Missing Depth

Not sure if this is the right place for me talk about this and reveal.

I’ve been living alone all my life and as I get older I miss the depth of connection.

I did have friends but it’s not been the same.
They’ve got married and I am not able to relate to them anymore in many ways and the friendships have cracked.

As much as I make efforts to take care of my physical and mental health, life has its ways to take me on a downward spiral.

Of course, not all days are the same.
On some days I feel hopeful and on other days I feel extremely alone.

I’ve gone through some of the most challenging situations which nobody can imagine and I’ve managed to survive through it. I am glad that I am still alive. I am not exaggerating this.

I miss the depth of connection.
I know that I can be a good friend and a partner.
I choose to be childfree.

The emotional void is real.
I have career and financial goals. And it gets very lonely when I go through challenging situations.

I enjoy my alone time.
I prefer to talk less and listen more.
But it gets very lonely.

There’s this constant voice telling me that I am extremely alone and I have nobody.

I think life would be slightly better if I have someone to root for me. It could be from a friend / friends or a partner. Just saying.

Hello folks,

I am relatively new to Canada and I researching options to park about 10K dollars in a high yield savings account.

What could be the possible options for me?
I am gonna treat this as my emergency funds.

Thanks a lot for your inputs.

Is it worth buying a certified pre-owned iPhone 15 Pro Max from my telecom provider ( Fido )

I checked the battery information and apparently the device is 2 years old.

I want a phone that lasts atleast 5 years in my hands.
Would love to hear your thoughts and opinion.
Thanks a lot.

I was previously using Fold 2 and Fold 4, which didn’t last more than 2 years with me due to screen issues.

I recently shifted from Galaxy Fold to iPhone 15 Pro Max. One thing I miss is the call recording feature.

I understand iPhone is heavy on privacy and security, and it doesn't allow third-party apps or does not have native call recording apps.

I am looking for apps which can allow seamless recording without notifying the other party and does not go through the hoops of merging calls.

The call recording feature has saved me a lot of times through difficult situations when I was using the Android.

I am looking for a seamless call recording app which can help me record calls on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I appreciate your assistance and suggestions.

Hello folks,

I recently bought an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
I was using the Galaxy Fold device and I loved it very much.

Having a very difficult time adapting to the IPhone.
Especially because of the screen size and keypad size.

Is there a way to increase the size of the keyboard in iPhone 15 Pro Max?

So that the keypad is able to occupy a little more screen space?

Thanks for your inputs and suggestions.

I am restarting my daily breathwork and Meditation practice.

I used to post it on WhatsApp stories / Instagram stories, as an accountability after I finish the practice for the day.

Is there an app to streamline this?

An app like Strava for meditation?

I don't use meditation apps like Calm or Heads pace.

I do my own breathwork and Meditation practice.

I am looking for an app that can help to keep me on track with my Meditation and Breathwork practice. It's best if it also has a streak and community aspect to it.

Any suggestions?

I am at that stage of life where everything has been falling apart. It's been like that for the last 2 years.

As much as, I am trying to hold my mental balance and not lose my emotional stability, it does feel like I have nobody to even mention as an emergency contact.

Was doing well, but one bad decision got me spiraling.

I had quit a stable job to join a new role at a big 4 marketing agency. I was let go in a month in this new role. This means, I rocked the boat which was already sailing well to hop onto a bigger and fancier ship, only to fall into deep waters.

Been trying to stay afloat, but I think I am sinking.

For some reason - I lost friends, relationships broke down, got betrayed and I am merely surviving.

I try to do meditation and breathwork.

Rebuilding from scratch is not easy and it feels like i am shooting in the dark.

I am running out of savings. Looking for a job, trying to upskill in AI, building my network and reputation plus adulting feels like a heavy lift.

Some folks say that I have the depth of life experience and gone through a lot. I can't even open up to anyone because I cannot feed on the negative energy.

I am trying to remain positive and hopeful.

But, I am tired.

I am very alone although I am trying not be lonely.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: I appreciate all the people who commented and reached out to me. Please allow me time to respond to your messages and comments. Feels too heavy at the moment.
