348 | I'm going to my brother's funeral but I'm glad he's dead | This is a heavy one...
I'm( 21 F) going to my brother's funeral today against my wishes ( my family guilted me into it) but I'm glad he's dead.
I know this sounds cruel and heartless but let me explain. My brother (33 M) was a drug addict, any drug you can think of he has probably gotten his hands on. Since about 15 years old my brother has been on substances and actively rejecting help, straining our family.
I lived with my dad and my brother was in our lives on and off when it was convenient. He threatened my father with a knife many times, had freakouts while on drugs claiming that people were going to hurt him, etc. My dad took him to rehab multiple times using his own vehicle and gas even though we were dirt broke most of the time. And still, my junkie brother would drop out of rehab just to come home, steal our possessions and score more drugs.
When I was younger I feared being at home because I saw how violent, paranoid and angry my brother was. I would lock myself in my room for entire evenings just praying that my father wouldn't actually be stabbed and killed this time.
These are just a few examples of many reasons why I'm glad he's dead. He caused stress to our family, stole resources and trust for his own gain, so no, I will not mourn him. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | part3 | offmychest |
350 | Been amazing friends for 2 decades and Been into him for half the time | One of my best friends/closest friends since my preteens. When I realized I had a crush I never told him and I ended up with someone for a decade kept my distance and hoped the feelings would fade and it never did. Everytime I was single he wasn't and same with him. I finally got over my nerves. Even with distance I never moved on and I told him about how I always felt.
I found out he had been crushing but same problem both never single at the same time. He went through a hard break up and has lots of healing to do and I'm not sure if there's feelings still there and I'm not sure he knows either he's pretty broken over the break up. I just don't want to waste more years waiting for nothing to come of it but even when I have broken contact in hopes of moving on it hasn't happened. Advice on how to move on? Time and distance hasn't done a thing. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | part3 | offmychest |

353 | My first ever post. About my day | This is the first time I'm posting anything like this online. But from what I've heard it's important to share and not keep things bottled up. Lately I've been feeling very stressed, so I thought I'd share my journal entry with reddit community. See what people think or maybe in a weird way I just need the feeling that I'm not talking to myself.
Today’s been a weird day. It feels like I’ve made progress with my family but gone backwards with Partner . Yesterday I was able to share what I learnt through experience and immediately saw it help my cousin . In return, he hasn’t stopped talking to me about what he wants to do in future and general life also. I’m liking talking to him, for the first time I feel like he’s opening up to me. And tomorrow I get to show them my favourite movie. Rocky. The first time I watched it I was too young to understand it. I wasn’t sure what it meant. I guess I hadn’t experienced enough in life yet to truly understand what it meant. Sly who wrote the story wrote it when it was his last straw, a last attempt at not failing. I can’t even begin to imagine what he must’ve gone through until that point. I can’t wait to watch it again. Hopefully I will learn something. Hopefully I will teach my brother and cousin something through it. But most importantly, I hope I become a wiser and become at least a little kind, to myself and those close to me. Even strangers perhaps. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1.333333 | part3 | offmychest |
354 | Finding out some men get off on SA stories has made me spiral | I'm posting this from a throwaway because I don't want it associated with my main account for obvious reasons. I'm a 28 year old woman living in the US and some background on me I was SA'd by a family member from about 6-10 and once as an adult. This caused me to found a local SA survivors group where I've been working with girls trying to turn my own pain into other people healing.
I'd also been talking openly about it online and keeping an eye on DM's that way if another girl was going through it and needed support reached out I could help them. One day I get a DM and it's like...alarm bells start going off. Asking weird targeted questions about my situation, I click through their profile and it's full of rape fetish content. Needly to say I literally vomited. Now ever since I constantly feel this internal conflict between sharing my story to help others and keeping it to myself out of disgust. It was reviolating in a way I can barely begin to explain. Even worse I know sharing this, this will probably be viewed by one of those losers. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | evaluation | offmychest |
358 | Friendship issues? | I dunno, it's just the small things in it that make me feel off like my best friend always seeing my messages but never responding (I get she's busy sometimes but all the time??) it's four of us in total and I always hear how three of them go and hang out spontaneously but I'm never invited, I live a literal 10 minute walk away from one.
It kinda hurts but I dunno if I'm just being clingy and expecting them to hang out with me, we are all hanging out this Wednesday but I don't know if I feel like going anymore because I feel like I may just be singled out, it hurts more because I've known one for almost 9 years now and these others for just over a month but I feel like a bad person for just going completely silent on them but at the same time I'm sick of hearing about them all going out constantly and just being left on read when I said I wish I could've come | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2.333333 | part3 | offmychest |

361 | I haven’t heard from my boyfriend since Thursday night….what should I do? | Me and my BF have been together for a year we actually recently celebrated our 1 year last month. Also his birthday is next week.
When we spoke on Thursday night I spoke about missing him and he replied that he misses me too and that he was exhausted while he was working his night shift. I contacted him Friday with a usually good morning text before my shift at work and one I got to work at 12pm I notified him. My shift ended at 6 and still nothing from him. (Usually when he sleeps the rest of the day he will still message even to get up and pee).
I called him twice and rung to voicemail
I even drove by his residence and didn’t see his car in the driveway. So idk what to do? | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | evaluation | offmychest |
363 | Am i an awful partner? | So my partner (23M) and I (21F) got married about 7 months ago, and we’ve been together for YEARS at this point. i love him & everything has been fine, but recently we’ve been hanging out with a (new-ish) friend, we’ll call him Dave; the way he looks at me? I know it’s not just some friendly gaze, i’ve been dreaming about him every night & cannot get him off of my mind. Dave has a kid (we can’t have kids) and seeing him be such a good dad makes it that much harder; i don’t want a divorce, but i’m kinda stuck wondering what to do with myself? I also don’t wanna make the first move and somehow have been wrong, but at the same time i just KNOW he’s got to feel the same way, i just want him to know how special he makes me feel, and the flirting just makes me feel so, valued..😮💨 How wrong is this?? Do i make a move???

