I’m a person who isolates myself from people for 6 years now. I started isolating myself when I was 14, because I was abused a lot, both physically and mentally, by my family, classmates and later teachers. I started being afraid of people at first and then got anthropophobia (pathological fear of people or human company). I can’t deny that it’s really lonely by yourself though no matter how much I try to remind myself that I’m better on my own. That no one can hurt me that way. But even though I’m so very scared of everyone I would like to find a friend or maybe even a boyfriend. But it’s not only my fear that’s keeping me from making contact with people. Whenever I try to talk to someone I have this thought/voice in my head: “What the fu — ck are you trying to do? Nobody cares about you, nobody wants to talk to you, nobody wants to even look at you, you disgusting piece of sh — it! Are you so dumb you can’t understand you’re not worth of anything? You have no right to bother anybody just because you’re unhappy. You shouldn’t be alive in the first place! What’s wrong with you?!” (something along those lines). So whenever I’m in a room full of people and I can’t get out (because I’m in school or something) I sit in a dark corner and try not to bother anyone. And no one really tries to approach me because who would want to approach such a freak. But a few months back someone approached me and I was really surprised because that usually never happens. And he was really nice and he didn’t seem to be the judging type. And we talked quite a lot and I came to like him. And he was always talking to me first and texting first and one time he asked me to start a conversation first, but even though I really wanted to, I felt bad about bothering him (even though I wasn’t really, but this voice doesn’t give me a break). And eventually he stopped talking to me (I know it’s my fault, he probably thought I was ignoring him… I’m such a monster…). And I want so bad to contact him but I can’t because I’m not worth of his friendship or anything more (and I don’t even know if he wanted anything more because I have no experience in such matters). He’s a really nice and smart person and he deserves a nice and normal girlfriend or friend, not someone like me.

Sounds like he wanted you to suck his d-ck so he acted nice but then you never got on your knees to suck his d-ck so he stopped talking to you 🙂 anyway, if you still want to be friends with him just go ahead and suck his d-ck then you will have a friend and a lover wrapped up in one 🙂 someone to talk about how unhappy you are with
Personally I hate being approached. I love being left alone but I don’t have to go to school anymore so I don’t have to go through that trauma of holding my breath and pretending to be invisible in a room full of idiots
Thank you I didn’t know I could feel worse than I already did
And personally I am a loner too but complete solitude can become really unbearable
I’m sorry I was just making a joke about men 😉 didn’t mean to hurt any feelings. It happens- there is a right one for you somewhere 🙂
And username123 is coming from the right place. I do hope for the best for you but do stay safe. You’re in a vulnerable state and while there are people out there who want to help and care for others I know very well what men are like as well, and how they would take advantage of someone in your position (or only want sex like username123 illustrated). Like they said, and I’ve seen myself; there is someone out there who can understand you and be there for you. And they’re likely to show up when you’re not even looking 🙂
I can really relate. I felt so much like that today (I often do). Like the world would be better off without me. Like I’m an inconvenience to others.
I think you sound like a really nice person, and I think you should go talk to that guy whom you like. Give it another try.
Even if you feel worthless, I don’t think that is the truth. Maybe that is just how we feel when we are lonely. Idk.
Good luck on everything 🙂
Hugs
Thank you, it means a lot. And you sound like a really nice person too 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Hey! Personally I have “a lot of friends”, but there’s always this voice that tells me that every friend I have is shallow, and it is true. They would never help me if I am in a dire situation. I don’t know how good it is to have these “friends”, but if you really need someone to talk to, you should talk to that guy again. Give it a try, he seems nice. Also, this site is always here, if you want to say something that you would never tell anyone irl, post it here, someone will reply. And ignore username123, but not completely, they said something possible so be careful when you approach that guy again, ok? If he asks you to do something you don’t want to, retreat immediately. Stay safe!
Hi, I know what you mean. Before I turned 14 I had few “friends”. I could never depend on them and later they either turned their back on me or stabbed me in the back.
And you’re right that I shouldn’t trust him completely but he was different than most people. We actually had a lot in common and for a moment I felt like I’m not an outsider anymore.
But I’m not sure I’m ready to contact him. At least not yet. I’m scared he’s not interested anymore.
Thanks for the reply 🙂
You beat yourself up so much, please stop!! The world is more than happy to beat up on you, don’t help it. Sometimes you are your own best friend, so be nice to yourself!!
In this case it seems like I’m my own frenemy, but seriously when you’re growing up and everyone tells you you’re a burden you start to believe it.
I think you would be a very interesting person to talk with. Someone sensitive who can feel the depths of emotions you can is special, and it’s a shame what happened between you and your friend when it was going well. Please don’t blame yourself though – it’s not your fault that you feel the way you do; like a burden. And it takes a unique person to properly understand those feelings. But you are worthy of someone who can I promise. And if they’re lucky they can find you and get to know the unique person that you are – but for now please just stay safe and be that person without regrets, because you are valid to feel how you do.
Take care
Thank you so much, you’re being too nice to me 🙂
It’s no problem at all 🙂 and I swear that’s the clear impression I get of you so if it feels laid on thick it’s just accurate 😛
I know someone like you and they could never be a burden no matter how others treat them and make them feel. And if nothing else them just being them is enough proof that they, and you are not.
I really hope you do come to feel better returntosoil 🙂
