Anyone else use this website to feel less lonely

Whenever I see a notification I don't think "oh yay someone has taken note of my existence", I think "oh yay someone has just wasted a few minutes of their lives replying to a post of no intellectual value, they are now a few minutes closer to death"

Ok so idk I feel like when I'm lonely I tend to use this website to vent or ask questions cause I typically get a lot of responses when I post and then it makes me feel better cause I feel like people are acknowledging me and so it's nice

Anyone else use this website as a coping mechanism for being lonely and bored cause this summer is just so long and boring it seems. I'm not enjoying it.

also another question has anyone else here met friends through tsr cause like idk personally I managed to sustain a friendship with someone i met off here for 3 years and we met in person 3 times also

I met someone who used to be a regular here, 3 times irl. Not sure what happened to her now. Then I chatted up someone who wasn't a regular, and amazingly became this person's partner. (We still talk on other mediums so that's fine).
Are you still in touch with that person you met?

Same here. I suffer from Social Phobia and agorophobia/panic attacks. Although I know that I ought to be "getting out there" and meeting people, I find it incredibly uncomfortable and actually quite traumatic. On here I can be myself, find out useful stuff for my son, have a laugh [ or a moan] and, what I enjoy most on here and get the most out of , which is trying to help and advise people. It makes me feel useful and gives me a purpose.

loneliness is a social construct

I get what ur saying

Irl i feel like the person whos there that people say hi to and are nice to but never properly care about, no-one really misses you if youre not there....
So here I'm happy that I managed to find some people who for some reason find me interesting and care about my existence, it gives you a nice feeling

Just realised this sounds proper depressing

Honestly like idk what's happening but suddenly now I haven't been to uni for a month the activity on the group chat has just come to a standstill and my friends don't seem bothered to talk to me

I used to. And it did help. Now I just use it when bored tbh.

Tis natural, they have their own lives to live after all
