Les cuanto lo que me pasa, por circunstancias de la vida perdí a todos mis amigos y no tengo a nadie con quien hablar. En los últimos años mi vida se fue en pique, perdí mi trabajo, tuve problemas de salud y tuve que volver a vivir con mi mamá. Me siento como un fracaso y pienso que he cometido muchos errores en mi vida que simplemente ya no puedo arreglar, tango además muchos problemas de autoestima y todo esto me causa constante sufrimiento mental. Ahorita ya no le encuentro sentido a la vida y solo pienso en suicidarme, quisiera encontrar un amigo con quien platicar que me pueda un consejo o guiarme un poco sobre qué hacer, no quiero consejos de que le eche ganas o de que la vida es bonita, me gustaría hablar con personas que hayan estado en el abismo, que hayan querido quitarse la vida y que hayan logrado salir adelante, ¿Cómo seguir cuando ya nada te da felicidad en la vida?

Hey everyone,

I'm Dan from Mexico.

I've been on Reddit for a while, and one thing I've noticed is that making friends online is surprisingly hard. A lot of conversations only last a few messages before someone disappears, or they become really one sided, where one person is doing all the talking and the other barely responds.

So I figured I'd try something different and just be honest about what I'm looking for.

I recently moved and don't really know many people here. I've also lost touch with a lot of my old friends over the years, and if I'm being honest, I've been feeling a little lonely lately. I'd love to meet people who are interested in more than just small talk. I'm hoping to find people who want to build a genuine connection and eventually feel comfortable talking about deeper or more personal things too.

That said, I know life gets busy. I don't expect anyone to reply instantly or spend all day chatting. Long conversations every day can be exhausting. I don't mind slow replies at all. What I care about is consistency and effort.

I also think it's important to acknowledge that talking to a stranger is usually kind of awkward at first. Friendships don't magically happen in the first few messages. It takes a bit of extra effort from both people to get past that stage.

And one thing I really appreciate is honesty. If you're bored, if a topic doesn't interest you, or if you feel like we don't really click, I'd much rather hear that than get ghosted.

A little bit about me:

I'm a digital artist, and I'm interested in pretty much anything related to visual storytelling, movies, TV shows, animation, and anime. My favorite genres are horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

Lately, I've also become interested in philosophy. I'm still very much a beginner, so it would be great to meet someone who could point me in the right direction. Even though I haven't read a lot yet, I've spent a lot of time thinking about my own ideas, and it's always fascinating when I discover that some philosophers have explored similar concepts.

I also enjoy talking about psychology and how we can apply what we learn about ourselves to personal growth and living better lives.

Science and technology interest me as well, although I don't think we need to share the same hobbies or passions to get along. In fact, I enjoy talking to people with completely different interests because it gives me a chance to learn something new and see the world from another perspective.

I don't care about your gender, background, or where you're from. I enjoy meeting people from all kinds of cultures and experiences. Some of the best conversations happen when someone introduces you to a perspective you've never considered before.

If you're genuinely looking for a meaningful connection, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself and what you're hoping to find here too.

Hola a todos.

No sé muy bien cómo empezar esto, pero necesito hablar con alguien que entienda lo que estoy viviendo.

Desde hace casi dos años me siento atrapado en un sufrimiento que parece no tener fin. Todas las mañanas despierto con miedo de que empiece un nuevo día porque sé que tendré que volver a enfrentar los mismos pensamientos, la misma angustia y la misma falta de ganas de vivir.

Ya no disfruto casi nada. Me cuesta encontrar motivación para hacer cualquier cosa y muchas veces lo único que quiero es quedarme acostado y desconectarme de todo. Siento que estoy sobreviviendo, no viviendo.

Lo que más me asusta es que el suicidio se ha convertido en un pensamiento constante. He llegado a hacer planes y eso me da miedo. Al mismo tiempo, hay una parte de mí que sigue aferrándose a la vida. No quiero morir, pero tampoco sé cómo seguir soportando este dolor. Me siento agotado y desesperado.

Por eso estoy escribiendo aquí.

Si alguna vez estuviste en un lugar parecido y lograste salir adelante, me gustaría escucharte. Quiero saber qué te ayudó, cómo encontraste esperanza cuando parecía imposible y qué hiciste para empezar a sentirte mejor.

En este momento me siento muy solo en esta experiencia. Las personas que me rodean intentan ayudarme, pero siento que nadie entiende realmente lo que está pasando por mi cabeza.

Gracias por leerme.

Hi everyone,

I'm Axl, and I'm looking to meet some new friends.

A little about me: over the past few years, I've gone through some serious health challenges that led me to move back to my hometown and live with my mom again. During that time, I lost a lot of friendships. I was struggling with depression and dealing with intense emotions, and I understand that it became overwhelming for some of the people around me.