364 | Life is too much goddamn work. | And on top of that, I’m surrounded by toxic people. I’m sick of it. | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 1.333333 | part3 | offmychest |
365 | i think i have lyme disease and there’s nothing i can do about it | Before you assume, no i’m not trying to self diagnose, no im not a hypochondriac.
I’m a teenager, and i’m entirely dependent on my neglectful parents for medical care. Aside from that, my countries healthcare system is in a complete shamble.
As for why i think i could have lyme disease, i know what im about to say was immensely stupid but i knew nothing about the transmission of lyme. I was on FT with my then gf, and i found a dying deer mouse on my doorstep when i went to let my dog out. It wasn’t wounded or anything, but it didn’t run away from me and allowed me to pick it up, i assumed it was dying from old age or a non-transmittable disease. I felt genuinely terrible for it, i’ve watched my father use kill traps on mice and i didn’t want this one to die on cold stone. I held it for about an hour and a half, during this time i noticed (what i now know to be) an adult female deer tick crawl down my arm. Thinking it was just another bug, i just swatted it off.
this was a year ago now. I’m already disabled with a diagnosed chronic pain condition (chronic coccydynia), but since then i’ve noticed a gradual decline in my health. I’m constantly lethargic and in pain, my muscles are weak and my neck is always stiff. No matter how much i sleep it’s never enough, with a bunch of other stuff. I’m not asking to be diagnosed, I know i could be wrong but i also know my odds aren’t great. I’m just hoping things will work themselves out tbh. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | part3 | offmychest |
366 | My best friend is a troll | I found out my best friends reddit account. We have been through a lot together and have been in each others lives for 15 years.
I am APPALLED at how she handles herself online. She’s 32 years old. Preaches on and on to me about how terrible it is that her old friend group are toxic and spread judgement about her and others. Now she’s a reddit troll on every snark page just HATING on people who don’t know she even exists (mostly celebrities or random reality show “stars”). Idk what to do. I’ve completely lost respect for her. She just seems like such a loser. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | exploration | offmychest |
367 | I got friendzoned by the girl I've liked the most because I played it safe and took too long to go for it | I met this girl on Tinder 2-3 months ago. We instantly clicked, and went on two dates which were fenomenal. I had the most fun I've ever had, and I could tell she enjoyed it a lot too.
Seeing how well it was going, I didn't wanna risk it and go for the kiss by the end of it. We hugged and I kissed her cheek, but nothing past that.
After that things started going badly, and I just entered the friendzone. We are still friends to this day, and yesterday we went out to a street market for the night and I mentioned if there was a chance for us to be something more, but she told me that although she was very fond and interested in me the first times we met, eventually now she just sees me as a friend. I asked if going for a kiss the first two times would have helped developing our relationship in another direction, and she said she can't be sure, but might.
I absolutely adore this girl, she's sexy, fun, gorgeous and her positive energy is so damn good all I want is to be with her as much as possible and make her not lose her smile. But now it's too late, I fucked up.
It took me like 10 years to find someone that would make me as interested in them, and I am taking it hard. I know I eventually will move on, but right now I hate my past self and wish I had been a bit braver.
If this helps anyone to take the first step quickly, I am glad. Don't be me. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | part3 | offmychest |
368 | What do I (19) do if my younger brother (15) touched me inappropriately while he thought I was asleep? | Hello, last night, my brother (15) and I (19) were sleeping over with some childhood friends, a brother (21) and his sister (19). We were all sleeping on the same couch so we were all really close. Logically, I was lying between my brother and my female friend. All of a sudden, I started feeling somebody touching me inappropriately. It was my brother. At first, I thought “No this can’t be, he’s my little brother”. But it became very apparent. I guess he thought I was sleeping. I felt him touching my breast over the clothes and then he tried to lift my shirt up but my hands were over it. He noticed that and then he subtly moved my hand. After managing to do that I felt him touching...himself. He even tried to get into my panties. Tears were rolling down my face. I didn’t move. I didn’t think it was possible. But it was happening, I don’t know why I didn’t react. I even tried to turn away from him but he just started touching my ass. I don’t know what to do. I’m confused. Do I tell somebody? Our mom? Our dad? What do I do? Do I confront him? I can’t look at him the same, obviously. He’s acting like nothing happened. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | evaluation | offmychest |
369 | I'm about to go back home to my family and I'm afraid. | At the end of the month I'm flying back home to my family for summer break and I'm on full paranoia and anxiety mode right now.
I was free for most of the year, living on my own, drawing wherever and whenever I want, buying and reading art books, going to art galleries, and soon all of that's gonna get abruptly taken away. I'll go back to hiding all my art supplies, locking myself in the bathroom just to doodle, watching my words so my family doesn't know I've been drawing, pretending to be clueless when my pro artist mother and siblings talk about art stuff, etc. I know it's only for a couple months, but it's such a huge pain. I guess this is just a yearly thing for me now.
I just wanna be an artist so bad. The fact that I'm not is why they want me to quit so bad. And to think all this just because I quit art as a kid and only picked it up again too late. I never knew the consequences of that one little decision would cause so many problems for me so far down the line. | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | exploration | offmychest |
370 | I think I’m going to be alone forever | I know I have my family but I’ve never been able to keep friends for a long time, I have people that check in now and again but I don’t have people who actively seek friendship, my romantic life has been filled with abuses, and never feeling good enough. Every time I meet someone I feel them just wanting to use me for sex, it’s gotten to the point where I’m terrified of physical touch, I want people to want to be around me but at this point I just feel like I’m not meant to be with people. | ['Lack of friends', 'Lack of romantic relationships'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends', 'Lack of romantic relationships'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends', 'Lack of romantic relationships'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends','Lack of romantic relationships'] | 3.666667 | part3 | offmychest |
372 | A tiktok made me look at my breakup differently and my mind is in shock and awe right now | Context I got broken up with 2 months ago, ended on good terms but it got left a bit vague as to why I exactly she wanted to break up. Now today I’m scrolling tiktok as I’m bored and it was a girl saying “I wanted a different future that you didn’t but I love you all the same” and that hit me. That thought never even came to me that my ex maybe just wanted something too different for her future and was too anxious or afraid to talk about it.

