Reddit, I'm a sad lonely mess.
There is no simple story of how I got here. Part of it was the abusive childhood I lived through, part of it some toxic beliefs I picked up about love and relationships along the way, part of it my seemingly endless battles with my depression, and part of it just some poor choices.
Whatever the path, the fact is that now I'm alone and lonely. And I'm sad. Really, really sad. I feel repulsed by myself, and like I'll never deserve to have someone who loves me. The only places on the internet that seem to offer any kind of support for men in my situation are full of toxic misogyny, hatred and worldviews so pessimistic and misanthropic I can't imagine ever being happy by subscribing to them.
So I'm trying something different. I'm thinking maybe I can meet a lady here, who has her life together and has had meaningful and fulfilling relationships, that can help me see things from her perspective. Help me honestly and fairly judge where my problems lie, and maybe share her thoughts and encouragement on what I could do to become someone better. Someone you'd actually want to date if you had the chance.
I should make clear that I'm not expecting for this to turn into any kind of relationship, and in some ways it would be easier if it didn't. What I would love is a friend to confide in and share myself with, and who'd be willing to offer her compassion and insight into what I can do better in between having a laugh, sharing memes or watching The Last of Us together.
If you'd be willing to help, I'd love to hear from you.
