establish a relationship in life. I don't think I'm physically unattractive or lacking confidence in general, I just can't seem to do anything when it comes to the fairer sex. Girls either don't like me or something else is wrong that I'm not seeing. It's like I'm weak because I'm lonely, and in turn lonely because of this weakness... and somehow they see/sense that and they don't like it.
I've been trying OKCupid (the dating site) for several months now to see if anyone will talk to me, but of course nobody ever replies. I've sent out over 50 messages. I always write nice things too and make nice compliments, but it doesn't seem to matter.
It hurts real bad to just be 'overlooked' like that. Just because I've never had a girlfriend, that shouldn't be a reason for someone to reject me.
The feeling of being neglected and unwanted is horrible. I sympathise with anyone who understands this. For me it's not just an emotional discomfort, but also a physical one, it's a tingling feeling right at the tip of my stomach. Despite years of antidepressants since my early teens, I still struggle to make it a week without wondering when I might actually get around to ending this misery.
Perhaps I'm selfish to assume I should have what most others have, but really I think I just want to feel
normal and loved.
