I joined this sub because my wife left me, took my step son away, and just ghosted me. I had made them my whole life, and with them gone I had no friends and nothing in my life. I was depressed and suicidal, and just needed people to talk to who would understand me.

Well my wife is still gone, I do still love her and miss her. I have made a lot of new friends over these last 6 months though. I have had new relationships too. I do still live alone and feel lonely from time to time. I just feel kind of hated by this sub for not being lonely enough, not depressed enough, and because I don't hate the opposite gender.

I still feel lonely from time to time and hate that feeling. I hate the idea that there are so many people who feel the same and just really need a friend or a tiny bit of help in their life. If I offer my advice and opinions I often anger half the subreddit. They think it's bad advice and it would never work because the other gender is evil and hates them. I fear saying I have successful relationships because it will just get me downvoted. I just wish some of you could stop, take a deep breath, and realize that you are all just people who want friends, relationships, to feel loved and cared about. Everyone (almost everyone at least...) here just wants to be happy, to find someone who will end their loneliness. I truly want that for each and every one of you.
