This is kinda a long story but I really want to tell it because I’m having so many mixed emotions and thoughts over it.
I just had a work party and I really didn’t want to go because the people I work with are cool but like I don’t want to see all of them on my day off (no offense), but anywho, there was this dishwasher there who Ive met before but never really talk to because we don’t work the same days and he looked so over the party and I was leaving and knew we live near each other (we go to the same college) so I offered him a ride home to which he gladly accepted. I also know he’s super introverted and not chatty at all (unlike me the chatty extrovert) so I didn’t force him to talk to me or anything but by the end of the ride I ended up sitting outside his dorm for so long letting him just talk to me and he started tearing up over how he recently just went through all this friend drama and he’s feeling so lost and alone and how he went from having all these awesome friends to them kinda screwing him over behind his back. I wish there was more I could have done for him in the moment but I just listened and gave him my number if he ever wanted to talk, but I hope he knows that when I said everything is going to work out and be alright I meant it. he’s such a sweet kid and seeing him upset made me so sad😕 anyways if youve been through this or are going through this, you’re not alone and you’re not a bad person, you just need to find your people and it’s okay to take your time and find the ones who make you feel good about yourself and loved and sooo wanted because they’re out there! Trust me!

As someone who is maybe 2ish connections removed from the situation Im assuming you may be referring to… I am so deeply sorry 💔 hope you know that there are many strangers out there who are rooting for you and think you deserve to be happy and treated well, despite being strangers …
As someone who has been through a lot of heartbreak, the advice already given in previous comments is really great . I think in my experience, having 1 or 2 friends that you know really love you and get you, that you can spend time with even if you are really sad and not contributing much, was helpful. If you feel the need to talk about your feelings try to keep it to those people, or a journal. Once you start to feel a little better going out with more people and being more social can really help remind you of what is valuable about YOU.. what YOU enjoy and bring to the world..
Above all it helped me to remind myself that life is going to go on. You will move on, no matter how long it might take. It might feel like the worst thing in the world but i promise you will get through it. It’s just a matter of time :) be kind to yourself while time passes. I cant emphasize enough how deeply I have felt so heartbroken I thought I couldnt go on. Multiple times. Yet here I am.. and you will be okay too ❤️

I have had a terrible week. My laptop broke down again. Found out fixing it earlier lost me 400 euros. Film camera broke. New film didnt develop (with some important ass photos on it). My best friend is leaving the country and I got let go from a job last week. All the while I’m in a country that I dont particularly know if I am going to stay for the next while. Safe to say it aint working out cousin. Plus rent is due next tomorrow.
I was in a pit today, and maybe yesterday too….maybe its the booze (I hope not) or maybe its the good company I had today but I feel better about my situation. I wanna connect, I want to lov thos around me I need to stop lying to myself saying those I surround myself with don‘t care for me. This is not just for me, but for you. If you think you’re alone, lonely, spat out and despised by the world, that probably aint the truth. People out there, who don‘t have the same second name as you do probably aloso love you. It only takes 2-7 beers with friends to realise that.
Not great but hey, its the best we can do atm.
Its all love,
It always has been.

- podcasts (I like the broski report and the basement yard)
- being around animals: go to dog parks, cat cafes, or just pet random animals that you walk past on the street
- meditation (sit quietly, deep breaths, calming music)
- social media (here, instagram, discord) start sending stuff to your old friends online if it’s too much to hang in person
I hope you feel better. I’ve been in a situation very similar to yours and I understand completely. It is so difficult to have to distance yourself from others when you still feel that loneliness. But, since you’re feeling better now, please please please start putting yourself out there again. I promise you that your friends still love you and want to be around you. But you have to be the one to bridge that gap that you created. I hope this helped :)

I snatched a pair of my moms Dansko clogs out of her closet over winter break and they’re the best thing ever. I can slip them on to go to work, class, on a walk… I LOVE THEM. It’s also so snowy and slushy here and I can’t deal with wet socks, but thankfully my clogs are both platform and waterproof 😏 seriously the best things ever. I’m wearing them with sweatpants in class right now actually. Bring ‘em back!!
