Don’t really know what I’m expecting here… I’m just venting I guess.

    Happy birthday man… Sorry I’d love to write a convincing and uplifting message but sadly today I don’t fee tool great. Haven’t really celebrated my birthday since I was 18… 31 now and I hang with people like once a year, my 30th was at home alone. Lots of anxiety and depression…

    Hope you feel better soon though, message if you want, I’ll want to listen! I can assure you I’m not too busy socialising instead! ;) Sounds boring and typical, bit go for a walk somewhere you haven’t been… Give you some fresh stimulation, and you’ll feel a little less trapped being stuck indoors.

    Would write more, but… I’m not feeling perfect, so I gave my best reply I could now. Stay well! :)

    Happy birthday! I hope you did nice things for yourself. I’ve spent quite a few major holidays alone, and after I got over the “social norm” aspect of my expectations, I actually ended up enjoying myself quite a bit. I hope you found your own path today.

    Hey, I don’t know if you have similar feelings to me when I was lonely like this. So this would be what I would tell myself during the darkest chapters.

    Being lonely isn’t a social failing, or an indictment on your personality. Social isolation is becoming a huge problem in a lot of cultures. I don’t think it’s likely that all these people are unlikeable or unlovable. I don’t know an easy fix, all I can say is be public with your interests and your enthusiasm for those interests can attract the right people. Stay strong. it’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

    Cheers, Sunroc
