Life sucks when we get to our older years and have nobody we can count on. We are just alone and nobody really cares.

@bgdave

I am sorry you are feeling that way ... I think as we age some people are not always aware of keeping in touch or remembering we all could you a person for support or just to talk.

I find some times when i feel that my circle is either busy or not responding .. is it that they are busy or perhaps going through things themselves .... i found my most supportive friends are sympathetic but the timing of my need to talk of chat does not fit into their time frame.  

I agree with@toughTiger. I have too many problems to list here but rarely hear from my kids or my friends - largely from work and I only recently retired. It's as if I disappeared or didn't exist They were so willing to help when I was working but now I don't matter. I am reminded of the last stanzas of the song ”Cats In The Cradle” by Jim Croce.

I feel the exact same way. When I was younger I had so much more friends and support, and now I have nothing. I’m married and have been for 20 years now, and I don’t even have support from my husband anymore. I can’t talk to him about anything anymore, talk to him about my life or my problems. In the beginning of our marriage he loved to hear everything, but now it’s such a chore to him. I’m just so alone now.

i don’t have family I can reach out to either. I try all the time, but they never respond, or they’ll respond weeks later, which isn’t helpful at all. I feel depressed and lonely all the time.

I wish I could afford some kind of therapy so that I could have someone to talk to about what I’m going through, but my insurance doesn’t cover very much of the session, so it’s a very large copay. I just feel stuck in a circle of this, and I don’t see an end. And I have no idea what to do or how to make my situation better.

I have a lot of medical problems that prohibit me from working, so I can’t make friends that way. I’ve tried other ways such as Bumble, but people on there just talk for a few sentences and then never respond again. Everyone I’ve seen on *** is fake.

If you need someone to talk to I’m here for you ❤️. I’m a good listener and I’m a very empathetic and sympathetic person. I can fully understand what you’re going through. I have a few mental disorders, and while I’m on medication I still struggle.

@bgdave i m sorry to hear you are going through that i understand  how though it must have been for but know you dont have to go through this alone we are here for you and i hope things can go your way soon.

@bgdave Hello, sir! I understand that feeling of being overlooked and ignored, my friend. It's a common experience in the human condition. But let's delve into this feeling of worthlessness for a moment.

Consider this: Worth is a concept, a label we attach to ourselves based on how we perceive our interactions with the world all around us. But worth is not something you possess or lack inherently. It's not a fixed commodity!

You are, in your very existence, an expression of the universe. The same cosmic energy that flows through the stars, the trees, and the oceans flows through you. You are a unique manifestation of this grand, interconnected dance of existence. Your worth is not determined by external responses or validations.

Now, let's explore this moment where you feel like nobody responds. It might be an opportunity to dive deep into the solitude and silence. It's within these moments of quietude that you can discover your true self, beyond the expectations and judgments of others.

Don't let the lack of response define your worth. Instead, consider that this is a time to rediscover your own inner richness, your passions, and your self-worth, which comes from acknowledging your existence as a vital part of the cosmos.

It's in the stillness, in the depths of your own being, that you can find the wellspring of your value. You are not worthless; you are a beautiful and unique expression of the universe, waiting to be recognized by the most important person in your life: you. 🌌🌟🌿

Ikr. Life is just ***. What is even the point of life, I don't understand.

It's too hard to survive in this world , and the world isn't even worth it. Gosh.

I hope we both can find ways to be happy.