373 | I feel like my best friend tolerates me because he has to | My best friend(m19) and I(m19) started living together last year and things have been good, but we had a few fights(a big one too) which we got over and are ‘good’ as far as he’s concerned. Thing is, since we got back from university(we live in the same town), i feel like he talks to me because we are in the same friend group, and only because of that. When I think about it, he never gave me a feeling that he likes being my friend, and we’ve been good friends for about 4 years… A lot of times my other friends comment that I would do more for him than he would for me, and that makes me want to pull back from him, but I always find myself going back and wanting him to give me a reason or something so that I know he likes to at least be around me. It feels like I’m friends with a wall, especially over text, where he completely ignores me or answers with one word texts when i ask him something. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1.333333 | part3 | offmychest |
374 | Im thinking of ending things | Im thinking about it, for sure. Doubt I will follow through with it. Everything is going wrong. My mom got diagnosed with breast cancer , my old roommate who began dating my best friend refused to pay me back on the last months rent/ utilities and went off on me saying horrible shit - so by default my “bestfriend” of 6 years blocked me and they both are no longer apart of my life. I hate my job so much, a job I once loved so dearly and literally saved my life. Im so anxious all the time. I only have 2 friends, and i live alone now.
I experienced genuine happiness in 2023 after escaping an abusive relationship. My entire life has been like this and I only had a year of happiness. I only had a fucking year.
I doubt I ever will, though. I ache for a happy ending, I want a chance to be happy but it feels like Its just downhill from here. But man, as someone who has attempted before this is the scariest feeling. Ive never felt this amount of dread and impending doom. I wish I could stop it. Also my therapist ghosted me right before all this began so lol ❤️ | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 4 | ['Not lonely'] | 4 | ['Not lonely'] | 3 | evaluation | offmychest |
376 | Is something wrong with me? | So I've grown up a traumatic childhood (I'm 18F) and still am dealing with a TON of crap, I've never been loved or felt loved growing up, always hit and yelled at, and more things I don't want to talk about, but there is something strange going on with me, I felt deep attractions towards fictional characters, for an example (Screech from Doors) and other characters, but screech is the most "Loved" one for me, I don't find actual people attractive in any way the way I find fictional characters attractive, mostly monster characters attract me the most, but screech I've been "hyperfixated" on, I have merch (unofficial) of him and I do things to them, for an example I own a smelly crusty plush of him and I've always did things to it, kiss it, sleep with it and treat it as a lover, which I don't do for an actual person, it feels so right yet so wrong, people don't like me for this behavior, I even take the plush to school and all that, he's always by my side, I feel so comfortable and happy around him, yet being depressed and having suicidal thoughts, yes this happens to me growing up, but I've always wondered why?. | ['Not lonely'] | 3 | ['Not lonely'] | 3 | ['Not lonely'] | 3 | ['Not lonely'] | 3 | part3 | offmychest |

379 | My uncle assaulted someone | Some details have been changed to protect my privacy.
My uncle was just charged with sexual assault of a minor. I don't really know the details, and quite frankly I don't want to. All I know is it was someone in his trust (think camp counselor to camper) and they had enough evidence to detain him. I'm just so shocked. He was always so fun and nice, and I never once felt unsafe around him. Clearly my intuition is off. I'm disgusted with him and honestly, with myself. I feel like I should've known something. I feel bad that I'm struggling to connect the fun, jovial guy I knew and this monster. Of course I believe the victim, it's just so hard to process. My family is on the fence about who to believe, and that makes me sick too. I know it's technically family, but how can you continue to claim this person as such? I don't know. It's all I can think about, and I want to talk about it, but nobody wants to bring it up. I'm just sad that I thought he was such a great guy, but clearly it was all a facade. It also makes me question everyone else; if he was so good at hiding this, who else could be? It's just all around so messed up. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | part3 | offmychest |
381 | Bpd = it’s okay to be emotionally abusive | My bf has Bpd. Six months ago, his episodes used to be really bad and he would just straight up push me to my mental limits when he’d split. We’ve been together for a year now getting on really well without many issues.
Last night we started bickering and out of nowhere it started happening again (over text) just tormenting me, making me feel unloved and worthless even after I told him how he makes me feel he still continued. He tries to get me to break up with him, and talks about killing himself by monday and threatens me (“or else”) if I call his best friend to go round his house and keep him company as I am too far away.
At about 4am I went to sleep because I didn’t want to give him any more entertainment of me begging him for normality and kindness. Woke up to countless missed calls and a few texts saying sorry and I love you. I don’t belive him for a second.
I just feel hurt by how he treats me when he gets like this. He said he doesn’t know why he does it or why he’s like this and I’m sick of it. I do everything for him financially and get him so much. I give him so much and give him a good life.
I don’t understand how to navigate dating someone like this if I’m honest, and if other people with bpd or people with partners with bpd could reply id love that.

387 | I now have anger issues | I walk around visibly pissed off. I scream in my car. I throw shit around. I deliver food 10hrs a day. I have a grad degree in IT and can’t land a job. I’m 33M and losing my mind.
The only peace I have is by hurting myself with exercise and the extreme tiredness at the end of the day. I want to tear the faces off people that don’t tip after wasting gas and time to deliver their shitty fast food. I used to make 35$ an hour and I make about 12$ now.
If this continues, I’m going to have a melt down. I’m far more angry than depressed but the depression just causes me to be angry at all time. I hate being poor, I hate being alone, and I absolutely hate every waking moment of my life.

388 | My "uncle's" family is abusing dogs | We share a house with my dad's brother who has a wife and son. They own 6 dogs. We always thought they were too many but the wife continuously showed her dogs off and posted about how much she cares about them and wants to rescue them. Some of them were purchased so not all were rescues.
Lately they've been leaving the dogs outdoors in the hot summer temperatures, in the haistorm, all night. Because apparently they've been making a lot of mess, peeing in the house and stuff like that.
I feel incredibly bad for them and when I told my family this I also added: If they continue these dogs will die. One of them had already lost a lot of weight because it continues to eat the poop of all the other dogs. They all poop in the garden. I don't know the last time they've taken a dog for a walk. They only did it in the beginning when they tried to show off.
My parents answered: they do hope the dogs die. It's not all of them, just the ones making a mess.
I feel really bad, I would never sue them or call animal protection because they are kinda confrontational and would immediately suspect my family.
My bf insists I call animal protection but as much as my heart breaks for those dogs, I can't create problems for my family.
The dogs also make noise at night in front of my window and wake me up and the entire situation is just unbearable. I'm incredibly mad over this but even more so because there's nothing I can do. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | evaluation | offmychest |

But man it’s really pushed me to the emotional edge today. Id never tell him that now, but watching him marry someone he actually loves killed me. Plus he moved her into the house I totally walked away from without a dime (before I was even out), and they worked together. So I’m sure there’s more than I’ll ever fully know.
And even 4 years out, I wish I could end it all every time I wake up.
Only the kid keeps me going..
He’s not being malicious. He just really didn’t love me, so I think he just has little empathy for the lesser woman he dumped and is just trying to share. We get along well enough.
Man. I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow. | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 1.333333 | part3 | offmychest |

It sucks out here…. I feel like the guys I always wanted to be with never feel the same and it puts me in this depressed and unworthy mood. Makes me feel like something is wrong with me and it sucks.

