I made a similar post a few weeks ago, but just remembered that the last time I had friends was over ten years ago, when I was ten.
My whole life at the moment is going to work during the week and being too exhausted for anything for the rest of the day and having no motivation to do anything on the weekends.

The only people around me are my family and my colleagues. Nobody asks how I am or is otherwise interested about me.

I don’t know why I should continue to live, I don’t see many reasons for it

    Hey Kiara, similar sentiment as u/Tangerine@scribe.disroot.org here.

    I can definitely relate to the “no friends outside of family+work” situation. Having moved relatively often I didn’t build any “friend groups” and staying in touch with the very few ones that lasted is difficult, mainly because I’m quite an introvert too (in the sense of: social contact == draining batteries / alone time == recharging). So while that makes me content most of the time, there’s moments when I miss just having a random chat with somebody outside of my daily life. However putting myself “out there” seems difficult/draining and not worth the hassle (traveling to the nearby “big city”, for example).

    What are things you like to do? Is there something you’d like to learn or try out but didn’t have the means to yet, or something you enjoyed in the past, but stopped for some reason?

    Coworkers tell me I’m a good mentor or at least rubber ducky, so if you feel like venting or sorting out some day-to-day stuff, my inbox and matrix handle are open as well. Maybe trying out some 1:1 connections with the people here is a small enough step to actually dare try out?
