(eyes are to watery to fix every typo)
i posted on here once, like 2 years ago i dunno, things havent changed in my life.

ive grown up never having friends
ive never had social connections
ive never had a real relationship or anything even comparable to a highschool fling.

ive been out of school for 9 years now, everyone is long gone.

i dont have family around me.

i dont consider myself addicted to anything, i smoke pot, mostly daily, mostly before i go to sleep. i ve tried mdma (brown sugar) 3 times, all about a month apart, i never felt like crap after, i didnt feel depressed or burnt out, but its also possible i took the right amount of dosage, as to not use all my serotine.

i dont smoke cigs, and i hardly drink.

i dont know a single person. i work alone 100% of the time, i go work days easy without speaking to another person.

ive gone out so much trying to make bridges, im so alone, im tired of it, every breath i take i feel like my chest is closing in on me, more and more. the walls around me betray me and dont let me sleep. my thoughts are always dwelling on my loneliness.

when ever my mind would get stuck on these darker of dark places, i would always tell myself "no, things will get better, youll meet someone, youll meet people, youll fall in love, or atleast have a romance." its been years since ive been touched by anyone. felt warmth or love. felt emotion and passion, felt a drive to exist.

latly ive been finding myself getting stuck on those sucicidal thoughts, thinking things like who would find me? if i hung myself it would be over fast, or if i cut myself or all these other things, like who would find me, how would they react, would it bring me warmth knowing this person found me? and it started to hurt, emotionally and physically.

ive spent alot of time trying to find the route of my problems. it goes back to grade 5, litterally the first day. (so long ago, litterally like 15 years ago), i had alot of engery, i couldnt sit in class, in grade 5 we will still on basic maths that have been the same for the last 2-3 years (one teacher per year, minus gym and music, still elementray) dealing with boring equations and problems long learned. i was deemed hyper active, was forced out of class by admin, was put into this "bad kid" program. when all i was, was bored.

i spent the next two years in school in isolation from everyone else, i sat alone in a white room with a rubber floor and rubber walls, never say teachers, never saw students, i was given different lunch times and recess, i was always "assisted" by a adult who would make sure i wouldnt run off or harm people. the isolation has only grown since then. my parents didnt understand what was going on, it messed my mind up so much.

skip forward, im 22, i havent smoked a single cig in my life, or smoked any pot, or tried any drugs, one day i just gave up.
march 8th i had broken my leg, and this really, really showed me what being alone is like, what truly being alone and helpless for hours truly changed my find forever. it was a really bad break, it wasnt until a full year later i started walking again where you couldnt tell something was wrong, and even now, theres still nerv damage to feel. and so 6 months went by, the boot on now, walking unassisted other then the boot, i sat there, alone, reflecting the struggle i had been thru, how it sucked being so alone, it sitll sucks so much.

i went out, bought a pipe, a grinder, (both of which ive hardly ever seen before this time) and bought some weed, for the first while it helped alot. now 5 years later i see no point to it anymore, its dead to me. it turned against me like my childhood, turning everything bad, enchancing the sad feelings and eventually less and less of me felt any good at all.

I resisted the path (that i deemed dangerous when i was younger) but alone, all alone, birthday after birthday, christmas after christmas, i gave up, i truly died inside, the last part of me that made me, well me, died, was buried and put into a box that i burned with all the failing mementos i had from a long life of abandonment.

when i was in grade 1 i got molested by a family member, the thoughts arnt there, the family member is long gone, and i see no need to open that wound, with so much distance between me and the rest of my family anyways. i really just needed to tell that to someone, anyone, it fucking sucks having no one. EVER.

ill be 27 this year, been opiate free for atleast 3 years, although my stint with them was short, it was the happiest months of my life (as i felt literally nothing at all), now im here though, sitting here, reeally, truly, contemplating the end, the real end, not some kid crap, the real shit, im tired of these feelings, im tired of being alone, im tired of feeling like i am filled with death, like people in public see me and avoid me at all costs, i really do want to die, im not religious, im very educated and have maintained scientifc believes for some time, but i find myself praying, praying that if gods real he just end my misery, prove your there and take this lifeless body away from me, and time and time again, the coward that is god, like if gods real, he must see this, must feel my pain, fuck him, fuck that piece of shit, there is no god, people who are amazing are ended short, those who beg for the end are forced to live, and all the while, millions die every day. why am i even talking about this?

nothing changes, will i be 28 and still in the same situation? or 30? or 40?

because i really dont have the strength to type this, its taken so long just to try an get this out, nevermind strength to see out another week, a month, fuck a year, fuck a year in this bullshit. i just cant do it anymore.

i dont know what to do, should i abandon my job and go into rehab? or mental health or something. im so fucking alone.
 
