Life sucks sometimes

I am glad to hear that you are managing to survive in a challenging setting. It is commendable that you continue to progress despite the difficulties. I understand how you feel, as many people here have expressed similar doubts about the purpose of it all.

ty tho
feeling like i'm just surviving tbh

Thanks for getting me. Sometimes I just need to let it all out with a big ol' cry fest because feeling alone even when people are around can be pretty rough. Having a soft spot and caring about everyone seems to come with its own set of challenges, you know?

I guess I'm wondering if anyone needs some help maybe?

Yeah, totally get it-feeling super alone and like there's nobody who really gets me or supports me is honestly the worst.

What kind of assistance are you looking for?

Regret letting toxic friends in. Thought they were okay at first, thne they turn venomous. Wonder if I'm dumb for always repeating the same misttake

Sure, take a step back and see if there's something within yourself that might be causing it. Maybe you're overlooking a clue or two?

You are correct. Whenever I attempt to uncover the reason behind my feelings, it only leads to greater despair. Perhaps the issue is that the world does not align with my expectations. Thank you for your understanding and support.

I am happy to help. What other reasons can you think of?

Same here. Wonder if there's something off with me. Too nice to my buds, maybe that's why I miss seeing their true colors from day one

I was wondering if any of them are people I could talk to very openly with?

Yeah, I totally get what you're saying. People can be pretty confusing sometimes, right?

You might find someone if you try.

Hi there, are you just looking to vent or do you want some feedback?

If you're hoping for suggestions, maybe sharing more specifics about your situation could help. Someone else might have been in a similar spot before and could offer advice on how they got through it

I've noticed that no matter how much effort I put into things, I always seem to get ignored. It feels like there are so many people who have these masks on-they look friendly to your face but talk behind your back or try to bring you down. Even some folks give you compliments at first, but then later show their true colors. Maybe it's just me though, i guess.

Wow, I totally get where you're coming from, i mean, sometimes i find myself feeling pertty optimistic too. But honestly, when it comes to new friendships or even acquaintances, i would say just take it super slow. You know what i mean? Maybe before diving in and sharing all that personal stuff, hold back a little bit until they've shown you they're legit trustworthy.
And maybe if you do this, soon enough, you'll start seeing some small wnis popping up-that'd be pretty cool to watch happen, right?
So yeah, just think things through first. Be cautious but not overly paranoid-just careful. And hey, i really hope all your efforts pay off and that everything works out great for you!

I guess you're totally right. It's really hard to tell sometimes if our close friends are genuine or not, especially when they can change so much unexpectedly.

Take it slow. Watch how they act when you're pissed.
Notice their response in arguments.
See what they do after you share something personal.
It'll tell you if they're good or not.

When I'm feeling down, it feels like they're cheering. Why am I always picking friends who end up causing mroe drama than joy?

It is not your fault if others misunderstand your openness. Remember that you deserve relationships with kind and considerate individuals. If someone does not treat you well, they are not a true friend.

Hard to believe people exist who get me without even knowing me. But then I wonder if life would be easier without those friends. Maybe no problems at all. Don't know what to do with these thoughts.

Pray God protects me from struggles and gives strength. Tahnks for the help, really means a lot.

I am not religious, but I am open to listening and offering support.

During my healing process, while it did not completely resolve everything, thee was a need for me to express certain thoughts, both internally and externally to those who might relate.

One approach is to write a letter. You can choose to do this privately in a journal or share it online anonymously on platforms like this one if that feels right. For instance:

Dear enemies,

You believed you had control over me,but I could see through your actions all along-your bitterness, sarcasm, and mockery, even when you thought I didn't notice.

Your attempts to hide your insecurities were evident; seeing aspects of yourself in me scared you so much that instead of being kind, you chose to belittle me. You underestimated my perception-you saw things about yourself that frightened you, but rather tan connect with me, you sought to diminish me to boost your own ego.

True confidence does not rely on putting others down. It is about uplifting and supporting them. I am beginning to realize that perhaps I have more self-esteem than either of us anticipated.

Isn't it ironic how little you know about me compared to what I understand about you?

Something along these lines, in your own heartfelt words, could be therapeutic.

