Today I had all these crazy thoughts going through my head, and a lesser man would've jumped out the window if he had the kind of mind that I do.

But damn, I really wish I had someone to confide in during that moment, someone to talk to let these thoughts out.


Aside from that, loneliness is one of the worst things, if not the worst things, that can happen to someone. Hell, in maximum security prisons overcrowded with murderers, rapists and gangsters they consider solitary confinement to be a punishment. Those guys use morse code and hide letters up their ass just to communicate with a bunch of other dudes who'd rape and kill their mothers without hesitation.

Loneliness also leads to depression which leads to a bunch of other problems. You don't care about anything, especially yourself, when you're in this mindset. You don't feel like getting your **** together because you feel completely unwanted, unloved, unworthy. Then you have that darkest day in your life and stop fighting. You completely ostracize yourself from society, you inflict harm upon yourself or you inflict harm upon other people.

Unfortunately, publicly talking about how lonely you are gets you labeled as a ***** -- and that kind of label only makes you feel worse. If you tell someone you feel like hurting yourself or hurting those who've wronged you, they're going to try and have you committed. This is how global society, global because this problem transcends all culture, deals with emotional problems. We don't want to ******* deal with them, we want to pretend everyone is all ******* jolly, so let's hide these lonely fuckers away.

This Information Age we live in is also making loneliness a bigger problem. We communicate completely electronically now, making ourselves more detached. Hell, we've changed so much we send someone a txt message when speaking to them with our voices is more efficient. Then the other problem is all these forums where we can "safely" speak our minds, but it doesn't resolve anything. We live on here, become different people on here, but never express ourselves in the real world because it seems so strange to us. You feel completely empty when it's over, and sometimes you feel worse.

I personally think I have some really great ideas that'll improve my financial situation, but because I'm so incredibly lonely I don't care enough to pursue them. I'm working on a project now and doing what I can, but doing it by yourself and completely motivating yourself is hard. Whenever I did **** for school my teachers wanted me to succeed, so that was motivation, but when there's no one out there pushing me I just don't care.

And why am I not "getting up by my own bootstraps" and all that other crap? Because at the the end of the day this project will only give me a lot of money so I can buy **** I don't need. It won't cure my depression, it won't make my loneliness go away. At the end of the day I'll be the same as I always am, except with more materialistic possessions.

I also can't stop thinking back about all those mistakes I made, how if I did a few things different I wouldn't be where I am today. If I lived in feudal Japan I'd definitely be committing seppuku for living a worthless life. It just isn't worth it for me to better myself if I will be doing it all by myself. I know some people will tell me to "just do it!" and to those I say a hearty "**** You!" You don't know what it's like, and to think fixing my problem is so easy then you ought to be kicked in the head. I'm sure if someone thought fixing your complicated problems was simple you'd feel the same as me.


Whenever I'm trying to sleep at night, which is incredibly hard because my mind goes 1million miles an hour, two thoughts always cross my mind:
1) I hope I never wake up
2) I hope someone shoots me in the back of the head or slits my throat from behind.

The second is important because I don't want to see my killer. No, because if I saw my killer I'd instinctively try to fight back, and knowing my luck I'd probably survive. I prefer to be killed without having a chance to fight back.
 
Sorry to hear this. I'm kinda feeling the same way so I totally understand. If you want to vent some, feel free to PM me.
 
Society however has nothing against you seeing a counselor or therapist or support group.

Sorry you feel the way you feel.

If you lived in Japan, you would also have been given your role in life so that you would not be lonely. You would know your purpose, and you would also know when you have failed your purpose and when an honorable end awaits.

I'm not sure why you're so lonely, but for what it is worth, believe in this for now: it does get better. I have been, I believe, to almost where you have been, and I have gotten better. It is darkest in the night before it slowly turns to dawn.

Sorry, but that's a ******** solution. If you think it works, good for you. But for me it's a complete waste of time.

Hell, I don't even trust them enough to bother. Half the time they're going to be wondering why someone who's as smart as I am, doesn't have any childhood abuse issues, addiction issues, etc is this way. At worst they won't even care, and at best they'll treat me like an experiment.

Actually living in feudal Japan would royally suck unless you were of the samurai class or above, and not a woman -- so scratch that, lol.

And no, it doesn't get better -- proof is you're still posting on here. Call me a selfish ******* if you want, but I don't think I'd be on a forum where people privately discuss their loneliness/depression/etc if I had another outlet for dealing with them.

Also the "it's going to get worse before it gets better" "hit rock bottom" and that darkest quote you said are all feel-good ********. For some people, a fair amount of people, it keeps on getting worse. We fall all the way down, hit every bump on the way there, and we reach an endless pit instead of a beautiful field.

I'm in that pit right now. I've suppressed my emotions so much I can't express them anymore. I prefer to act like a clown in public rather than be serious because it's so uncomfortable for me to be serious. My emotions are buried all the way inside me and will never come out. Whatever happens, happens -- either I run head first into a brick wall or into something soft and comforting.
 
What I mean is, you are blaming people for not wanting to talk about emotional distraught. But that is because there is a place for that. People don't want to hear talk about high-end professional banter because there is a place for that as well (at work, with other people of the same profession).
The very reason why people don't talk about emotional trouble is because there is a space specifically designed for it.

Yes, and that place is talking to complete strangers who only give a **** about your problems because you're paying them for their time!

Might as well hire a hooker in that case, at least when you're emotionally unsatisfied you still get to cum in the end.

****, you're incredibly egotistical for someone who claims to not have any answers. it seems like every week you come by here with the same post about how lonely you are and how you refuse to do anything about it.

i'm hopeful that one of these day you will allow yourself to accept help since you're unable to resolve your issues on your own. use logic, sir.
 
Well that is a worthy point. But the people you talk to that do care (point: most professionals do care as well, that is a big motivation for choosing such a job) are usually your friends, so I guess it's just an unfortunate situation of having no other option.

Yeah, **** me for bitching on a public forum that was made for people to bitch.

Nah, the friends I have now certainly don't care...believe me. There was a point where I could've talked to people about this and maybe gone somewhere...but those people aren't in my life anymore, and it's partially my fault.
 
It's made for people to solve problems, not bitch.
A ranting subforum would be for bitching.

I'd like to think this is a place where people come to share experiences and give advice. I didn't see "rant" anywhere in the title's of this forum, maybe "A Lonely Rant" is the forum you're looking for.

What's the difference between "ranting" or writing an essay about your experiences -- other than you not liking the former.
 
That you are allowed to be ignorant when ranting. You have warned your audience that you will let your logical flaws and biases take hold of your tone.

What am I being "ignorant" about -- that I decided to use the very abrasive term "bitch" instead of describing the forum the way you described it?

Look, people know what this place is about, regardless of the language we use. Besides, why are my feelings about this place such a big concern of yours?
 
I am here so that I may assist others, somehow, with my own experiences of recovery. I am not in any sense depressed, barring normal and occasional fits of melancholy. I still would like to assist, if you wish.

Fine whatever, just say what you want to say, not sure why you need my permission in the first place.
 
I never said you were ranting. Just described why the forum isn't for ranting.

But it is for ranting because ranting is just another form of expression. I'm obviously a person who's inclined towards anger, so ranting is how I'm going to express myself. Also, I'd say my rant is quite topical, so it's not a rant-rant.
