Do you have friends/acquaintances?

I'm curious what the majority is here. I see many posts about complete loneliness, maybe also being a reason to ctb, but also others worrying about how their friends would react to them cbting.
My vote would be "only acquaintances" I think.

I think the loneliness is one of the key pillars of suicidality in many. Lots of theories psychologists have on suicide focus on/mention it too like Joiner's interpersonal theory. (Which believes the two key reasons are thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness)

Even if we are all kinda lonely at least many of us can share in that kind of suffering together here lol.

I have a few very close friends. I have no online friends and I distance myself from acquaintances. It's so sad to think some people out there dont have someone to speak to without truly feeling unjudged or even just to have a really fun time with them.

Interesting. Only am familiar with basics of psychology, what I learned in high school, so didn't know that. Thanks!

I voted no one because in my mind if yr a acquainted with me I have already fucked up. ( I am completely damaged and avoid any type of relationship with anyone so no one has to either deal with me or learn anything about me.) The inability to communicate with people and not just disappear is definitely a reason for ctb...

Or the ability to form relationships or in my case I don't deserve to be around people. I feel to empty and damaged and like I'm a black cloud over everything.. that's why I'm here I guess. Last attempt so to speak...

Hey guys. Idk how to make my own thread. But if anyone wants to speak to me in private I'm more than open to listen or just speak about anything.
[Also if you can help with that I'd be really appreciative ]

How's tucson? I've never heard of it before. I'm not from the US btw.

 

[pinapellicer]

Damn, thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness is exactly how i feel.

I have a lot of online aquaintances but as for online friends, its usually just one person at a time for a month or two and then they stop texting me.. my whole life ive been considered the weird one being laughed at behind my back and i wish i had a friend group irl, maybe that would help me get better, but i have no real ways of making friends...

 

[Echo]

I've started distancing myself from them. One of them fell out with their best friend who I also knew and was spreading lies about them . I just generally dont think they're a good person.
The other tries to flirt with me all the time and I've made it clear I'm asexual but they seem to always forget and gloss over it.
I've hung onto them so I have friends but I'm at the point i dont really want to continue conversing with them. I'll respond if they message but I'm not contacting them anymore

Where are you from? It's hot and dry here. To many mindless bootlicker everywhere ... the sonoran desert 🏜 is beautiful though.

all of my friends pretty much left me and all of my attempts at making friends has failed miserably. i have acquaintances, they're just coworkers. i need to die because this loneliness has become unbearable and i can't deal with it anymore

 

[thelostautistic]

I don't have loads friends but I do have some. I often feel quite lonely but part of that is me protecting myself. I'm very reluctant to seek out new acquaintances/friendships as I have a lot of trust issues.

 

[Spite]

Online only. IRL I've never had any friends, never have, never will.

 

[WiltedDreams]

I only consider them to be acquaintances. I always keep myself at a distance to make sure they don't get too attached to me, but that has been failing recently. I just wish they'll let go eventually, I don't want to hurt anyone else with my passing. Sadly, humans are social animals so it'll happen. Doesn't help that I constantly feel alone within a crowded room.
