Then you will fit in just fine here
imonlyheretosayterriblethingsandlaugh
I know it sounds shitty and cliche, but FIND your people. It takes action but I promise it can be done and it’s worth it. Discord & bumble.
friendsofsandwiches
And that's why you're HERE>

"I'm lonely but everyone is lonely so at least I'm not alone" ill not fit in here right there with ya buddy
Legpoker

Have you tried being a better person?
DIINKELBERG
16 years therapy. I try. I really try
Adin1
Felt the same way until I became a caregiver for the elderly.
DIINKELBERG
Im actually a nurse

Alcohol helps some people, but mostly lighten up is my method, punctuated with some drinking.
DIINKELBERG
I don't drink. Had a lot of anger issues when i was a kid and i only drink when i have someone with who could stop me aka my brother
Farbrook
Me too. Ignore it and carry on.
DIINKELBERG
I long for some connection
SkeletorOverlordofEvil
Make your own space ti fit in.
DIINKELBERG
Thats my home

You might just find yourself in the majority
DIINKELBERG
In my family.... im disliked by nerds. Even tho im a quiet nerd. Im hated because i had a rough childhood by my coworkers
ApparentlyImaPsychopath
Well my sweet, you belong with us imgurian nut balls ?
DIINKELBERG
That is nice. But i want to go in a room and see at least one person smile because this person is happy to see me
missjellydonut
Have you felt instances of belonging in your past? Or has it always felt like you’ve had a rough time fitting in?
DIINKELBERG
I had. And a few months later i always found out that those people hated me. Always
missjellydonut
Sorry to hear that ?

Go to Brooklyn. You'll find new life in the Borough of Misfit Toys.
DIINKELBERG
I don't understand that reference
imNotThisCleverIRL
Not a reference. Actual advice.
asdykeasadutchdam
this is not a confession.
DIINKELBERG
I don't know the right meme

DIINKELBERG
Ok. Thank you. For next time

You either learn to adapt and change or you embrace the long dark road. I made my choice years ago, can't say I'm happy but I'll live w/it.
DIINKELBERG
The problem is, i don't know what people don't like about me. What should i change?
CrimsonReaper1985
That's a question I never could answer. The road was always more comfortable for me. Maybe you'll figure out what I never could.
DIINKELBERG
The thing is, no one answers that.
supervillainsevilmoustache
A lot of people are glad you’re here!
DIINKELBERG
Thanks. I just some physical people to be friends with and laugh with
supervillainsevilmoustache
Understandable. Is it Covid causing isolation? My apologies if that’s too forward and no response is expected
DIINKELBERG
No no. That is my whole life you read up there
Seiken3
Same here. I grew up in a small town with few friends. One makes the best out of it, but I feel like an outsider.. Even online somtime
DIINKELBERG
I have one friend left. And probably because he is my roommate.and everytime people want me to open up and then those people start to 1/2
DIINKELBERG
2/2 dislike me. After a while you realise "huh, something is wrong with me when it haooens so often."
Seiken3
Yup.. Then you turn to strangers online to find someone who shares the same feeling, but usually end up feeling more alienated. :/
DIINKELBERG
Exactly!
CorneliusTunt
You're not alone
DIINKELBERG
Thanks man
CorneliusTunt
I've lost a few friends who didn't feel like they belonged, and I only wish they could've waited to see just how well they would have fit in
CorneliusTunt
As isolated as you may feel in this moment (made easier for many by the pandemic), it won't always be this way. Hang in there man
DIINKELBERG
It is really not the pandemic. It is my whole life. Everyone is complaining around me. Not a thing changed for me
EzraFell
It's okay, OP. That's just a very similar mixture of self loathing and anxiety to what I have. In fact, I literally asked a friend of mine>
EzraFell
tonight if they ever felt like no one actually liked me and everyone just tolerated me.
SuckerOfFun
Huh. I was thinking about asking my friend something extremely similar today. That's an odd coincidence.
EzraFell
Was it grey and rainy where you're at?
SuckerOfFun
Nope. Nice sunny day.
EzraFell
Ah. You have one or more friend who's been lazy in replying to your messages?
DIINKELBERG
And?
EzraFell
They asked me who hadn't been responding to my messages, and told me that I'm funny and cool.
DIINKELBERG
That's nice. Most of my friends aren't talking to me anymore. The only one is my roommate and my brother
YouThinkImEspeciallyNotAGenius
Same boat here. I’ve thought about taking a class for things in interested to meet people, but covid. Worlds a lonely place, but we gotta
EzraFell
If you live in or within 20 minutes of Austin, Texas, I will buy us both food and we will hang out.