Thankfully, I'm doing much better now. Life is slowly moving in the right direction, although I'm still rebuilding and figuring things out one step at a time.

What I'm hoping to find are friends who have been through difficult periods in their own lives and can relate to that kind of journey. I'd love to have honest conversations about mental health, personal struggles, growth, and recovery. I'm always happy to listen and offer support as well. I believe life can be incredibly challenging at times, but having people who genuinely understand and care can make a huge difference.

One thing that came out of my experiences is that I've become much more interested in spirituality. I've been studying Buddhism and Hinduism, and I'd love to connect with people who share those interests. If you follow a different faith or spiritual path that has helped you through hard times, I'd be genuinely interested in hearing about your experiences. I'm not particularly religious myself, but I've seen how meaningful faith can be when life gets difficult.

I'm also passionate about personal growth, psychology, philosophy, and any conversations that help us better understand ourselves and the world around us.

At the end of the day, I'm simply looking for genuine friendships where we can support each other and make life a little easier to navigate.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to send me a DM. I'd love to hear from you.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to make some new friends online.

Over the last few years, I've been dealing with some health issues that forced me to move back in with my mom. Thankfully, my recovery has been going well, but the isolation has been difficult. I used to spend most of my time out with friends, and now I barely know anyone in the area where I live.

I also spent most of my life staying away from social media and online communities, so I'm still not very accustomed to meeting people through the internet. That said, I genuinely enjoy getting to know others, and I always make an effort to stay in touch with people who want to build a real connection.

Going through this experience made me much more introspective and encouraged me to focus on personal growth. Because of that, I love conversations about life experiences, personal philosophies, and the different ways people make sense of the world. I've spent time studying Eastern philosophy and spirituality, so those are topics I'm always happy to discuss. More generally, I enjoy conversations that explore deeper questions about human experience, consciousness, and reality.

On a less existential note, I'm very interested in cinematography and storytelling in all its forms. I'm also a huge anime fan. My favorites, in order, are Naruto, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, One Piece, and Demon Slayer.

I enjoy horror movies as well, and I'm honestly not very picky when it comes to them. I'll never turn down a good '80s slasher or a possession film. My favorite horror franchise at the moment is Terrifier. Not because of the gore, but because I really enjoyed the direction it took starting with the second film. The cosmic struggle between good and evil, combined with the fantasy elements and Sienna's characterization as a warrior angel, made it far more interesting to me than a typical slasher series.

Recently, I've also become very interested in artificial intelligence. Not so much from the technical side, although I've spent plenty of time learning about it, but from the perspective of how it will be implemented and integrated into society. I follow discussions about AI policy, governance, and alignment quite closely.

I believe AI has enormous potential to improve human life, but I also think we should be thoughtful about the incentives driving its development. Too often, technological progress is guided primarily by short-term economic interests. I'd rather see these technologies developed in ways that support long-term human flourishing and social well-being. In my view, technological advancement should be accompanied by growth in wisdom, responsibility, and collective consciousness.

Those are some of my interests, but honestly, I'm open to talking about almost anything. I enjoy learning new things and hearing different perspectives. More than just casual conversations, I'm interested in building genuine, long-lasting friendships with people who are willing to invest in getting to know one another.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out.

I think one of the worst parts about severe depression is realizing most people dont actually know how to be with someone in that kind of darkness.

When your whole inner world turns gray its not just sadness anymore. Its like everything gets pulled into the same void. Every thought, every memory, every interaction ends up feeling hopeless somehow. And people around you notice it too. Thats why a lot of them end up pulling away. Not always because they dont care, but because they get scared when they look into that abyss with you.

People always try to give advice or hope or reasons to keep going but when youre deep enough into that state those words dont really reach you. Sometimes they even feel irritating because theyre talking to you from outside the darkness while youre drowning inside it.

What most people want in that moment isnt motivation. Its someone who can sit there with them without panicking. Someone who understands what its like to wake up exhausted by existence itself. Someone who doesnt immediately try to fix you or run away when they realize how deep the hopelessness goes.

I had a psychotic break some time ago and it destroyed my life completely. Lost people I loved, lost purpose, lost myself honestly. Since then every day feels heavy. I stay in bed as long as I can because being conscious hurts sometimes. I tried finding things that make me feel alive again but it honestly feels like something inside me died and never fully came back.

I dont really fear death anymore. Sometimes it feels more like relief than anything else. But at the same time there are still things I want to experience somehow. Small things maybe, but enough to make me keep going one more day even if I dont fully understand why.

So if youre someone living in that same darkness right now just know there are people out there who actually understand because theyre in that same place too. Im one of them.

Maybe we dont know how to get out of this yet. Maybe some days we dont even want to. But at least we dont have to stand at the edge alone pretending were okay while everyone tells us to smile.

So lets just keep moving for as long as we can. One more night. One more conversation. One more moment of feeling understood before the void swallows everything again.
