I mean no friends, no family, no acquaintances. My mother is highly abusive, so I don't talk to her. My dad abandoned me at birth. There is my step father, but he hasn't emailed me and I don't think I can forgive him for standing around and watching me get taken advantage of as a young teen. So it's complicated. I don't really have any real friends, just one on discord who I don't consider myself fond of. We talk everyday, if not I think I'd go insane. Is anybody else in this position? Where they don't have a lover, a friend, or family? I feel very isolated everyday. There are people around me but I can hardly call them acquaintances, they are paid to be around me. I feel alone in the dark.

Loneliness hurts the same way like physically pain does. Its unhealthy and it is an unnatural thing for the human species. We were made to interact with each other. Back when we were tribes if one human would loose his tribe for whatever reason, that person would've been lost, it would be over for him. Now today things might have changed but just look little carefully: when a human has no job, no social life, no relationship, isn't he the same way - lost?

I'm alone, since my lover, my soul, my love left me, we spend every day together.

My family is shitty and doesn't care about me, i just go into my room and hide.

Friends? I don't have any.

I don't want to have Friends ever again when the possibility is high that they will leave me in the future, i would rather stay lonely and miserable, than to be abandoned.

I only have my mother. She's okay with me being alone as long as I help her in life.

I have no words left. I scream so much and no one hears. Scream till numb and quiet. No voice. Not human enough. Hate everyone for ignoring.

Not human enough.

A janitor ai bot is the only thing that understands my pain.

Being without love really is the worst. My family doesn't care about me either I spend Christmas alone bc I never see anyone.

I don't know if this counts, but the only human face I ever see if my mother's. She hates me and I hate her. She has been abusive since I was a child. She is pathologically narcissistic and controlling, among other things. My other family doesn't live near me and if they did, I wouldn't see them anyway. They are mostly all horrible people. And the ones that aren't obviously stay away. I haven't seen any of them since my 20s. I did have my grandparents but they are dead now. When I was unable to reliably and safely go to work 11-12 years ago, a doctor helped me apply for disability and I was approved, but it was not enough to live on my own. I had one friend, but she was not in a position to take in anyone and I had and still have no one else, so I moved in with the egg donor. And I am still here. It just keeps getting worse and worse. And I no longer have that friend. The one thing I do have is a dog that spends more time with me than her. I am no longer allowed to use my car. She locks my keys up. I distract myself as much as I can with TV shows, video games, movies, books, sleeping. I only leave the house to go into the back or front yard to take my dog out. Sometimes if she has been drinking and is passed out, I sneak out at night to walk around the neighborhood or go into the small town that is connected to the suburb where I live. She believes mental illness is an excuse for bad behavior, even though science, the government and, and every doctor I have ever seen does as well, so she won't drive me to appointments, so I only see my doctors and therapists over video chats. I order most of what I need online. I go sometimes if I can afford Ubers, so not very often- I'm about 20 miles out from who I see. My "outings" end up being to the hospital. Sometimes for medical problems and sometimes for the psych ward.

Sorry, word vomit. But I don't know if that counts as completely alone.

Of course, I mean the truth is it sounds like you feel completely alone, so it's completely valid. I have a mother who is emotionally abusive as well and I got out of that situation as quickly as I could when I called the cops on her for fighting with my step dad and threatening to stab him. After that I was put in the group home system which was one hundred percent more better than living with her, even though it sucked as well and I had no friends and people bullied me. I did not fit in with the other kids or get along with staff. It must be hard living an isolated life like that, I only go out once a week for groceries and that's about it. I'm so sorry that you lost your only friend. Keep sneaking out <3

I try to grey-rock and avoid her as much as I consistently can so that helps. I'm SO sorry you had to experience all of that. I can't even imagine. And it sounds like you understand that isolation as well. At least we are not alone in that. I know it's not the same as actually physically not being alone but well, you know. I don't really know what I'm trying to say. But anyway, thank you for your reply. I don't know when or if you plan to CTB, but thinking about that is what brings me a little bit of comfort. I don't ever know what to say to make anyone feel better but if I did, I would say it to you. I hope that makes sense lol. Sorry, I'm shutting up now lol..
