can we be friends lol???
2023 was a hard year for me. i had a couple losses that rocked me to my foundation. i’m finally feeling ready to socialize again…but it’s been a long time and im an awkward person.
my ex was my entire world and when that all ended i felt broken and lost. the realization that i lost everything and have to start from scratch again was a lot to deal with. having no friends has been a bummer. i constantly feel alone.
i just miss having someone to talk to and laugh with.
@raymond1203 I'm really sorry you've been through such a tough time. It sounds like you've faced a lot of heartache and the feeling of starting over can be incredibly overwhelming. But it's also really brave that you're starting to reach out again. If you ever feel like talking or just need someone to listen, feel free to message me. You're not alone in this, and sometimes just having someone to share a moment with can make a difference. Take your time, and know that healing is a process—you’ve got this.
i was just closing my eyes for bed when i saw your message. thank you very much. that means the world to me. you’re a really nice person.
@raymond1203 I understand what you’re going through. I recently moved and don’t have any new friends. It’s difficult making them as an adult.
yea it’s rly difficult. i do believe if we stay on our paths and stay positive and fun that once we get the ball rolling it’ll be no problem at all. kinda like riding a bike…a lil wobbly at first but once we get moving we’re good. i’m just rly struggling with this wobbly period lol i know ill get to a good place but rn it is rly difficult 😕
@raymond1203 That’s a great outlook to have. Unfortunately, I’m still in the “feeling sorry for myself” stage. If you ever want someone to talk to, I’m here ☺️.
i know what you’re going threw. i’m still stuck in that stage too. sometimes i feel better but i go back to that quiet often. i hope you’re having a good day. thanks for offering to talk i think that’s rly great 🙂
@raymond1203 My day is going okay. I’m currently looking for a new job which isn’t helping. Getting rejected a bunch isn’t boosting my self confidence lol. How’s your day going?
i’m at work rn. trying to get threw it. having quiet anxiety battles to myself lol i swear the only thing worse than working is not working haha but def keep your head up. don’t let this get you down. as long as you continue to try you will def succeed 💪🙂
@raymond1203 Thanks for your kind words. I did schedule 2 new interviews so I’m happy about that. I hope you were able to make it through work okay. I know being anxious while working isn’t fun. Do you practice breathing exercises or have a fidget toy? I know that helps me.
2 new interviews lined up is super great news. def be proud of yourself. i am! i know exactly how painful that process can be. just pushing yourself to apply can be tremendous work. i struggled with that a lot. i think you’re doing great
@raymond1203 Thank you for the kind words. I hope you’re having a great day!
i’m having a very nice very relaxing day. i don’t have work and it’s cold and rainy. so i’m doing around the house stuff today. kitten stuff.
how are you feeling today??? i’ll be around if you need help with any of the interview stuff just lmk…but i’m very certain that you absolutely got this no prob!! 💪👑
@raymond1203 I’m glad you had a good, relaxing day. It’s been snowing all day here. Pretty to look at, not great to drive in lol.
Aww what’s your kitten’s name?
I am holding in there. I’m trying not to feel sorry for myself. So I journaled and did some gratitude exercises. Thanks for the encouragement. The interview is tomorrow so I’ll let you know how it went.
How have you been doing mentally?
that’s awesome good luck and i look forward to hearing how the interview goes. i totally understand struggling with feeling sorry for yourself. i feel like ive been doing that my entire life. for whatever it’s worth, from my pov you seem really great and you have a lot of really strong qualities about yourself.
aw you got snow that’s awesome! i think if it was cold enough here we would have snow but instead it’s just cold rain. we usually get a couple nice snows a year so i know how annoying it can get lol it’s usually beautiful for about 3 days hahaha
my kittens are named Farley & Spade from my fav movies as a kid. they have been amazing. i was rly struggling with anger but once i saw them it rly softened my edge. i rem seeing them and immediately feeling “how can you be angry when you see something this crazy cute”. so now when i get frustrated i try reminding myself that.
@raymond1203 we're friends now, no question
yussss!! haha frfr i appreciate ya
Hi, Raymond.
I find myself in a pretty similar situation, and if you want to talk sometime that would be great.
thank you! that means a whole lot.
yeah last year and the beginning of this year were rly hard. i pushed threw and life today is good. so i dont wanna ignore my blessings. but it’s also very lonely sometimes. i appreciate ya reaching out.
i hope you’re feeling good today 🙂
