Do you know the cruelest thing about loneliness?

It doesn’t kill you by never leaving, it kills you by leaving.

It disappears for a while, just long enough to make you believe you are finally free. It lets a little light enter the cracks it created, lets you feel the warmth of happiness, only to return and leave behind a silence that feels even heavier than before.

And when it comes back, it doesn’t return as the same loneliness you knew before. It comes back heavier, colder, and more familiar like a ghost that knows your name and a shadow that knows exactly where to find you.

And the cruelest tragedy is not being alone, it is remembering what it felt like not to be.

Hey! I'm 26 M, finished my bachelor's in 2024, and have been working since then.

I've never dated anyone before. Had a few crushes over the years, but things just never worked out. I'm an introvert, so I don't talk much at first, but once I'm comfortable, I'm actually pretty funny or at least that's what people tell me .

I'm here hoping to find someone I can build a genuine connection with. Someone I can be my real self around, show my childish side, and talk to for hours or just listen to.

If you're looking for something serious and want to see where things go, let's connect and give it a try.

I’ve been feeling empty for a long time and don’t know what’s wrong with me

I’m writing this because I don’t really have anyone I can openly talk to about how I feel.

I have always been dealing with this constant sense of emptiness. It’s not something recent, it’s been there for years. I can’t really stay happy for long. Even when things seem okay on the surface, the feeling eventually comes back.

Most of the time, I feel low, and the hardest part is I don’t even know what I actually need or what’s missing. This sadness turns into laziness, which leads to being unproductive and it becomes a cycle I can’t seem to break.

It’s not like I’m not trying. I go out with friends, go on treks, ride around, watch movies and series. I try to stay engaged and distract myself. But no matter what I do, after some time, I end up feeling the same again. It always feels like something is missing.

I’m about to turn 26. I work as a software developer, doing okay, but nothing special, and I’m planning to start my master’s soon. I live on rent in Kathmandu, and most of my income goes into rent and basic expenses, so I don’t really have much savings yet except some small investments.

I’m an introvert and not very good at conversations. I do have friends, but I still feel like I don’t have anyone I can truly open up to when I feel like this. I’ve never been in a relationship. I liked someone before, but I got rejected, and nothing really happened after that.

I’ve tried different things to feel better, but nothing seems to last. I always end up back in the same place.I don’t know if this is something others go through or if there’s actually something wrong with me. If you’ve felt like this for a long time, how did you deal with it? What actually helped?

What's your opinion about a shy overthinking guy. How would you deal with them if one came in to your dm?

Do any of you follow osho? If yes then why? Also, what kind of people should listen and follow him.?

Is falling for someone and waiting for them really worth it? Even if you have no idea whether it's gonna be a happy or tragic ending?