393 | They Apologized | So, in high-school someone who was one of my best friends informed me, in front of the entire friend group, that nobody liked me and just felt sorry for me. Cue Imposter Syndrome.
They've reached out a few times through mutual friends' posts, but yesterday they reached out to me privately, and not only acknowledged the hurt they remembered, but listened to the hurt they forgot they caused (medical issue with memory). We had a long conversation and they were so open to repairing the bridge.
This is a huge weight off my soul, my heart, and my mind. I know there's still progress to make, but this helped so much at a time when I'm already working on improving myself.

400 | I don’t trust doctors and nurses | A nurse told me that “No one will marry you” + laughed. Ironic thing is that she was herself super fat and ugly. I also experienced medical malpractice from some other doctor.
I did some research and find out that a lot of people had bad experiences with medical professionals. Many of them even got verbally abused. I know that some doctors are good but problem is that it’s all based on probability. So it is possible that you will always encounter shitty medical professionals. You never know if your doctor or nurse is truly friendly because some of them shit behind your back just like famous MD Tiffany Ingham.
I wish everyone live a healthy and pain free life so no one ever have to see medical professionals.

402 | Feel like outcast | I attended a friend’s wedding today and after the afternoon of socialising, felt very anxious and restless. So I think I have social anxiety.
I reflected on my past growing up years and there was a time in high school that I was the outcast. Literally had no one to eat with, even tried buying food and eating in the toilet so that I wouldn’t need to be the loner in the canteen. Tried to hit up my old friends in my previous class but got rejected. In group work, I was the “spare” that people will adopt into their group if they couldn’t form enough numbers to group with. Anyway, thinking about those times make me sad but now even when I’m grown as an adult, I feel like I carry the low self esteem and negative self-talk, especially regarding social settings.
I think I am naturally introverted which also contributes to the lack of desire to socially interact, but I still want to be loved and accepted by people around me..
What can I do to shake out of this? I just feel so alone in my thoughts… | ['Lack of friends', 'Lack of community or social support'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends', 'Lack of community or social support'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends', 'Lack of community or social support'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends','Lack of community or social support'] | 3.333333 | part3 | offmychest |
403 | Pregnancy is horrifying | I'm a girl and I think pregnancy is horrifying. Every single aspect of it, from conception to end, is just disgusting and horrible and unfair to the woman, but that's nature. Either way I think it's horrifying
I WILL NEVER get pregnant, I'm a lesbian, but it's still something I worry about happening to me by force against my will. I have OCD and its a huge phobia of mine. It is just something like a horror movie to me. I've lived with the most painful horrible periods, so bad I have passed out, so my reproductive parts already torture me and remind me about it. It makes me sick and i hate it.
But pregnancy? Holy fuck. Pregnant stomachs look so swollen and painful and scary. It looks so gross and stretched out like theres a fcking alien growing in it. I can't even look without feeling sick. The phrase "water breaking" just grosses me out like wtf😭😭 Then all the health affects from pregnancy and birth. The fact you can get diabetes from it, rip open from vagina to asshole, can't hold in pee anymore after, etc. holy shit. It even affects your brain!! I can't even imagine the pain from birth. But most of all you can just DIE. You can just straight up die.
Afterwards, your body will NEVER be the same, its permanently affected, all because some guy squirted goo in you. What the fuck

408 | When will I find love | I feel like finding romance has been so delayed in my life. I don’t think I’m an ugly or uninteresting enough person (which I’ve had a hard time believing I wasn’t for the longest time) to not warrant a good relationship. I just want to connect with someone on a deep emotional level because no matter what friend or family member I talk to, I just can’t find obtain that. I want someone who can appreciate the actual me and someone who I can be completely open with without feeling like I need to put on a mask. I also just really want someone to love… someone to hug… someone to cuddle and sleep with. I’m getting desperate after being patient for so many years. Only problem is, I’m stuck at home and don’t go anywhere. I’ve obsessed over seeking attention online which doesn’t fulfill me whatsoever and only makes my feeling worse. It’s been so long that I haven’t had a relationship that I’m genuinely scared whether I’ll be a good enough partner. I feel like I can be so selfish or narcissistic sometimes. My intention isn’t to make someone feel shitty or bored but I don’t really have the evidence to prove that I might be a good partner and I just fear that my bad qualities might affect our relationship. I just want someone who can open up to me as much as I can open up to them. Someone to bond with emotionally and romantically. Someone to laugh with and someone I could hopefully make laugh and please… I just don’t know when I will find it | ['Lack of romantic relationships'] | 3 | ['Lack of romantic relationships'] | 3 | ['Lack of romantic relationships'] | 3 | ['Lack of romantic relationships','Lack of physical touch'] | 3.333333 | part3 | offmychest |

412 | I no longer find my husband attractive. | We are both in our early 40s and I have come to the realization that I just don’t find him attractive at all anymore. He has seriously let himself go. He rarely showers and doesn’t brush his teeth or anything. So much so he’s lost many of them.
I have asked him if he is ok and tried to talk to him about his mental health and he says he is fine and no depressed. His excuse for why he doesn’t shower is that it’s cold in the house. The only time he does shower is if he wants to be intimate because I’ve told him that I’m not sleeping with him if he isn’t clean.
He used to care about how he looked and smelled when we were dating. He used to have his hair well kept and wore nice clothes. Now he just wears whatever if it’s clean and doesn’t care how is looks.
I try to bring it up to him but he says I’m attacking him. I’m at my wits end.

