Anxiety and loneliness. Loads of friends, but majorly lonely.
Would love to cease to exist, but can’t because the impact it would have on my family. So just accepting I’ll need to ride things out for years to come.
- kirso 4y agoI believe this is not unique to a lot of people unfortunately. Loads of friends != satisfaction from the sense of belonging and meaning. I don't have an answer for you, but just trying to get to people where you can have meaningful and thoughtful conversations helps a lot for the belonging. Alternatively, a therapist should definitely help here to at least find ways. It seems like there are a lot of men health communities these days focusing on this issue as well.
- altdataseller 4y agoIs there a reason you have loads of friends but still feel lonely? Do you think it stems from something you can control, such as having deeper conversations with them, and opening up more?

- the_only_law 4y agoI agree, but acquaintance always sounds really stilted in a casual conversation, so I use the word friend in a wider context depending on the situation.
- ineedausername 4y agoWell at least you got a family and friends.
