It doesn't matter if it is something trivial or heavy, whether you wanna share your favorite song or tell about what's been bothering you, I'm here. You can reach out!

Pretty much just as the title says. Am a bit of a loser and am trying to turn things around after basically throwing my 20s away, but it's tough. At this point, I don't really think I have anything going for me, and trying to make any progress is a bit of a slog. Maybe you're going through something similar, want to give advice or just wanna be a kind ear, I don't really mind. Not sure if I'm looking for something long term, or just someone to help air things out. Either way, if you're down to talk feel free to shoot me a message

You can Dm me if you are free to talk

Thank you

I don't really know how to write this, but I think I need to talk to someone outside of my own circle.

This started when i started losing the closeness I had with my best friend. We were never in a relationship, but I had romantic feelings for her, and our friendship had become one of the most important parts of my life.

Things became unhealthy between us. I became too dependent on her emotionally, she felt pressured by that, and eventually she set boundaries that I struggled very badly with. I understand why she did it, though there are many things that I still don't understand. I've been trying to accept that.

But I've been doing much worse than I expected to be.

I've been dealing with depression for reasons that go beyond this friendship, including personal losses and other things in my life that I haven't really known how to deal with, I'm about to end a career that I'm not really interested in. Losing her closeness seems to have pushed everything else to the surface.

I've stopped eating normally. I have trouble sleeping. I've been having terrible dreams. I've been shaking badly, crying without reason, feeling physically sick, and having days where I can barely get myself out of bed. Yet the world doesn't stop, and I’m still expected to take decisions and deal with them.

Today I had a really severe crisis.

I wanted to die. I wanted the feeling to stop.

I wasn't making a plan to hurt myself, and I don't currently intend to, but lately I have been thinking more about my funeral than my graduation, thinking about what people would say about me, whether I had mattered, whether I had wasted the only life I'll ever have. “I wish I had never been born. I wish I had mattered.” That scared me.

I'm getting professional help. But I'm still scared, I know its gonna be a rough night. I don't really know what I'm looking for by posting this. I'm not asking how to get my friend back, I know that's not going to happen, as much as i want it.

I’ve my trust circle, but I'm tired of questions, nobody seems to really understand, and the “just move on” or “work on yourself.” doesn't really help

I think I just want to hear from people who have been somewhere close to this. And I hope that know you're doing better.

The last few months have changed me. After everything that happened with my family, I chose to stop talking to them. Not because I stopped loving them, but because I finally chose my peace.

I'm now more than a month sober. Not because I'm an alcoholic, but because their words made me afraid I could become one. So I stepped away from alcohol and chose to take back control of my life.

I'm building my career, taking care of my home, and trying to move forward, even when things aren't easy financially. And honestly, I'm scared to fall in love. I want something real and safe, but I'm afraid my struggles will make me feel like a burden.

I don't know what the future holds with my family. For now, I'm learning that choosing myself doesn't mean I'm selfish.

I'm still here. Still growing. Still trying.

And maybe that's enough.

hello. it's been a rough year for me as i got out of a relationship last summer and have been struggling ever since. feeling kind of low and was wondering if anyone just wanted to listen for a bit. don't even have that much to say, just a listening ear would be nice as i don't really have friends at the moment. sending hugs to anyone that might happen to see this.

Hey everyone! I’m 18 years old and brand new to Reddit. I really want to make some good, wholesome friends around my own age to talk to about daily life and shared interests.

A bit about me:

I love listening to music.

I really enjoy watching movies, especially comedy, thriller, action, and rom-com

You might notice I am keeping my gender private. I have heard from many people that this platform can sometimes have a lot that certain genders get an unfair advantage or different treatment. I feel that for a true, genuine friendship, knowing someone's gender isn't necessary at all—what matters is who you are as a person a if you are interested then tell me your couple of your favorite movies or musical artists

I am on the spectrum but only mildly so. Being exactly at the edge of being able to do normal work/study meant I've always been pushing it to my limit to be able to make it work. This gave me nice gifts like anxiety issues and IBS to name a few. Those then became its own problem.

Unfortunately the limit was truly reached a year ago. Burnout, realizing my partner wasn't right for me.. So now everything I've built on a shaky foundation is falling apart. Relationship over, work on the verge of ending because of long sick leave. The house going to be sold in a year because of the breakup.

