I am so fucking lonely it hurts and I often think about killing myself to escape the heart and soul wrenching pain that it is becoming and getting worse day by day….
Something really embarrassing that happened to me that no one probably remembers, but I never bring it up out of the fear that they might.
This was in middle school, so I’ll remind you that my geography wasn’t that great (although it hasn’t improved much to be honest lol). We had a big project that was most of our grade where we gave a 10 minute presentation on where our parents were from. Thing is, we had to memorize it (no flash cards). I studied hard, practiced a bunch of times, and was ready to ace the presentation. All went well throughout, and surprisingly had no stage fright or any problems like that. I was super excited when it was finally over, but before I sat down, my teacher asked me (and everyone else after their presentation) to put a pin on the large map in the back where we were from. This is the part that got me. I guess I was so focused on doing a good job on the presentation or something, but I could NOT FIND THE COUNTRY. Made an absolute fool of myself trying to find a place to put my pin for a solid 3 minutes. I took so long that the other presenter started their slides. I finally panicked and decided to put mine with the majority of the pins and rushed back to my seat. I don’t even think enough people were watching or cared that I was still up there finding my country of origin, but once I finally got up to return to my seat, I saw them all looking at me. Most embarrassing idiotic moment of my life I’ll never forget, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!
I just want to stop feeling so insecure all the time. If I could quiet the constant self-analysis—even just for a moment—I think I might finally be able to breathe and feel some peace.
I hate how “being reachable 24/7” has become the norm. Like I miss the days when you could just not be available and it was totally okay. Now if you don’t reply in 5 minutes, people think you’re mad or ignoring them. Sometimes I just want to exist without notifications.
I’m so tired of being the strong one. The one who checks in on everyone, who makes sure everyone’s okay, while silently falling apart. I wish just once someone would notice that I’m not okay, without me having to say it.
Haha this cracked me up. Reddit always delivers.” “True! I never thought about it that way before.” “Honestly, this is one of the best takes I’ve seen today.”
That i am in a relationship with a woman i love and a child together but I am questioning if we are right for each other. She likes going out to family events and will spend a whole weekend hanging with family or cathing up with her friends. I prefer being at home or just doing things together solo. I don’t want to spend all weekend hanging out with her family, i like her family so no issue there, but i just don’t like going all the time. I feel i am letting her down and maybe she needs someone more outgoing. I always feel awkward in group settings. I over analyse every part of my part in the relationship and i can’t get out of my head and all I want to do is run away. I love her dearly but don’t want to always disappoint her
My housemates make me miss living with my parents, until i visit them and am reminded why I moved out but at least I can express my opinion to my parents. I can tell my dad to turn the volume down when he watched facebook vids full volume but cant tell my housemate not to talk on the phone on speaker full volume 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I moved to a new state and it’s been so incredibly hard. I’m scared I’m digging too much into my funds and as much as I love it here, I feel like I’ll need to relocate within the next year in order to save as much as I can. Life is so unpredictable right now and I’m scared 🙁
I blew it with the love of my life. It was around 15 years ago. I didn’t know at the time that I needed some therapy, and she did too. We were madly in love, until we weren’t. We were young and both of us could have benefited from some counseling. Then it ended in a gods-honest destruction that would be a major motion picture. My dad still tells me that I should write a screenplay about it.
I’m still not sure how I feel about it and it’s over a decade later.
I recently got sober and holy FUCK, now I’m having dreams about her again. I thought I was done, but apparently not.
The struggle to be gay in this. Not being able to find someone who’ll love me back. On top of all that there’s continuous struggle to being a doctor in these modern times