415 | I don't understand the fuss about people dying. | Something that always bothered me was how everyone is just so attached to their loved ones after death,or on their way to dying. I understand and recognize what "loss" is,but it just doesn't click with me. I hear people talking about loved ones for YEARS,and my girlfriend drones on about how it's a normal thing when friends talk about it.And recently she's been thinking about her elderly grandma,and how that will eventually be her dad,and I'm just sitting there,faking worry and understanding,when in reality,the only thing in my mind is "we are born,we live,we die."..No afterlife,no "soul",just a lifeless corpse.And to me,that's fine.
I'm okay with death,but I'd like to understand what everyone feels,you know? And I can understand people don't want to hear "why are you sad?" When they talk about about loved ones,so,I never get around to simply ask how it makes them feel. And yes,I've had experience with death in my family,and my response to the most important person in my life to die was "Ok." I just want to understand what it's like? Not making it sound like it's not heavy,I get it is,I just wish I could understand her pain,and not have it be such an alien concept. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | part3 | offmychest |

I text her the other night and asked her about a hair style I wanted and she said she agreed that it looked better on me currently. I wake up today to a phonecall from a number I don't recognize, I answer and it's her fiance, he starts saying if I don't stop talking to her he's going to call the cops and file harrassment charges on me, I say whatever and hang up. I text her and explain hey this is shitty and you should just talk to me yourself and explain things and that I don't appreciate getting a call like that, she says "don't ever text me or contact me again, goodbye" and so I just reply with a "this is pathetic" and delete all her info as I felt like that was best anyways.

421 | I have HPV, in debt, and still a student. | I'm in my early 20s and I've made decisions in my life that I'm regretting now. Surely it's my fault that I got hpv because of my carelessness in the past. H-word phase does really have its consequence when done in a wrong way.
I've been diagnosed few months ago and got my results that it is indeed hpv. I shouldered every expenses on those days and it just adds up to what my current debt is. My debt started when I was with my ex almost 2 years ago since most of the time I spent money for us and the debt isn't that big yet.
Now that we're not together, everything just piled up. From one loan app to another. Since I'm still a student, all the money I have is from my parents and some xx app that I'm not even updating anymore which is giving me enough just to pay the interest. In my course, it's not possible for my schedule to apply for part-time jobs. I'm also trying to eat healthy for my immune system to fight the virus as I haven't undergone surgery yet and I also need to save up for my vaccine. It's really hard to think that I cannot just tell my parents about these things.
We're a religious household and they would kick me out if they discover what I have right now. I just wanna get this off my chest since it's bothering me for a long time now. It's hard to focus on everything I wanna do with a heavy feeling that I don't know how long will I still live.
Now is a great realization that we should be careful of what we are engaging. Can't really go back in time to reverse everything. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | part3 | offmychest |
423 | I miss the Social aspect of gaming 5-10 years ago. | It's just gonna be a ramble I think. I miss having a social circle that constantly wants to play video games together. I don't care what games, a few many many years ago I had a friend circle that consisted of roughly 8 people. We'd constantly play games together but after they made accusations about my relationship with my gf and one of the guys in the circle was a constant verbal abuser and narcissist I made the decision to cut them off and leave them behind so I as a person could grow and not have them drag me down.
However my current friend group doesn't play video games enough to want to play games together. I finished elden ring, lies of P, and sekiro which all have BEAUTIFUL stories but then I didn't feel like I had anyone else other than my gf to show my accomplishments to.
I just want what I had a few years ago. A bunch of guys I had a good repor and history with and play games with frequently. Where when we plan a game night everyone can come. Or hell there were days in my old circle where someone would join a discord call just the hell of having a conversation while someone screen shares some games.
I guess if you read into it too much it kind of boils down to me wanting more friends who have similar interests. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1.333333 | part3 | offmychest |
424 | Husband didn’t want to go out with the kids and I and now wants us to go out with his family this weekend? | Last weekend I told my husband if we could go out with the kids. I'm home all day with the kids doing therapies since they are both with disabilities and he works night shifts and sleeps all day and is only "with us" for three hours. Weekends he has school from morning until 2 pm. We went out Saturday for two hours to go watch a movie (a date after months of not doing that since we were struggling financially) and Sunday came up so I thought it was okay to ask him if we can take the kids out to enjoy the day and he flat out said no cause it was laundry day. This week his mom called invited us to go out to her bf house and he instantly said yes. I find it unfair because I feel like he does more for others than he does for the kids and I. I know it's not his moms fault but I don't want to go because of the way he acts with us. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1.333333 | part3 | offmychest |

I remember arguing with my dad when I was younger that people aren't nearly as bad, cruel or egocentrical like he portrays them, but somewhere inside I already started rotting just like him. I always think that everyone and their dog is out to get me or scam me despite never having had any major negative interactions with strangers. I'm almost always pleasantly surprised when getting to know people better because usually my ideas of them were completely wrong and they're actually nice people.

This is basically what I’ve been told since my early primary school days to the end of secondary school last year:
“You look like a man”
“You look transgender”
“You look like a boy”
“Is that a he or a she?”
“I would never date you because I’m not gay” - said by a guy

428 | My boyfriend(that I was getting along great with) left me to do an overseas job | He specifically said he doesn't want long distance, as it would be too frustrating.
I am stunned. We were getting along great; he always how happy I make him, how he's never felt anything but peace in my present, how hard it is to find someone like me, how time spent with me feels like a holiday. We never had a single fight.
Then he got an offer for a promotion overseas. Now, if I knew it was truly going to make him happy, I would be sort of accepting. But I genuinely don't think it will; he doesn't know a word of the language(his job will be in English, but still), doesn't know a single soul there. Also, he is a person who deeply values comfort and work-life balance. He was making payments on an apartment in our home country. Just not "I'll uproot my life and be happy about it" material.
Most of all...I'll miss him. Our walks in the park, our late night talks, how he was teaching me to ride a bike and he was such a good, gentle, loving teacher. How we would hug and kiss when waking up. What a peaceful, gentle, understanding person he was. He really felt like family. It hurts suddenly losing all of this without having done anything wrong, and I just can't understand how can you just decide "Yes, I have this with a person, and I'm just ok never seeing them again. This job sounds too cool". I feel sad, and betrayed.
It's frustrating to see couples around me who get along much worse and still stick together. I also feel guilty for not being "seductive/addictive" enough to make him stay.

