Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

You aren't worthless and you can grow as a person thru lonely times.
It might've been easier for me going thru it as a teen. I was pulled from school and homeschooled, in the Texas countryside. I slowly lost every friend I had in school and there was literally no one else to talk to but my family.
I have a great family, but it wasn't a warm family. My mother was a very stern and logical woman and my father worked out of town a lot.
They both loved me, but my point is I spent years entirely alone.
I took walks and read books. It got easier.
Decades later I'm still kind of a loner but entirely by choice. As an adult I get flirted with and hit on often. I'm very careful about who I date because I don't need it. I'm fine being alone now, I only date someone if they are adding something to my life.
It gets easier being alone, you eventually start to prefer it.
