Having a really hard time. I reached out out to 52 people and counting over 3.5 years and no one came to help or responded to my efforts to be friends. One died after 8 months 2 years ago. Rest had nefarious intentions or did not respond. Over 50 years everyone left. Last week a person I had a civilized relationship with at work resigned. She is gone. Yes I have a therapist. She cancels at least 1-2 times a month and will try to reschedule. She cancelled last week ☹️ I was not picky or choosy and was assaulted. So now I am picky about no abusers, which I think is not a reason why I am unsuccessful at not being alone and lonely. This is all aside from virus and distancing. It predates that as well. I know is hard. I see others struggle. I know life is what we make it. How can you make life what you try to make it if keep failing doing everything recommended?

I havent posted a poem in a while, despite writing a few.. I tend to write one, get to the end and read it and its so underwhelming for the effort I put in that I cant stand the thought of posting it so I dont, ill do this over and over and then some point down the line Ill be wandering through my own files and find loads of poems I forgot I wrote, and read them, and think ok they arent SO bad...

Here is one such rediscovery which I wrote back in November I think: Click for Poem

No idea why I always skipped clicking on this before, but it's totally my type of thread. On other forums I like lurking on the selfie threads (but Ig this forum can't have one due to being anonymous)
On this forum this thread is the sort of place I would lurk in and get to know people and see if they live up to my assumptions

I've avoided this thread before. I don't totally know why but probably because I am shy. I would say that the title describes me. Lonely and isolated despite having friends. If that makes any sense at all.
You really don't have to share, the reason I love this thread is because when I was feeling isolated, just going through and listening to everyone ELSES voices was very soothing. It made me feel less alone.

Interesting. I for some reason hate just listening without participating though. It just causes anxiety. Idk. Doesn't really matter

Whenever you want to or in the mood just give a wave or text. I don’t always use the voice recorder. I don’t always come here. Stared around beginning of COVID to help us re connect with each other from isolation. It turned into so much more then that! This helps us feel a connection, there is a voice and a person on the other “line” even just posting here @AnorexicGymnast you are always welcome to lurk away. And comment whenever however 🤗

I thought it was great, to hear everybody especially those from other parts of the world and for them to speak, sing a bit or read a little poetry. Fun to hear the accents. I should label mine as country bumpkin. LOL :)