435 | I think I want to divorce my wife | For some backstory I was a young dumb teenage guy and my wife was a couple years older than me. She kind of pressured me into marrying her by saying that she’s depressed all the time because her friends were getting married and she wasn’t ( she went to a small Christian school so it was common for everyone to get married super young). I didn’t really want to at the time because I knew it was too early but I sold my car and bought the ring anyway (a 1990 240sx with a sr20det for those who care). A bit into us getting married I was working as an automotive tech and a coworker became my best friend and we hung out all the time and I noticed they kinda started being a little too friendly. A year or so of this goes on of just inappropriate talk right in front of me, purposefully leaving me out. She would say nothing is going on every time I brought it up but it was obviously lies. Her claim is that they had one conversation or Snapchat and one conversation where they were just talking about me. Obviously bullshit but this happened about 3 years ago or so I guess and I just know that there’s so much more I’m not being told but there’s no proof of anything. And I just kinda fake being happy but truly it’s really all I think about every time I look at her and i just feel like I’m not really happy. Idk I just don’t have any friends and I work for myself now (no longer an automotive tech) so I have no coworkers.

My friends talk about sex and they are getting laid every month.
I am struggling here just to meet my ends expenses. Fed up of being the good guy.
Someone please teach me how to get out of this hell.
Even my juniors have had threesomes and stuff like that.

449 | Should I be worried about my fetishes? | Sometimes I think I should be. I have a body swap fetish and a clothes swap fetish. I am a male, but I get off to the idea of switching places or clothes with my female friends. Sometimes I go so deep that I convince myself that I am supposed to become them.
I worry that this will one day affect any chance I have of a relationship. I'm in my 20s and have never been on a date, and sometimes I think my obsession with wanting to be another person helps cause that.
I have copied their outfits before, and wish I could spend a day acting exactly like them, but I worry tying to get them to play along with it would be deceitful. T
Any thoughts? Thankfully this is normally only when I'm in a horny mood and not necessarily a 24/7 deal. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | evaluation | offmychest |
452 | Feelings unwanted Volunteered for 6months hoping for a job when there was a vacancy. Now the boss is ghosting me | I volunteered for 4 days a week for 6months. Quit for a bit due to health reasons. I saw the vacancy recently. I got ghosted by the boss after asking about the vacancy. She always answers back fast- she’s chatty and friendly. Unless she had a heart attack or other crisis, I am taking this as rejection.
It reminded me that no one wants me around. Im not sad about that. I guess I should be upset that I can’t have my dream job. It would make me so happy to have my dream job. But I dont feel sad. Just a confused as to why they put up this facade to make me feel wanted. I like the truth. I don’t like pretences.
None of friends ask me to hangout anymore . Or even text me. I guess they aren’t friends any more.
I feel useless and worthless and like Im hindrance. But its not a bad thing. I used to perceive it as a bad thing. But now its sort of a fact, like you read in a textbook.
I feel like im seeing reality and becoming self aware. I am ok and accepting of this. But i felt like telling someone. | ['Lack of friends'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends'] | 2.666667 | part3 | offmychest |

454 | Seem like villains win in real life | My ex left me when I was 5 months pregnant and for the last2 years I slowly lost everything. I left my job after maturity leave he embarrassed me by sleeping with my coworker and my car being vandalized multiple times by one of his many side pieces. Our son is likely autistic and will be diagnosed soon. He doesn’t love our son he just tolerate him. Our baby is 2 and most of his “accidents” happen while with his dad. Like recently our son stim had started holding his head down combine with kind of eye rolling and the doctors are trying to make sure it’s not seizures. He had his head down in the water and his idiot dad thought he was blowing bubbles he was drowning. I called checking on him and that’s what his dad told me happened. I immediately picked him up and stop working for the night. After that I stop asking his dad to keep him. Which limit when I can work. I have to Amazon flex, DoorDash and Shipt bc it allow me to have my kids with me while I work and the schedule flexibility due to have two kids one I have to pick up and drop off from school and my youngest is in therapy. My old boss husband left her and it’s like she aged 10 years. My aunt husband cheated and left her and now she’s a functioning alcoholic. One of my coworkers husband cheated with his boss and left her and he’s happily married now with two kids. It just seem like the villains always win in real life what’s your thoughts? | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | evaluation | offmychest |
455 | Dog was run over today. She’s okay tho, but I’m not | This morning, she was run over just outside our house while mom was walking her. They were in the sidewalk but when she saw *this* van, she chased the van while she was on her leash. Apparently, the leash was too long causing her to reach the van on the road even though they were on the sidewalk.
I immediately took her to the vet, and was assured she’s going to be okay. Thank God!!! She’s a tiny dog and only around 4-5kgs. She’s really brave 😭
But I’m not okay. I can’t let my emotions out because 1) it was my mom who failed to pull her, and 2) it was pure accident because the van was running from the humps, so it was less than 10 km/h.
But I heard her scream from where I was inside the house. Remembering her scream in pain really breaks my heart. What if… she died right there and then? She’s my world and thinking of that possibility crushes my heart.
I really pray for her healing ❤️🩹 and for mine too. I forgive my mom, though. It’s not her fault. It’s not the driver’s fault. I just wanna let this off my chest.

457 | I feel like I’m a burden | This is my first post, so I’m really sorry if this doesn’t make sense I just need to rant and I don’t really have anyone that I can talk to, so here I am. I’m 20 living with my brother and his roommates, I babysit and do household chores in exchange for rent and his roommates are great but I feel like it’s caused some tension between me and my brother because I feel like he doesn’t want me there anymore, but I don’t really have anywhere else to go except for my stepmom‘s house and I really don’t wanna have to move back in there considering what’s going on with her and my dad and them splitting up while I’m looking for jobs. I haven’t really gotten any word back from anyone and I had a little bit of an attitude with him lately and I don’t even know why I’ve always struggled with my emotions and keeping them in control, but I feel like it’s all just worse lately and he texted me that he wants to talk to me when I get back home to his house, cause I’m housesitting right now and he hasn’t answered any of my texts asking about what he wants to talk about and I just feel like he wants me to leave and with all that’s going on. I just don’t want him angry at me or hate me because he’s really the only person I have right now and I don’t wanna lose him, but I feel like the damage that’s been done is too much to repair maybe but I don’t blame him for hating me if he does I hate myself too.

