How does one deal with loneliness? It gets heavier with the years.
I have hobbies, occupations, a routine, etc. Basically my personal life is settled. But I want someone to share things, I want to be touched by someone (woman). That stuff about crying every night in your bed when you realize how utterly lonely you are, that's all true. What should I do frens? Give me a hand, I'm running out of ideas.

>>17022311
Hello frens. I need advice. There is a girl who works at a local store who I've known for some time now, we were friends for a long time, but drifted apart due to going to college in different places. We're both home now for the break. I want to be with her, I always liked her, and we came close to having something, but it never came to be fully. Convince me to go over to that store and ask her out.

I've considered myself an asocial person most of my life but recently made some new friends. Barely have anything in common but it's just nice to see people. Loneliness can fuck up your entire life no matter how good you've made it, and you might not be aware.
If you want to meet a woman, go read /r/theredpill (if they haven't banned it yet) with a skeptical mind. you will learn evil ways to meet women, but you can use them for good

>>17022795
Unless you can compete with the chads she's been fucking at college, don't bother.

>>17022766
I know how you feel fren. Unfortunately, you're in a tough spot right now with this pandemic and all. It's not so easy anymore as heading out to a bar and chatting people up. You can try tinder, but to tell you the truth, you're unlikely to find much satisfaction beyond one-night stands. I suggest trying to take care of yrself as much as you can for now buddy, stick it out. When this vaccine gets out and things start to be the same as it ever was again, make sure to put yrself out there. Hit the bars on Friday nights, even if you don't meet women, make some friends and you'll be sure to meet people through those friends. If you see flyers for something that looks fun, go to it. To hell with embarrassment and shame. You'll get rejected, doesn't matter, they won't hold anything against you and you should do the same. Good luck pal, everything will be okay someday.

>>17022795
She still works at the store?

>>17022858
Should I hit the bars alone?
I have no friends.
How does one approach people like that? I have no idea.

I think I might be going depressed due to my prolonged lack of meaningful human contact, again. Liking solitude has this big downside. I just rejected going camping with some friends arguing that I don't want to unnecessarily increase the risk of my family getting covid, but while that is true, I'm actually a bit afraid that the real reason is that I just don't have enough motivation to do fun stuff.
My relationship with most of my family has deteriorated to the point of mere courtesy. We're like strangers. I really don't know if I should make the effort to fix it or not. Truth is that they have always rejected me, even the closest ones, and I'm just tired of having to be half myself everytime I'm around someone. Anyone.
I would like to have a friend or wife with whom I could just be who I am, without having to cut off pieces of me out of fear of being rejected, but this constant situation through my entire life has left me with serious trust issues.
I have lost every best friend I've had, and with the closest friend I have right now I'm very afraid of trusting him too much. I just don't want to go through this again. Friend heartbreak is probably more painful than couple heartbreak, which by the way I'm also going through. I can't believe my fiancée decided to leave...

>>17022766
I sincerely hope you can heal someday.

>>17022819
I'm not really worried about the status of the other guys she's been with, it hasn't got anything to do with me.
>>17022869
Yes, a corner store.

but it's only 1134 pm

>>17022904
Crap. I posted in the wrong thread and even replied to the wrong guy.
I still hope you find someone who makes your world more beautiful, fren.

>>17022876
If you haven't got anyone to go with, there's nothing wrong with hitting the bars alone, in fact it's almost easier to meet other people that way because you don't have to worry about being there for the other you came with.
I know it seems really daunting to approach people, but trust me fren it's not so bad. I'm assuming you are either in college, or freshly out of college, and you'll be surprised how open people are at your age. People are very receptive to friendliness.
Here's some advice: Be careful which bars you're going into, you obviously won't meet anyone at the bar where the old men go to drink away their paychecks. Try the streets where there is known to be a nightlife. Gay bars are good, the majority of people who go to those bars, aren't actually gay, and are there just to have a good easy time. If there's a bar with a live band playing, that's gonna be yr top choice.
Now on approaching people, if you see a girl you like drinking at the bar, simply go up and say hello, it's easy as that. Ask them how they're doing, give them a compliment, ask if you can buy them a drink, engage with them, if it goes well, conversation will flow pretty naturally, if it seems like yr forcing it, just duck out. Also be sure to ask if they're there alone or with a group, if they're with a group, ask if they'd mind if you join them, if she likes you, she'll be sure to invite you to join them.
Guys are easier obviously, cause us guys just tend to become friends automatically, and you can almost always find a solid group of guys hanging out.
Remember to smile.

Listen to me right now anon. Call back those friends. Say you've changed your mind. You are going on that goddamn camping trip. You have this beautiful, gorgeous, rare opprotunity to hang out with yr buds on a camping trip and have a whooping good time, and yr coming up with excuses not to go. GO ON THAT TRIP. You are a good man and you will have a good life, but you've gotta put some effort in. This trip will be fun. It will help you forget your troubles, even if only temporarily. Solitude is addicting, you've gotta kick it while you can.

>>17022913
u should at least give it a shot

>>17022311
See you in the morning my fren

>>17022904
Go on that trip my nigga

>>17022904
I've missed many opportunities in favour of solitude. Sometimes it's worth it. I have to recharge sometimes. In the occasion you're describing, it wouldn't be.

>>17023037
Carpe Diem?

I love you frens. I go read pages and write journal.

>>17025170
It'll all be better one day

How do you reconcile that you don’t really like books, you are just an autistic outcast that can’t connect with real people and read books as escapism from this fact.

>>17022347
Same, about to get back on it just to have something to do though. I don't really hope for anything other than reading and having people fuck off.

>>17026386
I don't

now its my bedtime.
Good night, frens!

>>17022339
yeah, but we still have to go through it
