Hey :) Im new here but was looking for a place to chat when I'm feeling lonely as well. I used to also be the friend who did all the listening and comforting, without feeling like I was heard or comforted. It seems like most people feel like if you're willing to listen to their problems and comfort them, then it's because you don't have any problems of your own or need any comfort. Or at least no problems you might feel like sharing. But in my case I just never liked discussing my issues because it felt like others would not know understand it. Being empathetic is a real gift, it turns out.

@da-pic this makes me sad to see. I have just joined this site today, hoping for an anonymous site where I feel free to unload questions, thoughts, opinions, and personal experiences without fear of repercussion or dick pics. It's upsetting to hear I may have just found another tinder type site. It can test my sanity at times.

@xcookiemonsterx wow, love this. So thought provoking. The best quote I can think to counteract the feelings of despair this may bring me is by Orson Welles, "We are born alone, we live alone, and we die alone. It is only through our love and friendships we create the illusion, just for a moment, that we are not alone,"
