So that we can all be friends, I will not share my social media with any of you.

This is not the original post but I'm sorry I was unprepared. I'm sure I will be sharing social media with a few people from the message requests I've gotten. I will not be sharing social media with people that I haven't at least talked to for a day. <br><br>If you want social media, please show me you don't plan on attacking me without cause. I've done this before in the past and it was a horrific experience and I'm not going to do that again. I refuse to feel bad for being paranoid when it comes to my safety. <br><br> <br>I have been using this Chambers on and off to help me feel less lonely and it’s been very helpful. I’ve gotten to know a few people here and made a few friends.<br><br>I am not looking for a romantic relationship, just pure friendship and that means we have to get to know each other first. <br><br>There may not be a set definition of loneliness but I know what it feels like and how it affect me, and it is not easy to explain. I feel a deep sadness, a lack of purpose, and a lack of willpower to interact with others, and some other things that I really cannot put into words. I’m not sure I can explain what I feel at all but I know it isn’t depression. It is just a feeling of loneliness and it is not the same as depression and for the first time in my life, I understand that. <br><br>I have been lonely for as long as I can remember and I have become very good at hiding it. Even people that are close to me do not realize I feel this way. I have been lonely even when I have lots of friends around me, such as when I was in high school. I wish I had realized I was lonely then and I would have been more vocal about it. <br><br>I am 26 now and I am more lonely than I have ever been. I live alone and I work a job where I am by myself most of the day. I spend most of my days alone and I don’t leave my apartment much. I have spent some many days in a row without leaving my home and interacting with no one but myself. <br><br>My solution to this was to talk to people online. I would chat with people on different social media platforms, including in this website. Talking to people online has been very helpful in reducing my loneliness but it isn’t enough. <br><br>I have been talking to one of my online friends about this feeling and she had a very simple solution: share social media with everyone so that we can be friends.<br><br>It doesn’t take a lot to be my friend. All you have to do is be friendly and talk with me sometimes. If you show any interest in my life and talk to me regularly, I will care about you and be there for you. Share with me your passions and your accomplishments and I will be happy for you. I will support you and I will be there for you when you need someone to talk to. <br><br>I hope I am not sounding too pathetic or desperate. I want to make real connections with other people and I feel like this is my only chance. I feel like the only reason other people talk to me is because we work in the same place or go to the same school. <br><br>I just want some friends that I can connect with on a deeper level. I want to know that there are people that care about me.<br><br>If you want to be my friend, please send me a message or a chat.<br><br>Edit:<br>I think I may have come off as too friendly with some people I’ve met. I think some people might take advantage of my kindness.
