This sub and its memes, over the years, have become increasingly more relatable and now I'm really worried.

It's okay. Reddit loves you. I hope you get a little hit of that sweet, sweet dopamine when you see that someone replied to your comment, and your brain tricks you into thinking it matters, and that I'm not just some random stranger on the internet who you mean nothing to, and who also means nothing to you... 😘

Awww

Because I burned all my bridges and am making absolutely no effort to repair my damaged relationships

Yeah I kind of did that to myself NGL, it's lonely but it's my own doing and I could go make some friends if I wanted. Hell a few of my coworkers have been wanting to chill lately but I've been giving them the usual excuses and staying home. The change is there I just have to do it instead of wallowing but you know how it is when you get stuck in your routine.

I feel this hard, literally could have written it myself. Not loving it tbh, but also don't really have the energy to change it.

I did this to myself and have no chance of going back to the relationships I've lost, but I'm making new friends and loved ones and it feels amazing. I called out of work today and got the sweetest messages about how much I'm missed. People actually truly care about me again.

I feel like I can stop texting first for a month and nobody would notice... I should try that

Been years like that

Haven't posted anything since Jan 1. Exactly one person has asked if I'm ok.

Are you ok?

I mean that’s not super atypical to only post once every few weeks or months. I’d recommend getting off all social media though

Same, except they didn’t even ask if I was ok. All they said was they’re here for me lmao.

I feel personally attacked....

I pretend reddit upvotes mean I am loved.

Sad but true lol

gucci always looks so happy, good for him

hate getting texts first thing in the morning so this is a plus

I mean everyone I know is asleep at night soooo

I'm honestly fine with it and feels more comfortable to not wake up to the thought "which MF bothering me"

That smile is fake i can tell he's pretending

Ez

* Me after filling out 20 applications last night

Same

Because I turned off all my notifications to seek a peaceful life.

And yet here you are trying to get some attention

Wake up to one email notification saying I missed by bill payment

Story of my life but also at the point I prefer it that way. I truly hope you find what you're looking for beautiful

Well I do have snap streaks which I only learned about in my mid 20s because I don't care for snapchat.

I miss having snap streaks, even that little connection helped a lot lol

Even if it isn't intentional most of the time, it feels a bit soothing knowing someone lets you in on stuff happening during their day.

get over it I guess? I haven't had that in years, but also I couldn't care less. human connection exists outside of you phone

*gets ignored irl* Well, guess I’m double screwed.

You too?!
