Today's my birthday and the only happy birthday I got was an automated email from my work. I'll also be spending the day all by myself... Feeling so lonely rn. (lemmy.world)

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

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
