Lostindifference - Why..?

“Be a child again. Flirt. Giggle. Dip your cookies in your milk. Take a nap. Say you are sorry if you hurt someone. Chase a butterfly. Be a child again.”

I listen because i know how it feels to be unheard and ignored

Franz Kafka, 1912

I feel like an old beaten up dog that is just wandering around looking for someone, anyone, to love me.

My toxic trait is firmly believing that being $k!nny will solve nearly all my problems, and I refuse to consider otherwise

Are teen years just supposed to be a shit show? Is my mindset supposed to change every 10 minutes? Am I supposed to go back and forth between the want to ruin my whole life and the want to build on and take care of myself? Am I supposed to feel this hostile towards my family? Am I supposed to feel like no one likes me? Is this what I should’ve expected?

From The brink of suicide to Getting help, We Stan a Mental Health King

It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.

We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.
