Back in highschool, I was very shy and didn't know how to make friends. During recess, I saw everyone in my year sit in their own groups already on the first day at school and meanwhile, I sat on my own at large empty table, eating lunch alone, watching everyone pass and go from the cafeteria before it was my turn. That's when school's janitors saw me and invited me to their table. They were a friendly bunch. For the next three years, I sat with the janitors, discussing my problems with them, and even while I was bullied for a year, sitting with those janitors at lunch were best days of my school life. Even after I found my own group of friends that I can finally sit and talk to during lunch, I'd still occasionally sit at the janitor's table and they would always look at me as if they're greeting an old friend. Fun times

@@zeth6311 I see you have inner strength but are on the outside quite shy. You need to put yourself OUT THERE. Girls love guys who have a good soh bcz they make girls feel more comfortable with them & puts them at ease. It's a non intimidating way to go about it. Just say something to put a smile on their faces, it will warm girls hearts to you & they will wait for YOU to ask them out. When a guy doesn't say anything much to a girl, they will take it as you are not interested in them. Be the first to initiate conversation & just ASK HER OUT.

After I had graduated, my dad pushed me into the military, to which I responded by leaving after less than a week of Basic Training. I have never been good with socializing, but it was there that I realized I wasn't just alone, I was lost. I got home expecting the loneliness to go away, and it didn't. That whole ordeal messed me up for a while, both the stress bubbling in me and the depressive waves that would and still do hit now and then. I've turned away from the "can't be happy if I'm alone" mentality, since I'm doing way better figuring it out by myself than any of the terrible influences in my life were doing trying to figure it out for me. I'm a security guard now, comfortably living at home, not chasing some job I don't want and fighting battles I don't want to fight, instead I'm making plans to get into conservation work. I love this planet, and I want to do what I can to help it. Earth is sick, and we should all do what we can to help her feel better, because then she can help us feel better too.

My mind suddenly started going to a very dark place and I started thinking about suicide, out of nowhere. The thought really started to grow and get more and more reassuring. I then said out loud "Jesus, if you don't send someone to stop me, I think I actually will kill myself now". a few seconds passed and headlights started shining on me. Turns out where I was parked was so secluded because it was in the vicinity of a military area and the MP's went there to arrest me.

8:45 "Less than a week later I was single by my own choosing." Good move. Anyone who cannot give you a straight answer even on the day of the event is someone you don't want to be with.

[@itami4190]

Mark Donald your argument is flawed. He’s saying if you’re in a relationship with someone who cannot give you a straight answer or is deceitful etc etc. it’s best you leave. Now whilst the partner in this scenario (relationship) might not love that person enough to give straight answers or tell them they don’t want to date, doesn’t mean she/her is incapable of doing that for a person they truly value. So just because she was snaking this one man, doesn’t mean she would snake another granting her “unworthy of love” you blew it out of proportion

One of my loneliest moments was in elementary school. I was 11 years old and the teacher hated me. During a math class she asked a question to the class, and almost everybody raised their hand. Because i hadn't been paying attention, i didn't know the answer and didn't raise my hand. She saw this and immediately singled me out and demanded an answer. After telling her i didn't know, and giving her a wrong answer, she made me stand in front of the class and said i had to stand there untill i had solved the math problem, which i wasn't able to do. For the rest of the class she sat behind her desk, patronising me, making fun of me, and almost encouraging the whole class to laugh at me while i stood at the front of the class with tears in my eyes. Eventually the schoolbell rang and while everybody left the room, i had to stay for a little bit. When i was alone with her in that room she told me "i know it's your birthday today, but i felt it was necessary to do this because you have to pay more attention in class". All i could do was run outside to sit behind the school buildings and cry. I'll never forget that moment. I'm 32 years old now and still feel that pain and loneliness when i think about that moment.

1st story really hit me. One of the last birthdays i had made me give up on people, but it brought me closer to my dad. My parents are divorced, but they both work their asses off to make a living. One year my family convinced me to celebrate, so I invited a bunch of school-friends, neighbors, family and family-friends for a cookout. My dad worked so hard to get all the food for the party - I’m talking patties, sausages, breads, lettuce, tomatoes, sodas, etc. he just really wanted to make things special for me, and was too proud to ask for help. I admire that dude so much. Anyway nobody showed up except my dad, grandma, brother, and a neighbor (not even the neighbor’s kids - who I grew up with). Mom and step-dad only lived 15 minutes away, they didn’t show up either. And friends? Well fuck them.

Even though i was a diligent student at school and an overall modest daughter she somehow got him to believe that I was always doing something wrong and was a burden on their family. Thanksgiving 2012 she, him, and their two kids went to thanksgiving dinner at the grandparents house, ate, had a great time. They left me in the house, didnt tell me they were leaving.

Back in 2016 I was very socially awkward and didn't have many friends. Somehow I met a girl one day while buying coffee and we started talking. A few weeks and some flirting on both parts after, I invited her on a date. Sandwiches, beers and the beach. I was super excited and felt I was progressing out of my socially awkward state. The day finally came and I though it was a bit strange that she wouldn't answer my texts since the night before, but she had a job, so I didn't (or didn't want to) think much of it. Needless to say, come the hour of our date, she never showed up. I had already bought sandwiches for the both of us, so I went to a very scenic spot on some beach cliffs and ate the sandwiches alone while listening to music. Although it was a very pretty afternoon and a sublime moment in retrospective, I felt extremely lonely at the time.

Not really the loneliest thing I’ve done exactly but the loneliest moment. A few weeks before my 16th birthday, my mom wanted to throw a party for me at Dave and Busters. I send out invites to over 70 people and around 40-50 responded and said they would come. About a week before the party, around 25 more said they couldn’t make for this or that reason. Understandable, people have lives, thanks for the heads up. Around 20 people left now and by the time to week ends, it’s only around 15 people who can come. On the day of the party, the only people who came were my girlfriend (now ex), her girl best friend and my godbrother. We spent over $2000 on renting out a room and only 3 out of a potential 50 people came. I’m now 19, but this experience made me see who my real friends were and made me say that I will never have another big party like that again for my birthday.

Its actually hard, more often than not, these people won't be open to you, not even to have a conversation. I get it, you may have social anxiety and are just awkward on social gatherings, but dude, that mean face is completely uncalled for, having a "resting bitch face", or whatever they call it now, won't make you more approachable, if anything it will only repell people from trying to start a conversation with you. If you're one of these people and just want to have friends, try to correct that face, maybe a slight smile when people look your way would be wonderful, even if you're embarrassed that you're alone. Normally, people would rather approach someone that is alone but looks shy and timid than approaching someone alone that displays that annoying look. Just try it out, being social is not an innate talent, it's just pure science, look into it, and fake until you make it. Soon enough, you'll find yourself quickly picking up on these social cues and slowly but surely starting to be more confident.