It does not sound like you need rehab but it would do you a world of good to get some help in navigating the overwhelming feelings you are having. Childhood abuse is a huge factor and while you say that you do not want to revisit it, it may be the key to healing much in your life. To be 6 years old and have trust in other people so destroyed in every way and then to grow up covering it all up leaves many scars and many open wounds. I hope that you will be able to find a counselor who is experienced in treating adults that have been abused as children.

There are some practical things that you could do to have contact with other people. Even if you work full time, see if you can find somewhere to volunteer where you can feel both useful to others and appreciated for your services. It can really help to get out of your own head and have respite from all the crushing loneliness. Maybe in the headspace you are in right now this is not possible but perhaps once you have regained some hope. It really comes down to looking inside rather than outside. Loneliness is a part of life. Isolation can be changed, though. It takes faith in yourself and trust and self-acceptance. If you have negative shaming voices in your own head you can project these out and convince yourself that others see you in the same way. Getting help for yourself means trusting the process with a competent therapist (and that can take patience to find).

Please hang in there and in the meantime, read everything you can about surviving childhood abuse. (The Courage to Heal is a good book).<3
 
We never know what's on the other side. You are young, phases may last forever but things change and you need hope. Search And it may find you. It's inside all of us. Most people I know have gone crazy or depressed. There's a way out.
I'm sorry you're are passing through this but you've got to believe it will pass. Get help. You've started already.
 
This made me sad to read.

You are looking at a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and no matter how impossible everything seems for you right now, it IS temporary. I'm sure people care, but it sounds like you're depressed and I know when I get depressed, I don't see what's in front of my face half the time.

Get help. Go talk to someone. I was also sexually abused by a family member as a young teen and talking to someone truly does help. You just need to find someone you're comfortable with.

Go volunteer somewhere, go join a club (try meetup.com for activities). You need to put some effort out there too! Even if it's just little baby steps, or you take one step forward, 2 steps back, it's all progress, right?

I'd so hang out with you if you were closer! Everyone needs a friend, someone in their corner!
 
(i appreciate all the responses i have, and right now i dont feel like giving personal responses, but all have been read and appreciated, i really just feel like venting and ranting right now, its not that i need to know who knows, i just need to know someone else knows)

im strong, emotioanlly anyways.

i endure, i try, i try so hard to be patient, this past summer i went out 2 a week almost every week to try and meet people (bars, clubs, pubs), and literally gained nothing.
ive been called a complete genetleman (and that term and me being called that on this previous sunday is what snapped my last string, its thursday night now, i didnt move the entire week so far) (ill come back to this), at my previous place of employment (7 fucking years and i never made a real friend)

i have no friends. i call myself my only friend when i talk to family over the phone, what do they think of me? my entire life was like this, the moment i got to fled my parents i bolted and yes there been some confliction but they really fucked my up (reguarding my OP and me being seperated from everyone else my age for so long).

my dad lives in europe these days, my mom 1500km away, i have brothers, some of them i know see my agony. but there life moves on, with their children, wives, jobs, familys ect.

when i was 15 my older brother who was 21 at the time just had his first kid, and it really gave me hope back then, back when i was just going into public school (grade 9) (man was that a horrible year), i saw the problems my older brother had (drugs, coke i know forsure, so much time has gone by), i saw this huge change that happened to him, he became less of that, and more of a man, a family man, 3 kids now, the change its amazing.

why the hell am i stuck here? i was so smart growing up seeing my older brother into that shit, i kept a huge distance from that stuff, and weed also, as i knew it was what started him down that path.

then the shit storm that was grade nine (10 was a meh year) 11 was the worst, truly, truly the worst. then 12 happened, (i moved in with my dad, completely new area, new school, new people to graduate, people who wouldnt know about me, who i was be reborn in. grade 12 didnt go well, i made no friends at that school, and once grade 12 was done, isolation and lonilness really truly set in.

things really do feel they are getting worse, my life does not feel its getting better.

the straw that broke my will:
i have one friend, although to be honest i dont know where i stand with him anymore. its a really messed up situation, and this stupid bitch used me to get to him, like fuck how sick of human being do you need to be?

