What do you think of the forever alone subreddit? Here are some of my thoughts

[LincolnClay]

Was originally a question, but too many words, so turned it into a mytake

Main reason i ask this question is because i can relate to a lot of the stuff i see on there. Only big difference is, my situation is more or less by choice. Not that i like it. In fact, i hate it.

If your unfamiliar with that subreddit, essentially, it is a place of absolute misery, where the lonesome and ostracized leave stories of their life.

Many outside of there don't take them seriously, believing that most are lairs or simply to young to experience true pain. And most may be exaggerating (i don't think most are) but even so, i feel that not all of them could be lying.

The ones that got me the most were the confessional types, like once i read a mans story about how he decided to kill himself along time ago. Has it planned out everything. The only reason he didn't was because of a relative, a sister or his mother, was on their death bed, and he wanted take care of them first. It also seemed that while he was in great pain, his relative didn't see that as a problem. For them, they only wanted him to keep live, during and after their death, so that they wouldn't have to endure his loss.

So he stuck around, but made it clear in his post that he would still end his life soon after they passed. And that got me thinking.

This guy, and many others like him, have gone through any and every bit of advice you come up with. Get professional medical help. Take pills. Better yourself, workout and practice your social skills. Travel the world. Find yourself, whatever.

And for years, decades even, they endured because people always just told them to get help, or that things will get better. But i feel like the hard truth is, some times, maybe not always, but some times, no matter what you do or how hard you try, there's always a chance things won't get bettet. A close friend might die along the path, the only person that ever cared about you. A drunk driver might put you the hospital with chronic pain. A mugger might shoot you. Whatever.

I don't know what my point is. I'm in a really shit spot right now, and it just seems like no one cares to try and care. Yeah, thats just how iy is some times, but it don't stop me from thinking how messed up it is some times.

No one wants to accept that life can be pure shit for some people, and that it never really passes. Even i don't want to believe it. But...

I guess i just wish things were different, not necessarily for me, I'm used to it, but i wish it was different for others. For everyone. I don't know what I'm saying. Sitting here alone, crying for nothing.

Can y'all just tell me what you think. Advice is welcome. But like i said, i am where i am because of me, and right now, i have no desire to change it.