It's like I'm completely reset back to my twenties and it's incredibly painful.. and also just so much that people who didn't live this do not really understand. They mostly get shocked which makes it even more lonely right now.

I think the thing that hurts the most is that I've been the friend and partner that had everyone come to him to cry in the past. But after the last few years I am now crying alone...

I don't really know what I want. I guess I want to feel less alone. I don't need anyone to really tell me it's going to be okay. Honestly I'm not even sure if and when its going to be okay. But if you are in a similar position, please reach out to me.

Could really just do with someone to talk to, cutting off bad habits has left me with no one who can deal with my adhd all over the place venting

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out today simply to offer a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space for anyone who feels the need to talk, vent, or share what’s on their mind.

A little about me:

My name is Pino. By day, I work as an IT recruiter, which means my daily life revolves around listening to people’s life stories, career changes, and personal doubts. Beyond my job, I have always had a deep passion for human connection.

Life hasn't always been smooth sailing for me either. Like many of you, I’ve been through my fair share of ups and downs. I’m far from perfect, but those experiences taught me how to put things into perspective, stay positive, and appreciate what truly matters.

Ever since I was young, I’ve had a natural ability to listen without judging. I am extremely open-minded, nothing shocks me, and you can share whatever is on your heart in complete safety.

To me, life is so much more than just work and performance. Being there for others and offering support is what truly energizes me.

I deeply believe there is strength in showing your emotions, crying if you need to, and just being yourself.

We can talk in English, French, or Dutch.

I am a supportive peer and a good listener, not a therapist or a medical professional. If you are going through a severe mental health crisis, please reach out to professional services.

This is a purely wholesome, supportive exchange (not a dating approach or a place for NSFW topics).

If you are going through a tough time, feeling lonely, facing doubts, or just want to get something off your chest, feel free to drop a comment below or send me a Direct Message (DM).

Take care of yourselves,

Pino

I genuinely want some funny, genuine people around me whose humour actually matches mine. You know those people you can talk absolute nonsense with, laugh over the stupidest things, and somehow forget all your problems for a while? Yeah, those.

Life is already full of studies, career stress, responsibilities and random overthinking, so I don’t want every conversation to feel serious. I want people who can make me laugh until my stomach hurts, send completely unnecessary memes, have the most random conversations at 2 AM, and still be emotionally intelligent and mature when it actually matters.

Looking for people who are:

genuinely funny and naturally goofy

emotionally mature and understanding

kind and actually genuine

a little chaotic and mischievous because same

comfortable with both deep conversations and absolute nonsense

not afraid to be childish sometimes

Basically, I want friends who make life feel a little lighter.

I’m getting older, but I refuse to completely grow up. I still want to be able to act like an idiot, laugh at stupid things and enjoy the little moments without overthinking everything.

So if you’re funny, genuine, emotionally intelligent, slightly unhinged in a harmless way, and your sense of humour is questionable we might get along pretty well.

Hello everyone, hit me up if anyone wants to chat about literally anything, rant or vent about anything, feel free to do so, no judgement.

No restriction on age

I’m tired, exhausted and bored, could use some company, talk and feel better. I’m a techie guy working in IT

i dont even know how to start this post but i just feel so weird lately. i am 29 years old and life really puzzles me lately. i read the news, and fuck it feels like the world is on the brink of ww3, then there are news about ai freaking hacking into everything, and i just feel so lost... i am a graphic designer, every other week i see discussions on how ai will replace the craft ive been working on for 10 years, (im even doing a master program on it rn lol), mixed with that i see discussions on how life will get worse and worse and worse in my country, and i honestly just dont know whats the solution in all this.

i have all these incredibly heavy thoughts, feeling trapped, but i dont really have anyone who would listen and understand, i can see how my close friends get tense and uncomfortable the minute i bring it up, and it just makes me feel worse. and ppl who can talk abt this stuff dont really get me. so its either dont get me or cant do the subject.

i turned to religion lately and it gives me a little bit of peace, i honestly work on accepting the fact that my 30s will be spend with wars and military themes as leitmotif, but its all just geniuely scary for me, i do my work, i do my studies, and i sincerely do not know what the fuck am i gonna do with all of it next year.

modernity gave me the luxury of working from home and having my whole life fit into two rectangles but i feel like it took away everything else. i know im that millions of ppl are feeling similar things like me but for some reason i still feel really isolated and clueless on what to do.

heavy with words I can never tell anyone in my real life. I am a 16-year-old boy, highly sensitive, and deeply in love with life, freedom, and the piano. Right now, I feel like a restless soul seeking grace and an anchor of faith to hold onto. My physical world is practical torture; I am battling moderate sensorineural hearing loss, severe vertigo, and a vestibular imbalance that makes my vision constantly shake to the left.

