28F, I am a “hopeless romantic” but no one is interested in me. I have asked several people out and have either gotten rejected or just ghosted. I’ve never actually dated anyone because no one is interested in spending time with me outside of the bedroom. I recently took a 6 month break from any type of dating apps or anything at all, and then I put myself out there and asked out a mutual friend upon the suggestion of multiple friends and got left on read.

I think I need to just accept my solitude and stop trying to change it. I just feel like my life is so pathetic compared to everyone else - my coworkers, my siblings, my friends, … for example, I spent the holiday inside doing nothing because I have no one to spend holidays with. I live far away from my immediate family, and all my friends have partners that they spend holidays with. (and I’m not invited). so I guess I just need to accept it. I have recently been taking up hobbies that I used to love as a kid, and I enjoy my time alone, but it still feels like there is an unfillable void in my life. any tips on how to stop wanting a relationship would be greatly appreciated

28F, 2.5 years in, working at a nonprofit. I don’t know if I can continue in this career. I dont feel capable. I have severe ADHD and chronic illnesses and I haven’t found a way to work with my brain so that I’m not constantly falling behind. I feel like I am drowning, there is always something big I’ve fucked up or forgotten. but I am single and live alone, I can’t really afford to take a break to try to figure things out. I feel hopeless and helpless. there is no way out. I can’t do this.

wondering if anyone has any tips for learning how to stop internalizing everything/taking things personally. I am 28F and learning that I’ve spent my entire life pretending to be somebody that I’m not because I have internalized every negative comment I’ve ever received. I guess I thought that if I became “perfect”, then everyone would like me and no one would ever have a bad thing to say about me. but obviously that’s not true. now I don’t know who i am, I don’t know how to stay true to myself without internalizing everything around me.
