RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I've been alone for some time. I thought I got used to it but.. I didn't.

Met an individual like a needle in a haystack. Someone whose tracing the same steps I once took. We learned that we have a lot of similarities so I was growing fond of this friendship.. so much that I looked past the one-sidedness of it all. While she certainly was curious about the things she was interested about me..She was never really curious about me.

I felt the lopsidedness of all the conversations and everything, yet I still instigated conversations with her. And when the conversation dried up along with her interest, it was me and my mental health going crazy. Anxiety, thoughts of worthlessness, abandonment. When in reality they never really cared that much for me in the first place and it was entirely foolish of me to invest so much into a person that wouldn't reciprocate.

Sigh...

I am focusing my attention into more productive areas..

What makes you think they don’t care about you? Some people do struggle to commmunicate and together with anxiety that can put 2&2 together to make 5.

Making friends is hard but takes work and sometimes you don’t have the energy nor does the other side. It’s ok to dip out and reassess.

Are you female and looking for a buddy or male and looking for a romantic interest?
