I'm always lonely because I have no friends nor do I have anyone to talk. I essentially live my Saturdays and Sundays in almost complete solitude. It's enough to drive me mad when I'm not surrounded by people whom I can talk to. I mean, I have my brother and sister, but they're too bothersome to try and talk to. My brother is always busy and is almost always shut away in his room if he's not working, and my sister's an emotional mess. Sometimes, though, my brother comes down to chat for like five minutes. In any case, it's impossible to talk to either of them, and the latter is just hard to talk to in general. If she doesn't know what I'm talking about, she'll just go "I see", and nod like she understands even if she doesn't. And if I'm talking to the former, she'll respond to me as if I were talking to her, which is really bloody annoying; it's like she has to be included in the conversation even though it doesn't even involve her. She also has a tendency to make other people feel bad and hope they fail, so that she'll feel like even less of a failure by comparison. She often pretends to know what she's talking about, when she actually doesn't, either. She just tries to act smart because she doesn't want people to think of her as some imbecile. Once, she tried to explain to me that computer science and information technology are almost exactly the same. "Like oranges and tangerines", she said. In any case, my mother isn't all that great, either, I've come to realize. When I come to her about my bouts of sadness and loneliness, all she can do is whine back about how her life is even more depressing, and that whatever I'm feeling is nothing compared to the mistakes she's made in life. In any case, while I do acknowledge that her life is definitely worse, it certainly doesn't make me feel any better about myself. I know that she's been married to someone who has stopped loving her over fifteen years, I know that she hates one of my aunts, saying that she has a tendency to look down on her and her family, and I definitely know that whenever I feel like crap, she feels even worse. I know it's selfish to not care about her problems, but I genuinely cannot empathize with anything that she feels. It makes it hard for me to care. I have my own set of mental problems and life issues to worry about. All she ever complains about nowadays is about how my depression is nothing compared to hers, how her sister treats her like crap, and how much she keeps talking about hating my father very, very much. It just gets tiring to listen to after awhile. I just can't put myself in her shoes, even though she's my mother and deserves love and understanding from the one person in the house who's actually nice to her. Everyone in my house has a tendency to yell at her, even me. I just do it far less often, according to her. In any case, on the weekends, there's no one healthy to talk to on the weekends. Being alone and without any social contact whatsoever just takes its toll on my very slowly eroding sanity. One of the reasons that I like work and school is that they provide me social contact with people I can talk to. I have absolutely no friends (same as my mother), and it's really wearing on my sanity on the weekends, when no one wants to talk to me. I don't have as much of a problem talking to blokes from my school and from my work as I used to, and I really appreciate that I can talk to them more freely than before. I'm really too shy to ask them for their numbers or contact information, and it just really scares me how asking and being rejected could jeopardize future conversations with them. After Friday afternoon, I lose all energy to do anything knowing that I won't have any social contact for the next two days other than this board and my family. One thing that does keep me going is actually trying to be productive and do homework. That usually keeps me occupied for a few hours or so, but eventually, the main problem of being without friends returns. Anyway, how was your day?

I must have these answers.

Your family sucks, TC. Move out and leave them behind ASAP. Sounds like the issue is a common ground with all of you, your mom and sister displaying the anxious/depressive parts and your brother seemingly copes with his own issues by shutting others out. You didn't mention a dad, so I figure he's not in the life picture? Whatever affliction it is that you all share, it's clear that staying in that environment will do you no good.

Find what you're able to be happy with and keep your weekends busy. Go do stuff, take walks, go out and explore, don't stay inside all day, man. Life is for the living.

Lightning Returns is the only one I never finished. I ran out of time right at the end. >_<

Anyway, I read the whole post, and I can relate to a lot of what you said. I'm not sure I can offer much advice about socializing, but if it's that big of a deal for you, you probably should put in effort to connect more with coworkers. I know it's an intimidating option, but asking for their numbers most likely won't interfere with how they interact with you.

No, I'm pretty sure that even a normal college student would have no patience trying to read my posts.

dad


He lives with us, but argues with my mother a lot. He never made much effort, if at all, to raise me and my siblings which is why my mother hates him for not helping her.

Move out


Rent is too expensive, and I must pay that damned American tuition, in addition to that twenty-six hundred dollars I lost a week ago.

If only it were that simple. I don't know what it is that would make me happy besides the companionship of others.

GanglyKhan posted...
don't stay inside all day


I have to do homework, even though I have no energy to do so, and it gives me much stress when I am unable to do it. So I end up holing myself in the house until I am able to.

Stop throwing a pity party, man. Shit or get off the pot. You can't complain that you feel burdensome then play the vicitim, it just feeds into that cycle.

Yeah man, that's rough as hell. I'm sorry to hear that. That kind of stuff isn't the best to be around but don't feel bad about it, it's on them to behave around each other.

Community college or uni?

If I gave you 100 things to do and told you 1 of them would make you feel nice, would you deny them or go through each one? Other people are doing the things that you'll end up enjoying once you find it.

Is there a library or cafe or something around? Seriously, man. Being in and around your house is doing you zero good.

Yes.

I would likely go through the list and find excuses to not do most of them.

The nearest reputable library is an eighty-minute bus ride away.

I don't want to bother anyone who's busy doing work. I don't think it's a good idea to chat about non-work stuff while on the clock. And I don't eat lunch on my work days, so I can't socialize with them then.

I also agree that you should definitely get their numbers. Just to ask if they want to hang out or something on the weekend. Or, you can give them yours and ask them to text you. You want the companionship of another human being, and this is how you'll get it...

Also, line breaks would definitely help...

We all have our vices.

For a more constructive response, why come into a thread just to say "line breaks" and not contribute? The original post format, Mead's response, and my response are all infinitesimally small problems, if they're even a "problem" at all in the big scheme of things. It's the internet, people love to bitch and bitch about bitching and bitch about bitching about bitching. The best thing I can do going forward is just not replying to "non-responses".

I'd argue recommending line breaks is a constructive response. TC himself has said that he posts like this because he knows people won't read his posts and thus not give him any advice.

You probably should get away from negativity even if its from your own family. It can wear you down and it sounds like you dont get any benefit from dealing with someone elses problems.

Great that you can talk freely with other people. Take it from some random person whose only seen your posts/picture: if you asked someone for their contact info, I think they would probably give it to you, or wouldnt reject you outright with the intention to make you feel bad.