Thanks so much! Its totally cool if religion isn't your thing. Reading what you wrote really boosted my spirits, and now I'm feeling a tad less frazzled.

i think sometimes it helps to share those feelings that aren't always easy to tlak about, if you feel like it. maybe this site can be a place where you can let things out when you need to.

Let it go; don't worry. How are you today? Do you have any pets?

Sick here, no pets. Weekend?

Oh man, I'm totally stressing out about my job lately. But hey, let's chat about something else for a sec-would you ever consider going back in time to the 1980s, when there were no smartphones or any of today's tech? Why would you choose that, or not?

I just wanted to say, sorry for jumping in here, but I definitely feel like I should. But you know, I can't really do that, so maybe it's better this way for now.

Oh no, sweetie, I'm thrilled you chimed in! If only I could travel bacck to those times, everything felt so sernee and lovely then. Nowadays, it's just one big machine world with constant noise-it feels like we're hurtlng toward some kind of downfall. If you had the chance to jump into the 80s or 90s, who woould you want to meet? What things do you miss doing? I'm super curious!

Your question ain't easy.

I was a kid in the '80s, tough times but loved it, got good memories.

Teenage in the '90s, best era ever for me, world too.

Then 2000s hit, things changed fast. I've wondered why depression and madness since then.

Life became simpler, mundane,even evil now.

But for me, everything's complicated.

Only have vivid '90s memories. Pace of life, people's relationships, values, views all different.

No internet back then, no arguing or bragging online, real connections mattered.

Wanted to go back badly but can't.

Suddenly realized I lived in that era, he doesn't exist, and I felt better.

Still think today's world sucks, but I don't need to suffer over it now.

It gives me a chance to build my own.

World isn't just money and exploitation, destruction for profit.

It's the entire universe from birth.

Oh right, back then the internet wasn't realy a thing yet for most people-I remember we had to communicate in totally different ways than what we're usd to now!

You're lucky to grow up in the 80s and 90s. Back then, communication was real. Today, we have everything but still lack something. Some memories from childhood are beautiful-happy days filled with smiles make me emotional. Do you believe in reincarnation? If it's true, I don't want to be human again because being a good one is tough

Yeah,lately I've been thinking about reincarnation too. And you know what? It's crazy how some folks believe we're stuck being humans every time we come back, but I think there's potential for more variety-like becoming something totally different. The big question is, can we even influence where we end up in the next life at all?

I mean, wouldn't it be wild to pop into existence as a completely new person? Like maybe reincarnating as someone from anther part of the worlld with a totally different background? But then again, who knows-maybe after a while I'll find myself wishing for something entirely different, like being a cloud floating around up there. Isn't that just nuts?

Wow, the cloud formations are so wild today, right? Seriously, thinking about being reborn in a whole new place is mind-blowing. Like, imagine showing up somewhere completely different with no memory of who you were before-it's crazy to think about. I've got some good times from my life if anyone wants to hear them, like that one trip to Florida when we caught the perfect wave-priceless moment honestly. As for believing in a soul or God, it's such a personal thing. For me, I find comfort in thinking there's something out there bigger than us.

Being born as a cloud just popped into my head somehow. Maybe because clouds seem like they have it easy and get to float around without a care in the world. At least from where I'm standing down here on Earth.

Speaking of stuff like this, when someone brings up God's existence, I always think of what Jung said: "I don't believe; I know." If I truly believe that God exists, theen it follows that souls exist too-probably not just for humans either.

But talking about happy moments? That's tricky because they're usually really detailed and kinda messy with all sorts of contradictions and unclear bits. And honestly, sharing socially acceptable facts like "I was born, went to school, graduated, bought a car, got married" isn't what I'm into. Even though there are good memories tied up in those events.

Sometimes happy moments feel made-up too, but hey, it's my world. You might relate or maybe not?

I think clouds are pretty cool and free. You know what though? Knowing God is definitely better than just believing in God-I'm sure about that. And the existence of a soul, well, I do believe in it. When it comes to happy memories, I guess they might be those small moments with my family and pets. Life feels like it's starting all over again for me, you know? I really love my little world, which is far from the nooise out there. If reincarnation were possible, maybe I'd want to come back as a tiny flower in my next life.

