Another Sack of Sad

On the surface I seem normal enough. Yes we all have stories and problems, but I am now in a place where I do not have one close person to talk to, no exaggeration. I'm become eerily self-conscious of how no one else is alone when I get out to brave society, they don't like our kind, all those looks and questions. I've had amazing relationships and connections in the past, I miss that so much it hurts, they've all moved on, it was a lifetime ago. I've tried all, okay most, of the things to try, and I'm tired of trying, it's been oh so long, years and years. Either I'm broken or it's something in the air, time, and space. Other Sacks, how do we get in touch? To moan and weep... and eat and live life again, together. People give up so easily now, I would happily meet those who have the willingness to be friends through thick and thin, no more of those judgemental fair-weathered fuckers.

Try Vancouver4friends. Or the "party for health" group. Or meetup.

It's even easier if you're in school, as they have social clubs and whatnot. But I'm guessing that you're either working now or are not able to work at this time or whatever the case may be.

If you're religious/spiritual, try there as well. Or library groups of some sort?

Of course all this will be difficult if you have social anxiety disorder and do not have $ for psychotherapy.

Lastly, all human beings are essentially the same deep down. Our clothes are different, but we all want to belong.

It would be nice not to spend every weekend alone...
I’m always everyone else’s sounding board. I can’t remember the last time someone asked how I was and then actually *gasp* listened.

@Thick, my umbrella has also been overworked.
@Hi, hello really yes!
@Same, yes to real listening and conversing, not being talked at or fixed is a treat.

Thank you for your responses are heartening if anything, do you know how to go about this, another platform to message, or dive in and meet?

I grew up with a group of people but my passion laid elsewhere, something that's hated on. I gave up everyone to pursue this and I did it in my early 20s so going from a group of 30+ friends parties, socializing, sports, trips to a hermit, it was depressing, social media made it worse seeing all the times I could've been involved but eventually I fell in love with being alone, I went hiking, got fit and just made goals, sorry but long story short.

Get use to enjoying the things you like on your own, stop worrying about old friends, other people, whomever and eventually people with the same interest will come into your life just like that.

common denominator in all the failed relationships is you.
Maybe, just maybe you find yourself alone because you deserve to be.
I have a relative that no one has anything to do with. Why? Because everyone this person has a relationship with evolves into 'what can I get from them'. And its always about money. Eventually family, friends and coworkers all end all contact. Not saying it is you but look into that aspect, if it could be you seek some professional help and rewire your life for success.

Wow, is all I can say. Start a blog and put this kinda stuff out there. People need to hear how hard it is to pick up after being drug through hell, however it might have happened.