ok so hes got kids and a woman and everything, and some random woman comes into our lives, of course hes the only person who knows my problems, doesnt even them, just knows of them. shes a complete random, basically falls in love with him over fucking night (i literally mean that), me and her hung out, we got drunk and stoned, then i was like i like you, and shes like, your such a gentleman, and very nice, but im into your friend. (like what, what the fuck, you stupid dumb fucking whore). and the problem is, this isnt the first time this has hpapened. and last time he fucked the bitch and his family was all fucked up because of it, our friendship was fucked up from it, but now, ive tossing that friendship aside. use me, fuck you you whore, saw your scheme a mile away, aproched it cautiously, and still got sucked into your web.

im such a selfless person, i always buy the booze, the weed, the shrooms, codiene, dxm, i often go extensively out of my way for others, i get out and push peoples stuck cars, i get out and boost/see if they need help when i see a stalled car on the road, when i see a stranger in pain or need it hurts me, and i try to do what i can. and i have done the same for him, albeit i havent always been there, but i try at a level i cannot even explain why, and like dude, you always get fucking hit on, you always get girls numbers, even though hes all fucking set, yet i cant even get a single god damn touch. a single fucking feel of skin, or hair, or lips. i want to fucking smash this key board and smash this monitor pos just thinking about it, fuck him right. if i dont matter to him then he doesnt matter to me, i always showed it. i always drove, i always made the distance, ive always felt burnt and dead inside at the end of every night. and the end of every thought.

although i honestly think our friendship would be fine if that bitch didnt step into the picture, (ts the fact that this is basically the exact same thing happening again, like its so familiar) it wouldnt change anything, id still be horribly alone and empty inside, filled with decay and hollowness that is only filled by self infliction. i simply cannot put anymore effort in. this time, im putting me first. im fucking dead. like im am so lifeless, so void, so empty.

do i need a friend? do i need someone who makes such selfish choices, completely blind to those wounding around him, constantly, fuck it, fuck it fuck it, its not like i saw him all that often anyways.


i have never valued my life having any worth. i will die, as my father will one day die, as will his dad, as has his dad. my brothers will die, my parents will die, a countless amount of people and years have come before me, and a countless infintite amount will come after. i am nothing, am not even sperm in a eyes reflection, a twinkle in a star, less then a grain of sand, i dont have faith complexes, i accepted mortallity long ago. i dont think there will a consequence if i were to be dead. people die all the time, young, old, male, female, happy, sad, with kids, with wives, rich, poor, so i dont see why society sees taking ones life as shame and coward (i guess its a big north america thing). As i know many societies past and present see no shame, but honor in ending ones own life.

i need a break from me, i need to feel loved. i havent ever before. i need to kiss a woman, i need someone to touch my face, look into my eyes, never, ever. to reach her arms out towards me, im so fucking dead and empty. i think i need to disappear.
i need to nkow what it feels like to not be me, i need to experience a woman, i need to fit in, i need LIFE in my body, im just a drone completing basic tasks.

there isnt a thing i wouldnt do, to not wake tomorrow.
 
i feel your pain. i have social anxiety and dont have friends either. i used to, but not anymore. its hard to stay hopeful but life will get better i pray ;/
 
while I do not have social anxiety perse I am by all means a solitary person these days. my tragic flaw is the never ending desire for external validation (I am a musician). I bottomed out a few years ago after chasing the stage light dreams and diminishing highs.. long story I lost everything that mattered to me all at once.

I'm lonely now. music isn't fun anymore , the drugs ruined it. honestly if my gf at the time (of many many years ), hadnt pulled such a im the victim / guilt trip bullshit princess act, she woulsd have realized all I needed was for someone to tell me I was amazing. so I wouldnt have to kill myself taking uppers just to prove that to some one.

anyway, your last paragraph reminded me exactly how it felt to bottom out without a special someone, a soulmate that could have stopped so so many fuckded up things I did.

BTW, meetup.com is fanatstic way to meet people, but you first have to love yourself enough to be truly passionate about something, that believe it or not is the sign of life people subconsciously search for in friemdaup but ESPECIALLY love. even your passionate about the dumbest thing imaginable it is a queue to most people that says "hey, your weird I'm weird, we can get each other"

27 is too young. unacceptable, you must live. try different things, theres a million lifetimes of choice so no excuse