I’ve had manic depression for 18 years now and it’s kept me from keeping jobs and partners and supporting myself. I did get two college degrees that I’m proud of but I’m lonely, tired of waking up, having all my relationships getting ruined, and am just loosing energy to keep going. I’m scared of loosing my parents who support me but are late 60s and late 70s
I love my boyfriend so much but his depression is taking a toll on me. It hurts that he won’t be completely “present” for big milestones in our lives. I can’t imagine what he’s going through, and I am always here for him. But I selfishly also am hurting as well having to constantly care for a partner who is so down all the time. I don’t need advice, just venting 🩵
I miss my parents. I moved to the other side of the world nearly 10 years ago, but as my parents are aging it’s becoming harder being away from them. I’ve made a good life in the new country and would never move back to my original country, but I’m missing them more every day. We visited a year ago, but it’s too expensive to go regularly.
Whenever I do something that upsets my boyfriend, I make sure to never do it again. Whenever my boyfriend does something that upsets me, he’ll just say sorry but do it again later.
I love him to death and don’t ever wanna leave him, (we’ve been together for nearly 2 years now) but I wish he would mean it when he apologizes. Cause if you say you’re sorry, but do it again anyway, then you’re not sorry.
I went through a 3 year period where I lost 2 aunts, 3 uncles, both grandmas, 8 friends, including one in an accident in front of me, culminating with my brother/best friend passing away. I feel like I exist to exist, going through the motions because the alternative would hurt my parents. I feel like I almost never feel genuine happiness/fulfillment. I’m on meds, do therapy, and am hyper self-aware, but I just think this is the way I am now.
My now ex-boyfriend (M23) broke up with me (F26) again and I can truly see and understand that I’m the problem. Maybe not to the full extent my negative, critical self believes, but my ex made it known that it stems from my family.
I love my family and have always felt that they would always be a problem for my future relationships because they’re pretty dysfunctional. He pointed out how negative they are and how they hold me back. How I let their words dictate my opinions, that I always worry about what they think about me, and that I always let them get in between our relationship, but most of all I never stood up for myself or him.
They never liked my ex, but he is everything I am not and I always liked that about him. He stands up for himself and what he believes, he doesn’t let others get to him, he’s focused on his goals and even when it’s rough he perseveres. I know the way he challenges my family and doesn’t take crap from them really makes them angry. But I truly feel like he’s the one, we spoke about this and we still love each other. We still want a chance, but we thrive more when we’re away from my family (I live with my mother).
I know I need to change a lot about myself and I really do want to change. Not just because he brought this to my attention, but I’ve always felt this way, tired of the same old cycle/patterns with my family. I know I need to put some distance between us because I need to start setting boundaries. But I have no clue what I’m doing in my life and change makes me feel upside down.
If anyone else has gone through something similar I’d love some advice to help better myself and my situation.
I miss my old best friend. I’m sorry I cut you off, and I’m sorry I blocked you. But you were wrong speaking to me like that, and after every time I had to swallow my pride and apologize when I wronged someone/especially you, I at least deserve an apology. It’ll hurt, but I refuse to let it go.
I don’t know if I’m cut out for all of this. I’m scared all the time, I’m so nervous all the time, I’m so tired. I hate it. I just want to cry, but I can’t. There are so many problems in my family and I really don’t want to add more. I’m really trying, I’ve been trying to move forward with my life, but it’s so hard. I’m so frustrated with myself. And I know most of my family doesn’t believe in me, that tears me apart. It’s so discouraging, I feel like I’m falling behind. I know I’m still young, but I really don’t think I’ve got it in me to live how I’m supposed to. I’m just tired.
I quit my job over 18 months ago and I’ve been struggling to find full time employment since. This shit is keeping me awake at night and it’s slowly eating away at my life savings.
Boss man suspended me after his favourite put in a complaint against me. Clear favouritism and abusing his authority, but what can you do? After 8 weeks of suspension and no news on when it would be lifted I decided to just quit myself. I wasn’t very happy there anyway and there was clear bullying going on.
I’ve been struggling with some freelance work in the last 18 months, I’ve moved to a new town to live with my fiancée (might as well. No job holding me back) and since I’ve moved I’ve not had any luck at all freelancing.
Funnily enough, I had heard from an old work mate that dickhead boss had quit a year ago, and I’ve since reapplied for a job in one of the branches in my new town. I was hopeful as I’ve got 6+ years experience and know the company inner workings.
HR told me that because I had left the previous job whilst under suspension and disciplinary investigation against me, I’m blacklisted from ever returning.
I asked for all documentation regarding said investigation as well as what the outcome was. All I got was a bunch of redacted stuff with no way to clear my name with the company, unless they had the unredacted files themselves. Essentially I was told to fuck off and never come back.
What was my dreadful crime? The incident in question that my colleague complained about was because on one day during a heavy rainstorm, a couple of teenage boys came to the office door trying to shelter under the front awning of the building. I let them inside, made them some drinks and allowed them to sit in the empty meeting room for 15 minutes until the weather cleared.
In that time, I had to excuse myself to answer the phone, left the young men unsupervised and one of them got into the staff kitchen and stole my colleagues breakfast bars.
When they had left the premises and I was cleaning away the pots, I noticed the empty box of breakfast bars and threw it away.
The following day my colleague asked about the bars and I just told her the truth and assured her I would replace them the next time I’m in the office.
A week later I got suspended for gross misconduct and misuse of facilities.
Tell me that’s a crime worth firing a guy over. I dare you!
My manager really underappreciates more than half of the people who work at my job. She only appreciates the people who k8ss her ass, even though she has no idea on anything she’s doing. Also I’m giving my 2 weeks notice today (4/18)).
I just want to relax just once and sleep without worry I don’t remember last time I slept without getting drunk or high..I just want to leave everything and take a break just for one day
I’m so bored with life, i’m a neet and spend my days browsing on reddit or trying to fish and failing, everything is so boring. I only know two people, my mom and my fishing bud, and my mom just wants to read books and drink tea, and i’m ashamed of having aspergers given that a swedish school shooter had it and now i’m probably gonna get bullied for it. My mom is probably gonna lose her job cause of ai and i just want something bad to happen to me so people can care about me. Also i’m tired of having to check for penis plugs in my rats everyday.
I know the truth. A truth that could destroy but I’ve spent so long masking and playing my part of ignorance. When does the facade become the new reality?
Parents favoritism towards my sister made me despise them all. My family is better off, you can all stay in that small town 1000miles away for all I care
it brings sadness when i think of the condition of people. everyone’s hurt, angry, and holding onto trauma. hurt people hurt people. i was one of them. i wish i could hug every single one of you that are hurting from something that has happened to you. i pray that you heal from it and change your perspective to see the beauty in things around you and especially within yourself.
I’d like to believe I deserve to be happy, but everything in my life has pointed to the contrary. My friends tell me I deserve happiness, but I can’t deny the evidence.
It’s hard to keep trying to be better when it feels like nothing I ever do is good enough.
I wish I could stop being a political fucking football. I just want to exist as the girl I am. That’s it. Instead I have to deal with intense panic anytime there’s an election that ‘yep, this is it, this is when I lose my rights.’
I want to feel more confident in myself so that I can live the life I want – finding love, marriage, kids, pursuing a career in the field I feel passionate about.
But between a disability, medical problems, getting out of an emotionally abusive relationship, and ending my time caregiving for a parent for half my life…yeah I’ve lost just about all hope.

