It's really demanding for me to keep in touch with people who I can't get close to emotionally—and that applies to people whose contacts I've gotten over the years. Just sitting in there, probably gathering digital dust in my phone. I remember calling someone whom I got their phone number the day before, only for it not to go through. What a shame. He said that I was a very interesting person to talk to on that day. Sure, I bet he was busy at the time, but God damn it there goes a chance for someone I might've formed a decent bond with.

I told a few people about my thoughts. Their responses sucked so I stopped. I have a few friends but my ex was my best friend. Family, never again since last time I opened up years ago. I haven't told anyone about my thoughts from the depressive episode I'm currently in. I don't want to talk to a therapist because they either disappoint or overreact. Are they gonna cure my ADHD? Get me a job? Keep me that job? Get someone to love me? Have that person stay? Yeah don't think so. So I need to just make up my mind. Either do it or shut up about it.
Fuck "you're not alone." Yes I am.

I had to leave the university town I've lived in for the last 4 years, where I had some kind of social life for basically the first time in my life. Now everything hurts I hate living in my hometown and I feel like chances are slim that I'll be able to leave.

I write messages to people that won't answer, but I wait believing that maybe this time they'll do, they haven't blocked me nor told me anything at all, just silence. I once told them that I hated silence, the brain doesn't know what's going on and creates the worst stuff. I arrive home just to sleep, is no good that I check messages, nobody will message either way. I'm losing the need to talk, I may forget how to and remain silent.

Losing the need to talk is key. I really believe that it is only in silence that we can stop suffering. It requires a deep surrender to silence. No more noise; not even parasocial relationships like forums, YouTube or podcasts.

The mind is an incredibly powerful thing. If you truly want to live, you can carve a world out for yourself in your head that is habitable for you. In fact, the world that you and I think we live in, is just an artifact of our own minds.

This is all well in theory. But of course you might complain:

1. I do not "enjoy" life for xyz reason.
2. I do not want to exit because abc reason.

In other words these complaints translate to:

1. I am not content with the current world that I have built in my mind.
2. I want to live. (Otherwise I'd be gone already.)

It's hard for me to admit #2, but I think it's true, and every time I get close to ctb I realise that I actually want to live. Perhaps it's biological.

The hardest thing about "worldbuilding" is that we all have to agree to this one stupid reality. We have to wake up, talk to people (e.g. parents), go participate in institutions (democracy, school, and so on). Most of us are all forced to connect into the "real world", the one that brings us so much pain.


IF You are lucky enough to be truly alone, then you are blessed. It is not a surprise that mystics of the past all advocated for things like meditation, disappearing into caces or gardens where they were surrounded by no-one. If you truly are alone, try to disconnect. Build your own world. Perhaps it is your loneliness that will truly set you free.

I don't understand this either... how someone will apparently not want to talk with you, but does not block you and may or may not be reading what you send. Sometimes it seems like they must... but still they never respond so you are only guessing. I don't understand why people can't just tell you how they feel, and kick you away honestly... then block you if they must... but give the courtesy of telling you they don't want to be in your life before going silent.

I've always told people how I felt... if I had a problem with them... if I no longer wanted to communicate. I don't leave people hanging like that. It is cruel and painful.
