Everyone talks of being lonely...

Idontknowwhattosay22 October 17th, 2023

Everyone seems to talk about it here, but it seems like barely anyone actually wants to change it. What I mean by that is I put up a pretty big post about friendship but barely anyone responded. Not only did I notice that about my post but so many others. I'm not exactly sure how threads work, if only listeners can reply or just anyone. Either way it's just sad to me...

On these threads both members and listeners can respond... some Long posts are overlooked and some people who are on here sporadically on may not see your post on top of feed etc.   some posts people may be feel they do not have much to offer the conversation.. 

Many people who are lonely are afraid to try much out of their own comfort zone ... myself included

i tried meeting a new IRL  friend we have a good afternoon but she has not reached out  i should i guess but i always seem to be the person who has to make contact / and all plans and i get discouraged in wanting a person to call/ text me first for a change.   But i will keep trying i feel people are not good at irl stuff anymore and while online is OK with different time zones etc you do not always get responses in real time and sometimes we need someone to get back to us and let us talk things out ....

What you are saying makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate all your thoughts! I'm really sorry about the girl you met up with... I know exactly what you mean. That seems like that always happens to me. I did this "test" almost a year ago to see if I stopped reaching out to family and friends if anyone would check on me. I think it was almost 2 months before someone did. I think I've been pretty upset about it sense then..