You know, I was kind of hoping someone would ask. Do I have a connection? More like I'm obsessed with reliving the glory days-or maybe just nostalgic daydreaming.

You know, I've been thinking about how much I didn't exist in the '80s and '90s-it's crazy to think about all the stuff people experienced back then that I missed out on. Sometimes it feels like they got to live through something so magical compared to what we have going on right now. And even though I'm very much a part of this centruy, there are times when I feel sort of detached from everything around me, you know? Like, maybe this time frame just wasn't really made for someone like me.

You're young.
Seems thoughtful and sensitive.
Dream big about everything.
Want to live in another time? Dream hard about that era.
Think of being a flower? Pick colors, life, beauty.
Imagine actively.
Create your world.

Reading what you wrote left my eyes filled with tears. It is difficult to believe that there is someone out there-whoever you are-that sees me as thoughtful and sensitive. Perhaps it's this same kindness and sensitivity that causes me pain at times. Every line you wrote was beautiful. You are truly kind, thoughtful, and wonderful. Thank you for your words-they meant more to me than you can understand.

I mean, I get super lazy sometimes and just zone out-honestly, it's my guilty pleasure. But you know what? When I'm in that zone, I end up thinking a lot about stuff and people, which is kind of interesting, for me at least.

Have you ever had one of those moments where something totally unexpected but ammazing just happens?

I think I might be overthinking this, but could you maybe explain what you mean by the word "miracle"?

Miracle is when you feel God. Complex shit though.

Sorry, I don't really feel like I can fully answer that right now. It would get too long and complicated. But in a nutshell, I think some pretty amazing things have happened to me if you know what I mean.
I'm not sure though, maybe I just dno't have enough experience to say for certain yet:}
Have you had any miracles happen to you?

It's like feeling God's presence, yeah. Unbelievable these days, but sometimes you experience stuff that feels surreal and way beyond normal thinking

Oh man, sorry about those typos-honestly, my brain must've been wandering somewhere else when I typed that up.But hey, no biggie really; you know how it goes, right? Two little words from you are more than enough to make everything okay. And you know what's wild? There's just some stuff out there in the world that blows your mind because it's way beyond anything we can even begin to imagine.

If you ever need to vent about stuff or have questions, I'm usually hanging around-feel free to hit me up!

I'm down, got a kind heart but keep running into scumbags. Sometimes I can't stop crying, feel so alone with no one to turn to, life sucks

I guess if you need someone to chat with or get some feedback from, let me know how I can help.

Also, it feels like you're just touching the surface of bigger issues-like there are problems all around-and people might be taking advantage of you because you're being kind. Maybe if you're looking for support, it could help to be a bit more open about what's going on in your head.

For instance, why do you think things are happening this way? Why do these views stick with you and not others? I mean, maybe exploring your own weaknesses could give you some insight too. Just talk about whatever feels right to you-I think being free to express yourself can build confidence, and having that confidence can make it easier to be open and honest.

I understand that everyone faces difficulties in life, but I feel uniquely separate from others. Perhaps I just don't know how to appproach these challenges effectively.

I have supported many people through tough times, hoping they would move forward with their lives. Yet once they achieved what they wanted, some forgot my support during those difficult periods. Some even treated me poorly afterward, as if they hoped for my faliure.

This makes me question whether being kind leads to such treatment. Why do some hold resentment against me without reason?

Despite going through these experiences repeatedly, I find myself stuck in the same cycle. Even though I try to learn from past mistakes, I seem to repeat them. As a result, I spend more time dwelling on my past and worrying about my future than truly living in the present.

If you keep finding yourself stuck in the same rut, then maybe it's time to rethink your direction and chart a new course.
Don't give up hope-just trust that things will fall into place eventually.
There's this awesome Chinese proverb I once heard: do good and throw it into the river.
It's not always easy to foollow in real life, but if you really think about it, the message is pretty clear.
Do god simply because it feels right, driven by your own moral compass, without expecting aything back. No strings attached, no calculations involved-just doing what's true to your heart, knowing that even if soemone responds negatively, you've still done what's bet.

Yeah, totally agree with you-I have zero expectations these days either.

Things will improve. stay hopeful

thanks a bunch, anyway, i mean really, you're the best

lmk if u need anything else bruh, lowkey feel like i got it all covered fr
