Search Results: losing a friend

This nation is in a very, very bad shape right now. People are deeply polarized; everything you do is expensive; and people have become more sensitive, reserved, and self-centered.

Neo-feminism has resulted in a lot of very lonely, single men. Sadly, I am one of those extremely lonely souls. It seems people don't want to meet or form friendships or relationships organically anymore. Online dating has destroyed the prospects for the average male, but it seems like the de-facto way of dating these days for my generation. In addition, with the uncertainties brought about by advancements in AI, international tensions, and so many issues domestically, I feel we are on the verge of societal collapse.

I have been losing more and more faith in humanity. Sometimes I feel I am living in the twilight zone. I was layed off recently, and since, I have barely left the house. Everything is too depressing. I have no motivation to work as I am burnt out, and I am tired of seeing all my peers I have known growing up get married and form families. It is incredibly difficult to make new friends as it is.

This young woman and I chat on and off. She thinks I am cute - she told me. She has said she loves me and misses me but I don’t know her well. I don’t say I miss you to someone unless it’s romance but she could be different with how she used the term. We are both left handed and she said it’s fate and laughed at it when she found out but she sent a love heart Whenever I write to her she gives love hearts. She sends me photos of herself and sometimes at random. She sent me a photo with her hiding her face - she is very active on social media and never hides her face to anyone else in any pictures so I thought it was kind of different. Why do I get this picture? Why hiding her face? Of course I hope she likes me but of course I don’t know Whenever I write to her she opens it straight away and either reacts to the chats or writes back Something happened which caused me to fear losing her because I do like her so I said to her I love you because she has said it to me before. I said it because I thought yeah friends can say that to each other. She didn’t say anything. She posted a meme about dating an older guy after immediately after I said ily to her. I am like 5 years older than her. I could be overthinking because I want to know the future and of course I want her to like me but yeah what do you all think?

Lately, I not only have I felt too lazy or just unmotivated to get any of my tasks finished on time (college assignments, personal finances, etc.) but I've also started losing a bit of interest in just about all of my hobbies that I enjoy and was passionate about and I've been preferring to just isolate myself from all of my friends and family. I've never gone to a doctor or therapist, but before I consider to go finally see one, are these signs of clinical depression
