Do you have many friends that aren't online friends?

If you talk about dying, wishing you would die and not having any friends around other people and not just here on the internet, I would suggest stopping that immediately if you want to improve your chances of gaining any because absolutely no one wants to hear it.

Everyone has problems of some kind. I don't know what kind of issues you have or are dealing with, but I do know some of what Hman has been through and still going through and the way he's handled it all and still handling...from my perspective, is how real men handle it.

You've read what Joe deals with. He probably wakes up every morning and genuinely thanks God for his wife and another day with her.

Do you know about Slices wife Red? Or ORB? Or 8283's wife? Or Mojo's wife? Or Weezer?

I don't share my personal hell on here for personal reasons, but I guarantee you wouldn't want to deal with it.

Many others you and me don't know about.

Others have offered to listen and talk to you. They've offered you advice. I believe you're a troll of some kind but I've been wrong before. But I do know 1 thing as fact. Troll or not, you need to take the feeling sorry for yourself doom and gloom somewhere else. If you're honestly not trolling, take up the offer from someone and talk to them, take their advice in seeking some REAL help.

Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

First off, Jesus Christ is the best friend a man can have! He will never leave you nor forsake you!!
Secondly, sometimes friends get a man in trouble so you better choose the right kind of friends.
Thirdly, you should possibly try to be a friend to someone else. You can be a friend to everyone you come in contact with and not necessarily be friends with them. But if you act in such a manner, it's just a matter of time before someone will want to be a friend to you.

Maybe you're just discriminating. I am acquainted with a lot of people who refer to me as their friend but it's not mutual. It doesn't mean that I don't like them. I just have a narrow concept of what being a real friend entails. My list of friends is short but for the few people on that list I would keep any confidence and give any material thing that is mine to give.

if 'on line friends' you mean no on social media, then yes I have some. At my age (late 50s) there are many I grew up with that are not on social media and I hate it. Some of them were close and its months and years between contact with them. After HS, we all went separate directions and developed new friends but its great to be able to see how we all grew as adults. For all the negativity social media possesses at least there is a way to assemble just like we did back at the mall. And its funny that those cliques we had - the nerds, jocks, freaks, band geeks, etc... - are gone now. We're all one bonded together by our childhood.

I don't really want to ignore you but unfortunately that is the only way to get these BS threads off my page.

Bye.

Church is a good place to find a good friend... There's churches that are open these days. I suggest you find a good place to go and show yourself friendly. Serve the Lord with all of your heart and you will find the peace and joy you are longing for.

Live by faith not by feelings!

To the OP, I dont know if you are depressed or a troll but either way, please seek help or counsel. As @Behr indicated, this site is a release for many of us who are going through issues. I'm right now watching my spouse fight like hell against an infection that is trying to kill her. I'm watching my 8 year daughter trying to process why her mom is in the hospital.

Please get help.

I have good friends from church we do things with, some at work, but the only one I constantly text or call is my buddy in Kentucky. Not that any of the others aren't important, just me and him been together since we were about 3, and the one person I can trust about anything. That's good to have.

I know you indicated that you were a member of a church before COVID. I would suggest starting back and meeting with a minister that can provide assistance. I know many of the people in the Zone are going through some bad stuff. This is an escape for them. They do not want to constant "woe is me" stuff. They are an accepting bunch. Even some have accepted me.

Not sure about this one.... listen brother we all have loss, heartache, loneliness and regrets. No one in this forum is as fubar as I am and have been for years. A month back I did something I have never done in person or online.... I posted/talked about why I had been absent from here for the past year. Actually opened up a bit about it. Did it help? I think it made me a bit more comfortable posting and interacting as I was not carrying that alone, but ultimately the issues, grief and determination to give in to my demons or fight it are mine and mine alone.

If you are hurting seek counseling or clergy to talk to. Focus on improvement.. hell, get mad, plant your feet and own what is yours to face. Detail a path to change, recover, move on and grow. Then enact that plan.

This is good advice from someone who struggles daily and wishes he had the strength to do this.


Make good choices