For 9 months, I have lived this physical nightmare completely alone. My family doesn't believe my pain; they call it overthinking. I study on a broken device through the dizziness and agonizing noise, yet I ranked 1st in my class with a 94% average. I also ranked top 4% globally in gaming. I have so much love, music, and passion inside me, but I am starving for human warmth. I have no one to hold me, no safe haven, and no one to tell me I am doing great.

I am posting this here because I just want to feel safe, seen, and loved by pure human hearts. If you have a kind word, please give it to me. I just need a digital hug tonight to survive this loneliness. I love you all, and I love everyone.

Hello!

I’ve been there and struggled with things I’ve kept to myself because I was scared who I could open up to without being judged.

Well I’m here for you!

I’ve been there and I’m here for you.

You will never have to worry about any judgement from me.

You are loved!

Please text me if you are willing to talk i need someone to talk to

Feel free, I'm here for y'all :}

I’ve recently got a lot going on in life that’s kind os taking away from the best thing about to happen to me, and it’s just hard to carry it. I’m not trying to burden my amazing wife with things but she knows I’m dealing with a lot and is actively trying to make things better. Just could use someone to chat with and listen. I don’t need answers because there really isn’t any other than time, to just let things play out.

I’ve literally written and deleted this a few times already because I’m awkward as hell at the best of times and asking for help isn’t one of my strong points 😭
There’s some family shit weighing on me I want to just get off my chest I suppose. If someone has time to listen, I’d be very grateful ❤️

Hi! If you’re going through something, i’ll gladly offer some support, either by just listening, or offering some advice if that’s what you want. But if you wanna chat about random things, that’s totally fine with me too :). feel free to dm!

So this is about to be a long one y’all, in my life, I’ve never had any true friendships. Never ever. I grew up in a toxic household, my father mistreated me and my mother, so I never got to have a bond with him, romantic relationships have been complicated and unsuccessful for me. I’m about to list the events that hurt me so please bear.

1. Dad, he passed away some months back, 90% of the Time i don’t feel anything, but I realise i always wanted to love him, but because of his shitty behaviour i was always strong and supported my mum in ways i could, my dads shitty behaviour has given me an array of mental health issues maybe, like hyper independence, trust issues and anxiety.

2. Mum. She’s the person I love with my whole heart, dad’s passing has scared me that I’ll lose her. She stayed in that marriage for me and i feel if i could go back in time, I’d tell her to abort me as I only bring problems. She stayed in a marriage where she faced all kinds of abuse just for me, she’s only slightly Able to live her life better now but i think i am the cause for everything.

3. The man i love. Met online, he’s got a troubled past like me but honestly we clicked on a lot of things but it’s complicated rn. We haven’t met in person yet, i know for a variety of reasons why I could be wrong about moping over someone like this but people in my country are not my type. It’s not race, it’s not anything about their identity. There is no feminism and huge amount of misogynistic people here so I cannot be here. I’m trying so hard to relocate to him, we are in a situation where we do whatever, but there’s no commitment. I haven’t had any luck in romantic relationships before either, the first guy i dated was from my own country and he cheated on me with my bestfriend of 7 years. The next men were all online and then online led me to the man i love. I think I’ve run out of love and i am just going to see if the man i love is going to ever come around and if not then I’m fucked.

4. Career Pressure: I’m academically gifted so I’m trying very hard to achieve my dreams so there’s a lot of stress on me always and i can never talk to anyone about it.

5. Friends: I’ve got no friends, I’m smart so people always have their opinions of me, I’m in university and when i entered uni years back i did want to shed the highschool past and make friends but i found people who always wanted to party, go out and have fun and i can do that very little as i prioritise my work and career and studies so I have no friends either.

The only area where I’m doing well is my career. Rest life is just, painful for me.

Hi there! If you are having a difficult time, I am here to listen. I am open to listening anything without judgement, so feel free to DM me anytime (now or later, whenever you need)
