I’m so mad with myself…
3 years ago
So today was the only day I could’ve gone to TFF 2022. And even if all I did was take photos and talk to strangers… it felt so good. It felt amazing. And i can’t believe I’m saying this, but I felt like I belonged.
Never before have I ever EVER been able to say that. But just going there and existing just made me feel alive.
And I hate myself. I hate every bit of myself for not having anyone to be with. I went alone… and the price I pay is literally having my wings cut and having a busy schedule.
I’m turning 19 soon and yet I don’t have friends where I can do things and hang out with them. I hate admitting this, but I can’t survive being alone.
I need real people… real people with me right next to me.
It was still great. Furry conventions are amazing…

What I'll say will be harsh to hear but is what I found out to be true (based on my life experiences only):
Having no friends to hang out may sadden your day, but hating yourself for it isn't a healthy line of thought. I really hated myself in my teens (for more than 3 years straight) and it did nothing good for me. I used to blame myself very harshly for pretty much anything: mistakes, failures, feeling lazy, frustrations, getting mad at random with people I liked, the list goes on. The only thing it did for me was making things worse. I don't want the same to happen to you.
Now? I'm still in rehabilitation due mental health problems that I neglected when younger.
If I could go back in the past, one piece of advice I would give myself is "Don't feel embarrassed about needing some kind of help, you don't have to cross your entire dark path alone. There are people who care about you and want you to succeed in life"... this is getting long and boring isn't it?
I was just sharing some thoughts of mine, wish ya the best buddy!
and also I'm intrigued that you're actually younger than meI'm glad you had a good time though ^^
Why do I forget? :(
As your other friend said, its not healthy to put so much hate on yourself. And since your birthday is near, I'm very excited to surprise you and make you smile, hehehe!