459 | Should I confess to my best friend? | Sorry for the bad storytelling skills, but I needed to get this off my chest. I have a best friend who is constantly there in my life. We talk about the most mundane stuff, and overall, he was a good companion to be with. The problem is, I thought I was gay; now I’m confused. Moving on, most of the time I thought our situation was platonic, and I did view it that way for a long time (severly in denial) because I just got broken up with them while I was friends with them. I don’t know when my feelings sprung, but I think it was when they suddenly became touchy. I did communicate about that being uncomfortable for me, and they eventually stopped and apologized. The problem is, I think I gained feelings after that! and I’m generally confused because I don’t want to be in a relationship with them. The reason is that they also just broke up at the same time me and my ex broke up, and I just don’t want to be in a relationship. It’s always in my head, though, and I can’t take it off about how I just want to get it out of my system, but I also read here on Reddit that it’s selfish to “dump” your feelings on another person. I don’t expect anything from this, and I talked to our mutual friend about this, and he just
ignored me (rude 🙄 butunderstandable). He doesn’t really know who i was referringg to when talking, but i think he got the gist. Please help me!
P.S: He’s very friendly and sweet naturally but I know he doesn’t feel the same way. It’s okay, though, because I just want to move on with this chapter of my life.

471 | What’s the worst part of loneliness for you? Yearning for conversation… worse part of loneliness (for me 🙄) | At this point, I’m addicted to Reddit. The engagement and quasi social interactions I use to seek on other platforms has been replaced by scrolling the infinite comments section that is Reddit.
But still… I find myself desperate for thought provoking conversations. Learned opinions and the exchange of ideas. I ask (imo) thought provoking questions to stir debate and discussion only to be met with “everyone is different, no one likes the same things”.
What?! Really?! Ground breaking! Thank you for letting us know individuals are individual 🙄.
I just feel like people can’t critically think or contribute to a thought discussion and instead of realizing their limitations they share that groundbreaking news.
All in all. Being lonely I miss most conversation that challenge me or at least actually introduce new ideas 😩

478 | trying is one of the most attractive things | Sometimes i think about this. people inherently wants someone who tries. someone who tries automatically has a chance for success. it's just an attractive trait.
if u scroll through this sub, 70% of posters are trying. like 'im trying to make friends, im trying to date, etc.'. Wow. That's actually beautiful.
I used to try in middle school, maybe early hs. but i dont care about myself. i literally do not give a flying fck. the only compass in my life is pleasure and pain. it's painful talking to people = isolate. It's pleasurable numbing my mind = scrolling, gaming, music. that sums up me as a person. i dont care about sabotaging a future self cause there is no future. just today. sure, i'd begrudgingly get a job if i was homeless next week. But unless it's necessary to survive tmrrw, it has no value. and no, im not gonna get better cause i'm not trying. Makes sense. why get mad or sad at a hopeless situation. It'd be painful to unalive, so I wont.
People that try are so brave. If i actually tried- and failed- i'd do the next best thing to unaliving myself. that's actually a crazy concept. I would never try.

I recently went through old journals from when I was a teenager (20 mumble years ago) and compiled a list of 250 songs I used to love... it's been a ride. I found a random number generator and that's how I've been experiencing it. It's a weird range.
Does any else listen to music from a period in their life when things were intense, listening with new ears? It's good, I'm not sad but lonely...I used to have so many people in my life then.

480 | wrote a poem about how I feel throughout my loneliness. | I see, as couples stride in their ardor,
I see, as others dissolve into laughter,
I see, as the world lives,
I see, as the clouds drift.
Why? I see, for I have no legs to run,
no mouth to scream,
no hands to reach,
no soul to experience.
I am but a spectator. I see.
I see, as friendships blossom and fade,
I see, as dreams ignite and shatter,
I see, as joy and sorrow dance together,
Yet I remain untouched, unseen.
Invisible walls encase my being,
A silent scream echoes in my mind,
A hollow heart, void of connection,
In this endless void, I am confined.
I see, but never partake,
I yearn, but never grasp,
in a world so vibrant, I am but a shadow,
nothing more than a whisper in the vast expanse.
I see, as the sun rises and sets,
I see, as time weaves its tapestry,
I see, but do not live,
Forever watching, never belonging. | ['Lack of friends', 'Lack of romantic relationships'] | 3 | ['Lack of friends', 'Lack of romantic relationships'] | 4 | ['Lack of community or social support'] | 4 | ['Lack of friends','Lack of romantic relationships'] | 3.67 | exploration | lonely |

484 | Is it possible to find a girlfriend if you are ugly? | In the last few years I lost a lot of hair at a relatively young age (M24) and now this sadly has made me look much worse. I don't really have the face for balding as I have a somewhat "feminine" face for a man.
I used to be able to (with a lot of effort) sometimes match with women and meet them. But slowly but surely it has become worse and worse and now I get almost no likes or matches, and the ones I do get either don't message me (Bumble)/don't respond or ghost me relatively quickly.
I sadly am also too introverted to ask girls out at university or such, and am not part of any friend groups there.
Recently I got really excited because a girl wanted to meet me and seemed quite interested, but she flaked on the day twice and said she would write me when she has time, but hasn't done so for a month now, so I don't think it will work out.
Do you think there is hope if you look unattractive for finding a partner that likes and loves you? I feel like I am not valued at all and currently find it hard to imagine a woman would still want to be with me looking how I am.

485 | I’m an ER nurse. I was called racist by a patient’s mother for simply doing my job. | Her 15 year old daughter had a textbook broken radius. With an injury of that magnitude, sedation is 100% certain. Which in turn, means no food or drink for 12 hours before. We can’t control what you do before you get to the hospital, but what we can control is what you do while you’re there as a patient. The patient was flagged in the system as “NPO”. Which means nothing by mouth. No food or drink.
I (31f) am a racist because I wouldn’t get her daughter a ginger ale. She told my charge nurse and everything, who in turn dismissed me from the girls care. When my charge nurse asked the mother why she feels that way, she screamed “Because my baby wants a FUCKIN ginger ale”
I’ve been doing this job for 9 years. I’m good at it. I know what I’m doing. I got the patient pain meds, 2 pillows, and an ice pack. I even helped her pee in the bathroom while her mother went outside to smoke a cigarette.
But I’m a racist because she wasn’t allowed food or drink.
This job is taxing. I wouldn’t wish some of these patient interactions on my worst enemy. It doesn’t matter the age, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Some of the people are downright cruel.

