When did you realize that you are on your own?

[Wild_princess]

When two of my very closed ones broke my trust, i was beyond shattered but after that i realised that noone in this world is for you and with you except yourself ❤️

Before the age of 8, my parents were compassionate and protecting and loving but once I hit 9, I moved to a new school where I lost all my friends, my dad was always away on work trips and my mom began to verbally abuse me and neglect me while my dad was away on business trips. I did not became mentally normal again until around 36 years old because my mom and dad abused me when I was young and a child with no religion, in my younger years, I did not know how to defend my mind and body from them.

When I was very young, just a little girl. My father abandoned us so it was pretty obvious at that moment that I was on my own. I have always had to work and take care of myself. My father never paid child support 😪 so I had to get a job at age 16. Mom worked, but didn't make much money, so we really needed my well deserved child support from that tight ass!!!

I was 10 years old and it got manifested when i became 15 years old.

Aggressors and hostiles everywhere except in empty spaces. And people fear being friendless and alone.

[Unit1]

Thanks for that

[Wild_princess]

No probs😉

At age 16, I started college 350 miles from home. I was unmistakably on my own at that point.

[Wild_princess]

You really did hustle😊

[OlderAndWiser]

I refer to it as "running away from home."

[Wild_princess]

May i ask why?

[OlderAndWiser]

It was an unhappy time in my life. I needed to get away from home and this made it a legitimate thing to do.

[Wild_princess]

I takes lot of courage to do so...😊

[Wild_princess]

*it takes

[Wild_princess]

@OlderAndWiser sir your bio is cute... i hope the best gor you

[Sonorous]

When certain obstacles caused certain people around me to show how dispensable I really am to them.

[MementoMori777]

It's better with no friends, at least for me it is, I still got fam so I'm not on my own and even if I didn't I'd still have God so I'll never be alone but that doesn't mean the feeling of loneliness goes away forever but it's controllable, I hope you find the same form of peace from it, wither that or I hope you make new and better friends

[glennos89]

I feel you I lost within 2 months time 2 of my closest relations and that makes you think twice about who you are as a person and where you stand. Its a tough cookie to swallow but it will heal and make you stronger in the end. I like to see it as part of yourney. Some will come along and others will leave. What matters is that you are moving on

[DizzyDesii]

I think I always knew but it really got shoved in my face in 2010

[Nikki1989]

I have always refused to let that happen to me.

When i was a kid, i found that you can have friends around but when the chips are down all your friends will got bat shit and try to hurt you. The only person you can trust is yourself

[shades777]

Thats a very Housewives of LA example but I realized I was on my own when I was homeless in Boston for a year and had to fight to survive and make enough money to eventually move back to my home town.

When I got out of high school and did not have money for college.

[warsevf]

You are always on your own for some stuff. So why not keep the guard up for all the other stuff. Backup plans are a must

[Jltakk]

24 onwards. I've accepted my situation no matter how bleak. When I look to myself it's like staring into the abyss. I'm on my own to the point that I'm not even hanging with myself.

[Anonymous]

I'm not. Not completely anyhow. I have God who's always with me. And I have my family who always have my back. But yes, there comes a point when you realize you should only EVER depend on yourself. It didn't happen in one moment.

[Natiii2023]

When someone told my dad that I’m old enough to do things on my own. He always is super protective

[andreasderjuengere]

I must have been 6 or 7 y/o, I reckon.

[Christoff92]

People that Stereotype you 😐

When my dad died, September 16, 2014.