Gyno in the right nip.
I’m clogged with tasks, I can’t stand myself like this… I 3 days to do nothing so I can reset myself…

Oh and I cheated on my diet I guess

Phlegm
I’m tired of being the one who holds it together while quietly falling apart. No one ever asks if I’m okay — they just expect me to be.
Nothing rn
I am about to stab these scissors deep into my skin until I fucking pass out
The cat. He’s heavy.
Patchy hair and gyno
I was SA when I was in School multiple times, my teacher knew what happened and he did nothing. I can still feel the stuff 12 years later.
No one knows about it
This beautiful blonde who fell asleep on my chest after we made love…I’ve gotta pee….bad..
My GCSE’s. I just want them to over.

I still miss my ex. We used to have really great foreplay involving chastity.

My manboobs.
I don’t want to live with my family anymore. But there’s nothing i can do about it atm
I’m tired of feeling the pain of having to let someone go recently. I just wanna fast forward to not thinking about them
I moved to a new state and it’s been so incredibly hard. I’m scared I’m digging too much into my funds and as much as I love it here, I feel like I’ll need to relocate within the next year in order to save as much as I can. Life is so unpredictable right now and I’m scared 🙁

I’m 39, and I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I’m convinced I’ll be on my deathbed still deciding.
I’m tired of being “alive.” I’m ruined, and I can never be fixed. Death is the only release from this. I cannot be forgiven, nor redeemed, nor fixed.
I want a do-over or an ending. And the former is not possible, so for the latter, I desperately pray.
I’m tired, boss.
My rotwieller he ain’t a puppy no more

To be braver in what I say. I think I hold myself back too much because I’m scared about the responses from others.
The phlegm that keeps me coughing

My tits. I really want that mastectomy.
I just want to know why I’m scrolling Reddit at 4:38 AM when I should’ve been asleep hours ago. This has been happening quite a lot lately.
My man boobs.
Dieting is so hard omg 😭
Nothing…. But I wanna get on a cbest
Broke up a few days ago and god it hurts like hell. He’s a really good man and i regret not treating him better when we were together.

I quit my job over 18 months ago and I’ve been struggling to find full time employment since. This shit is keeping me awake at night and it’s slowly eating away at my life savings.

Funnily enough, I had heard from an old work mate that dickhead boss had quit a year ago, and I’ve since reapplied for a job in one of the branches in my new town. I was hopeful as I’ve got 6+ years experience and know the company inner workings.
HR told me that because I had left the previous job whilst under suspension and disciplinary investigation against me, I’m blacklisted from ever returning.
I asked for all documentation regarding said investigation as well as what the outcome was. All I got was a bunch of redacted stuff with no way to clear my name with the company, unless they had the unredacted files themselves. Essentially I was told to fuck off and never come back.

My third nipple.
I just want to relax just once and sleep without worry I don’t remember last time I slept without getting drunk or high..I just want to leave everything and take a break just for one day
I’m so bored with life, i’m a neet and spend my days browsing on reddit or trying to fish and failing, everything is so boring. I only know two people, my mom and my fishing bud, and my mom just wants to read books and drink tea, and i’m ashamed of having aspergers given that a swedish school shooter had it and now i’m probably gonna get bullied for it. My mom is probably gonna lose her job cause of ai and i just want something bad to happen to me so people can care about me. Also i’m tired of having to check for penis plugs in my rats everyday.
Now that I’m over 30, I don’t think I’m as sharp for WoW anymore 🙁
I miss using drugs. Cocaine & Vicodin I miss the most. Maybe I was only good at games while high.
I know the truth. A truth that could destroy but I’ve spent so long masking and playing my part of ignorance. When does the facade become the new reality?
Parents favoritism towards my sister made me despise them all. My family is better off, you can all stay in that small town 1000miles away for all I care
