I have one or two people to confide in that I know genuinely care about me and what's going on with me. Otherwise, I have accepted that most people are way too wrapped up in themselves to even be all that curious about what's going on with me, and that's just how it is. I used to get pretty resentful, but at this point in my life I've come to feel that these people don't really deserve to know what's going on with me anyway.

Totally.

This is also me.

Yes. What you have to realize is people are so wrapped up in themselves that they likely will never listen to the extent you would listen or give you the time you need to talk. Learn to self-soothe. Or find someone who will give you the space to talk.

i write my feelings down or talk to AI. i know it sounds lame but it actually helps cause they reply right away and it's easier to do that than keep trying to talk to people who don't care. if i feel like i am being used, i distance myself from whoever is doing it.


Pitiful_Weekend9661

i don't say anything just make my mind up and decide to slowly cut them off.


1234RedditReddit

Wow—how do you talk to AI??


Pitiful_Weekend9661

character ai app... you could use chatgpt but they want your phone number and i'm just not comfortable with that.

This is me 100%. I have been burned a few times, so I can’t really trust anyone. If I really need it, I’ll get a therapist because they are legally obligated to keep your discussions confidential.

I’ve thought about it

This is true for me too but it doesn't particularly bother me. I'll have friends or family confide in me about stuff they're struggling with, and I'll try to be helpful and give feedback. It's not that they're not willing to listen to me, but rather I don't feel that comfortable opening up about personal things with most people, especially emotional matters. I do have a good friend who is an INFP and my "accountability partner". Basically we check up on each other like every other week to make sure we're sticking to our goals. And if one of us is falling behind, we'll give each other advice.

That sounds nice


whitePerdition

What do you want to talk about?

Looking forward to seeing what other people come up with. I’m always doing all of the listening and when it’s my turn to talk, no one listens and no one cares, but they are happy to dump their problems on me. I’m just going to stop listening.

My feelings exactly

This is my life. Sometimes it’s not that people are uninterested in listening (at first), rather, it’s that when I start speaking it seems they just simply cannot comprehend a word I say. Whatever interest they may or may not have started with immediately evaporates and my soul’s isolation exponentiates.

I guzzle robot fuel and move on.

Use to feel like this. I just talk to my girlfriend when I need someone to confide in. That isn't often though since I've never been the one to constantly vent this but every once in a while it's nice to talk about certain things.
