Anyone else feel alone?

[Anonymous]

I don't know why I’m even typing this, I don’t know what I expect. I lost everything about a year ago. Made a massive gamble on a partner to have them betray me and take everything so nothing unique. Since then I’ve just thrown myself into my work and I haven’t really got many friends left, my family has all moved on and I just feel so alone. I feel so alone it’s painful. I also feel incapable of making friends I’m not and if I try it’s pretty easy but I don’t have the energy to build those kinda bridges again that I burnt down for the sake of me and my ex fiancée’s future. I just work, workout, sleep and repeat and if I’m lucky I go out with one of my remaining friends and do something that we all enjoy but I feel hollow whilst doing it. I don’t want to die but I’m really finding it hard to live for something lately I lived for someone else for four long years so now I’m alone although I’m still moving forward and bettering my body my career my life it feels fruitless.

"Since then I’ve just thrown myself into my work"

Which is actually a good thing to do.

"my family has all moved on and I just feel so alone."

But why have they moved on? if you can't count on your family, well, there's your deeper problem than just this ex.

My family have got their own families to worry about and are just living their lives, plus through some of them disliking my ex and me defending her it’s put some extra distance between a few of us

You are right though, there probably is a deeper problem tbh

Just make acquaintances at first. People who enjoy some of the same things you do. From there genuine friendships can blossom, and in the meantime the company should alleviate the sense of loneliness.
