...See more I have signed up again with Bumble to use the friends feature. Now that I have I remember why I deleted my old account. So based on a picture you are expected to make contact. You can't look their profile or even interests. You see who you were matched with. So looking at everyone I find myself trying to find the most pathetic human being possible. Someone so self loathing they will consider being my friend.

...See more I listened to my morning affirmations today and they fell on dead ears. Each statement was a lie.  I am not hopeful. I am not overflowing with gratitude. I am not living a life i love.

...See more I have this feeling like anything that does not have a direct and measurable benefit is not worth doing. Common things like going to a party seem dull and uninteresting where special things like big trips don’t seem to be worth the expense. Why spend several thousands of dollars to be board in some other part of the world. Are the people there better in some way to the people where I live? What can I see that I can’t see on the internet? Is the food so much better? Because of this my life is work, eat, sleep with distractions like 7Cups in between. In 5 years none of the social events or activities that I have done has changed how i feel. I don’t know what to do.

...See more Which of these two situations would you rather be in? You are lonely but have no friends. You have friends but have no interest in spending time with them despite feeling lonely.

...See more I browse the forums each day and see many people that have worries, concerns or are simply in the midst of deep depression. I feel like i should post something but i never do. Part of it is the policy that says that everything you say must be positive even if something negative sounding is correct/factual. Its this judgement by staff of who's post is good enough and who's is not that gets in my way. My self confidence is almost nonexistent to start with. Being told that what i post is not acceptable reminds me of my childhood where good was never good enough. I have more experience with depression and anxiety then most people 58 years worth yet someone that might have never has clinical depression get to choose what is said here. I feel like my sickness is just not as good as others people sickness when it comes to this. If this was highschool and the Jocks didn't want to hang with me i could understand. This is a mental heath website and these are my people at least in the sense that we have one thing in common, mental heath issues. Yet i feel like i don't even belong here.

...See more I would be nice after answering the questions for the sign up to be able to read the profile of the person I have been matched to. I might get an idea if the persons methodology is right for me before i spend $159. Not that the price is bad its just that over many years wasted time with therapists that were not a good match.

...See more This summer my friend. Actually my only friend that I have had for 30 years has ghosted me.  We went to school together, in the past lived together, and up until this year saw weekly.  There is one thing bothering me about this is that it is not bothering me. For some reason I don't care one way or another. I know I should or at least a normal person would but it turns out i am far from normal in this respect.

...See more I am helping interview people for a position in my department. Its just a team asking a bunch of standardized questions that we have been given. What I realized is that I could never get a job were I work now. I could not pass the application portion let alone the interview and background check.  This will be the last job i ever have.