489 | Guy sent me home after sex and i feel like failure as a woman | Hello everybody
I'm 35, female, duagnosed last year with adhd
and autism
For context, I started getting into dating this year, in the past i only had a boyfriend for 6 months when I was 16 (I met him online and he was 23, different sensibilities at the time).
Men have never liked me: i'm what you would call a butterface. I either made them livid when I espressed interest in them, or i stopped existing once a prettier friend came into the picture.
I gave up on apps (men would match asking me if I was a guy, trans or saying "at least you have a nice body to make up for it i guess" i never put revealing photos up by the way) and recently met a guy at a boardgame meetup. We spoke the whole time and he seemed genuine interested. When the meetup ended 10 hours later, I brought him home and he offered to show me his cat.
We had a very nice conversation and then he came onto me. He was very polite but I kinda felt paralyzed: what do i do? It was so long that I had sex or just actusl affection that I agreed, but made clear i was not the type for one night stands and he told me he also wasn't (i'm very naive and honestly kinda dumb, i'm basically a teenager in an adult woman body, as I have no experience).
But he was so nice (the previous guy I went i a date with revealed himself to be a andrew tate supporter and basically told me to was his dishes like a maid, also implying he was doing me a favor by staying with me lol), I really liked him.
So we ended up having sex (i'm not very good at it probably) and he basically told me to stay there to sleep. Welp, at 4 am he told "maybe it's better if you go, I cannot sleep like this".
I felt very hurt: in my mind everything is my fault. I must have done sonething to make him uncomfortable. I asked him jokingly if this was post nut carità and he told me no, it wasn't. I shouldn't have, but I asked him if he wanted to hang out in the future without any pressure and he told me "cannot give you an answer right now" which, you know, fair.
I feel very stupid. Maybe he just sent me home because he was sleepy and I made the situation weird? I should not have slept with him, i'm so dumb.
I realize the pattern happens often: men compliment my body (and body only) and want to just have sex, but i'm not girlfriend material. Usually I manage to just say no, this time i was week.
Sorry for the rant i just feel useless as a woman. I wish I had a pretty face, maybe i would be more valuable. | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 2 | ['Not lonely'] | 1.67 | exploration | offmychest |
491 | I sent a dead rat to the man who was grooming me as a teen and got away with it | I doubt I can get in any legal trouble for this, it’s been almost 18 years since but I’m using a throwaway account all the same. It’s also not something I want to be traced back to me or my family.
When I was 15 I was in a relationship with my neighbor who was in his late 30s. I believe he started grooming me when I was 13. Anyway, his wife was getting suspicious so he broke up with me. I was heartbroken and furious because I thought he loved me (yes I was very very stupid). I tried several times to get him to be with me and when he wouldn’t I went to his work and left him a gift box. Inside was the dead rat with a note card that said “A rat for a rat.” I also threatened to tell his wife and kids and I'm not proud of that but at the time I was very desperate. He worked for his parents at a garage and I imagine other people saw it. He was beyond pissed and went to my parent’s house banged on their door and told them I was sending him dead rats. They asked him why he thought it was me and why I would do that. He said someone saw me do it but he couldn’t prove it and had no reason for why I would be sending him dead rats. I played dumb so my parents didn’t believe him. They did ask me if my friends might have been pranking him. I regret lying to my parents. Part of me wants to tell them but I know they’d be heartbroken to know this happened to me so I think they should never know. Besides my therapist, and my husband no one knows. Now that I’m almost as old as the man who groomed me it’s settling in how much he manipulated me and everything that he stole from me. I used to feel guilty for hurting him but not anymore. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | exploration | offmychest |

I’m not exactly sure how updating posts on Reddit usually works, so forgive me if this is weird/ not the norm.
In the past 3 days, I have been able to inform everyone who needs to know of my plans.
This includes my job and my leasing office. Because I’m moving back to my hometown I’m having to find work there, but thankfully my managers are very understanding and supportive of what’s going on. They first and foremost want me to be safe. My leasing office is helping me find a way to discretely remove myself from the lease so I can get out.
I have begun recording everything, either on my phone or in writing. My mom is helping me with plans to get an attorney for custody. My dad and stepsister are helping me slowly move things out of my current apartment, as my stepsister live in the same town I do and can take things from me and bring them to my dad to store until I leave. I’ve started applying for jobs in my hometown as well as housing. I saw the comments warning me not to wait until he has a job and you’re right, but I do plan on waiting until I have a job to secure a future for my baby and myself. Thank you to everyone for the well wishes, miraculously since I’ve decided to leave he’s decided to act like the model father/boyfriend, but it’s only been 4 days and I can tell that’s waning. I will keep you all updated as things progress. Wish me luck | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | exploration | offmychest |
497 | My ex murdered someone | The title pretty much says it all. I found out yesterday, almost two months after it happened. So many of our mutuals could have told me, but didn't. I feel fucking sick.
He and I dated for over a year. We spent every night together, traveled together, made plans together. Eventually we broke it off but remained friends until I entered another relationship.
The murder was incredibly brutal, and I don't even want to go into detail because it was all over the news. What he did was cruel, callous, and left a 1 year old child without their parent.
The worst part is someone sent me an article that had a video of the incident. Watching him, someone I once loved, take an innocent person's life absolutely gutted me.
My heart is broken for the victim and their loved ones, but I can't help but feel heartbroken for him too. A part of me always had a soft spot for him, and always wished we would get back together someday. This makes me feel immense shame, because logically I know he deserves the hell he's currently living in.
I'm fighting the urge to write to him. He's a fucking monster who destroyed a family for no good reason. Why the fuck do I want to talk to him? I've never experienced grief like this. | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | ['Not lonely'] | 1 | exploration | offmychest |
500 | My boyfriend's entire family hates me because Im poor | me(f24) and my bf (m26) have been together for 6 years. His family are well off and have respectable career while mine is poor.
I dont really live with my family anymore as I was able to make a decent living for myself. I am in school right now and I support myself financially 100%. My goal really is to become a psychologist but I am too far from that goal yet as I need to take things slow in order for me to manage both school and work.
My bf on the other had is still starting out with his life (a different story for a different time) and is really making an effort to find a job. Currently he is being supported by his family.
His family never failed to point out multiple times of how I cant afford a decent living for the both of us, and how poor I am and of how I dont have a bright future ahead of me unlike them being medical doctors. They also think Im a gold digger.
Me and my boyfriend dont have plans of living together yet or starting a family. We have discussed that we need to be stable first before moving in together and we are working our way on that.
My bf defends me and is on my side, But I guess what they said is really affected me and brought myself to a downlow and I just dont know how to lift myself up from here.
