Ever feel like...
3 years ago
..you just dont fit in anywhere.
I try to be social online but I mostly feel invisible or just get ignored. Even in groups where you think I would have common interests. I know I'm not good at online social stuff because of my humor. I think I should be a lurker.
But, even with RL friends sometimes I feel like I'm just out here by myself. I live alone so I just kinda stew here at home in my loneliness.
Plus when I do get approached I get used and abused. And when I protest saying, "Is it my turn yet to get the attention", something comes up and it ends.
I really feel pretty worthless. I'm pretty depressed. And nobody seems to even notice.
Arye was the social one that made me do social things. I really miss him.
I'm getting older and i put myself out there, but it just doesn't seem to get easier with age.
Would anyone even notice if I just stopped showing up? I wonder. I do have a fear that I will die in this house and nobody will notice. My cats will eat me.
I'm just hurting. Sorry for the depressing post, but I think I might just give up a while on stuff. The way I feel I really don't know what to do. Depression is kinda setting in. Blah.
And when I do find someone I like, guess what, they are taken. Or I just plain get ghosted.
I just need to take a deep breath.

Unfortunately, it's very hard to find good, compatible people. Doesn't help to dwell on it, but that's easier said than done.

It just sucks because I always think I do. Things have just been rough because of real life pandemic and feeling alienated and then go online to chat and just feel like I dont even belong. I dunno. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

It does seem harder since the pandemic to create and maintain relationships. I think a number of things in recent years have affected how people view each other and interact. In general, I find many people don't want or know how to have interactions that aren't superficial or self-serving. Not to sound too negative. Although I'm a little jaded, sometimes people do surprise me in a positive manner.

That is true. I am a bit jaded too. I am very much not good at online text chat because Im a humorous rabbit. I like joking, but my favorite comedian was Jim Carrey. So there are visual ques to my humor that doesnt translate online. Ill manage. Im feeling a bit better.

Yes, I doubt Jim Carrey's comedy would be so effective in a text box 😅. That's good your feeling better, sometimes a vent and some time make all the difference.
