Loneliness
recently I’m feeling really lonely
Like every friend (I have a lot more friends to talk to now) and family is going thru a lot and I’m just so afraid that I’m gonna make their conditions worse because I’ve been there having to provide for so many people and never having the space for myself, so much so that everything was just going to fall apart if I’m not doing it perfectly or if I’m not providing enough for others. That state is so painful and I don’t want to contribute to other peoples pain and don’t want them to go through that.. ugh… having to go thru intense pain is double bad because you have fear that they’re gonna go thru the same thing as you did if you asked for help, but you suffer more when you reach out (hold up I realized that there’s a passion in me to offer others compassion, it’s very fulfilling I guess)
And it feels like at the end of the day it doesn’t really fill up this empty hole inside my heart figuratively. Like I’ll never be able to have someone else’s love
Now that I really to you I feel like my emptiness isn’t going to kill me but now I feel like my loneliness isn’t valid. Suddenly it doesn’t feel that intense but it feels really invalid, I guess this is one of the reasons why I didn’t want to reach out. It decreases this feeling that my loneliness is valid
And another reason why is because it’s hard to receive a reply that I want, so if I reach out it kinda hurts both parties
And maybe loneliness is so comforting at the same time, cuz that’s when I really get clarity and less thoughts and get to journal a lot more… but it’s so painful and sad when I do that though
I guess another reason I’m feeling lonely is.. Like I’ll never be able to meet someone else that went thru so much pain and had the resilience of getting thru it, while wanting to give so much compassion because they know what it feels like. And it’s painful and difficult to find someone that went thru so much but is still standing, functioning well like I am, and trying to improve. And that it’s also a cisgender gay male.
