[quote]I know this may sound pathetic but it’s been plaguing me for a while and want to at least get it out. I really wish I had someone to love like a girlfriend, but no one seems to be able to reciprocate that same amount of affection. I’ve been feeling an overwhelming amount of loneliness for months and have considered suicide, but can’t bring myself to it for both moral and religious reasons. Few things in life make me actually happy or even complacent anymore and I feel like my grip on anything is slipping slowly just like my sanity. All this just to feel loved. Is this a normal thing?[/quote] Sadly it is normal, many people turn to different things to full this “void” we feel. For some video games, inappropriate web surfing, excessive amounts of hobbies, religious intervention, and many other things seem to help them. It’s different for everyone, but it’s important to know you aren’t the only one. Most of not all people feel that sense of loneliness. In my opinion the solution isn’t to try to get yourself a significant other but to surround yourself with people who care about you and friends you can be yourself with. That will be much more healthy until you find the right person that you want to spend the rest of your life with.

You should probably talk to a professional instead of the nitwits in this basement.

Listen I don’t mean to be rude but my dad is a chaplain, if you don’t know what that is, it’s someone in the military who mainly councils ppl when they feel suicidal or are having problems so bc of this suicide has been a big part of my life, I remember seeing a small girl when I was 8 and my dad came out, he didn’t even talk but apparently her mother commit suicide. For reasons I don’t know but ppl think it’s bc her husband was deployed for 14 months. So weather this is true or not she left her young child to mourn for her, why would she do that? Why leave her daughter in this world without a mother? My dad has also countlessly dealt with Marines who commit suicide bc of girl friends, they take a gun and end they’re life out in the training field at 3:00am. They leave they’re parents and family to mourn his death bc he broke up with a girl friend. Now bc of this I’ve never, ever in my life have felt suicidal, why? Bc In experience with suicide ive realized that nothing, [b]nothing[/b] in this world justifies ending your own life. It’s a selfish act, nothing more, nothing less. In the past 6 months things have come to my attention, things I won’t get into but my point, bc of this I’ve almost never have thought about my personal issues, bc I know that my problems are not even close to the problems that other people have, and I’m [b]not[/b] talking about Covid. As a solution, don’t take therapy, don’t get medical help, don’t take anti-depressants. Go to your family and learn what’s good, you want to be loved, your family loves you. Ask them and try to learn what’s important. Learn what you have instead of what you don’t. And I don’t know what you believe in but Jesus loves you, your not alone and there is no need to feel the way you do. Everyone has a tuff time, the most you can do is what I said and get by. [spoiler]I kinda feel like I’m gonna get banned[/spoiler]

honestly just keep your head up man, people will either love you or hate you in life. whats more important is to be someone that you can love. after you can love yourself, you’ll find it easier to love others and others will find it easier to love you. always here if you need to talk man🙏🏻 -Storm
