I Know It's Silly But I Just Want To Be Loved (2)

1 Name: kastle : 2025-05-30 21:27 ID:GIz9vf/K [Del]

Look, I know this is going to just sound really silly, but I just want to experience romantic love. I'm 18, nearly 19, and I've never experienced anything romantic. At all. I've never been wanted like that. And it just hurts to see all of my friends getting into their first, second, third, even fourth relationships whilst I'm still waiting for someone to even hold my hand.

I think maybe the most hurtful part is that for all of my insecurities, all of my self-perceived flaws, everything I can think of that I feel like could be The Reason Why (not particularly feminine, alternative, autistic, mid-size), I have friends who are more extreme in each of those categories, and yet all of them are in happy relationships or have been in one. So I'm just left feeling like... oh. So clearly those things aren't necessarily deal breakers then. Maybe it is actually just me.

I'm not ugly. Objectively, I know I'm not. I mean, I'm not a smoke show, but I think I'm decent enough. When I take the time to put makeup on, I think I look quite pretty. Like, I've had selfies get put onto Pinterest before and the comment sections were really sweet and complimentary. Someone actually drew me, once!! Which is so cute!!!

So then, is it my personality...?
But I have dozens of friends. Genuinely, dozens. From primary, secondary, sixth form, university, online, family friends... People I'm all close with and talk to regularly. I have maybe 10 best friends. Which I know in itself is impossible but I feel like each and every one of them, I'm close enough with to consider them that. So I guess I am likable, then, if I have that many friends? ...But then why has no one ever liked me past that? I just don't understand.

PS:
Sorry, reading this back I feel like I sounded mean at the start talking about my 'flaws'. I don't mean to say anything mean about any of them, I don't think any of them are bad things at all. It's just like, in my head, they work for everyone else, but not me. Like, for example I've always been insecure about my weight at about a size 12-14 (UK), but I see women who are the same size or several sizes bigger and think they're gorgeous. To me, it's attractive... until it comes to my own body. Then not so much. Same goes for being autistic and on the masculine side. That's what i meant with that, sorry. I didn't mean to sound like I was being mean about those traits or about my friends.

This should be an easy choice (3)

Sorry if my english is bad, it's not my first language, thanks for reading

What should I do? I'm just your average teen student, I play the cello in our schools orchestra and I'm already about to enter senior high, I've been thinking about the future more, I haven't decided on what job I want but I also don't want to give up on playing the cello. I don't have a cello of my own but the school provides, downside is I can't take it home to practice. My teacher recommended to us to buy a cello of our own and going as far as to reach out to a shop in another city to help us buy the instrument since no one sells it here, problem is my parents kinda didn't like the idea of buying my own cello, the price is also high 700$, my dads reason is because it's "too heavy" for me and wants me to play the violin instead, while my mom think I won't be using it in the future so why buy (´•ω•̥`) my friends also had the same opinion, what if I stopped playing cello in the future, which kinda hurt me since why do they always think about the worst, don't they have any confidence in me? Lol ˃̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣ well tbh i also don't have the confidence, what if all the things they said came true? I'll just end up wasting my parents money, but I really don't want to give up on playing the cello,I love it, i want to be better at it, I only have two years left in my school, I'm losing hope just thinking about it

While those are all risks, and that has a possibility of happening I think you should go ahead with it, worst comes to the worst you can sell it on, otherwise you'll be able to continue doing what you love, I've had a guitar for about 11 years, and I had lost interest in it every now and then but I can't put it down nowadays to the point I've fallen asleep from playing it, I mean I hope you don't fall asleep while playing cello but yknow, I think you should go for it, if it's something you really enjoy doing it doesn't matter what anyone else says or thinks.

3 Name: Kami : 2025-05-30 16:00 ID:qZeZgY5k [Del]

Thank you for the kinds words, but unfortunately I couldn't buy the cello, my parents didn't let me because of the price but it's fine I've decided I'll just work harder so I can buy a cello with my own money, it did kinda hurt since I might have to stop playing for a while.i had doubts if I actually wanted to play the cello, since I felt sad doesn't that mean I really wanted to play the cello? Lol ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ◍)

I wish I lived somewhere where I could feel like a person (26)

I feel like a poser. I've been in a weird spot in life for the last 4, almost 5 months? I feel like I lack an identity or any sort of purpose. I have no means to express myself, people around me or way to pursue my goals. But I keep moving anyway, I keep finding things with meaning to me and I keep reminding myself of what I want to become. Because my purpose is to make it out of here. To move somewhere where I can express myself and have a shell to contain these, idk, shapeless goals and aspirations I have? I don't see a reason to exist, but there's a girl who loves me and wants us to live together. She's my hope and reminds me of my humanity. We live across the country and her life is so much better than mine, she's so much prettier than me and yet she still wants me there. Not just to rescue me, but because somehow a person like me can still bring value to her life. I can't ever stop looking up to her. But I want to be worth looking up to, too. I just need to keep praying and hoping that someday things will change and I can leave this mess I'm stuck in. Someday. As long as she's there on the other side of the screen, someday. Idk.

>>21 yeah I know right? It's so frustrating

25 Name: Vivi : 2025-05-25 15:12 ID:+05xG9MI [Del]

It's crazy that I've lived here for almost 2 months now. So much has changed since I first got here, I'm slowly inching my way to finding my own place to live, I'm desperately searching for work lol. I've started taking my art more seriously and I'm learning to draw for real and play drums. I journal every day to work on my memory, but sometimes I mess up and doomscroll for too long. I want a flip phone, I want a cd player, I want a digital camera. I'm too dissociated right now to really talk about myself much, but a lot has changed since then. I feel human, at least a little more than I did 3 months ago. June 14 marks the 1 year anniversary of when I first moved to Cali. Now I live here. This is my life now and I've ached for this. It's crazy how much has changed, I almost forget how badly I suffered. I live in a shelter now, yes, but the opportunity here is thick and tangible. I feel like I'm dreaming, but I've barely started. It only gets better from here, but the excitement's died down ever so slightly. Just enough for me to focus :>

26 Name: Vivi : 2025-05-28 02:11 ID:+05xG9MI [Del]

Today I got moved up to the dorms at my shelter! I'll be sleeping in a room for the first time in two months :> on June 14th I'm having a party with my friends to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of me first moving to cali! I'm excited :>

Sometimes, I hear a certain person’s voice too much and I start breaking down (2)

1 Name: UnAnonymous : 2025-04-09 23:30 ID:Q6hV+tIV [Del]

This person is my brother, he keeps talking to me, and I know he doesn’t have bad intentions, it’s just that I’m asking him to leave me alone a lot more, and I don’t want to hurt his feeling but at the same time, I just can’t deal with his voice after a while, I don’t know, my breathing gets quicker, I have to sit down, and I just start crying. I don’t want to be rude about it, but I feel like I am being rude by randomly crying or getting angry at him simply talking. I don’t want to do that to him, I just… do. What do I do?

2 Name: Lula : 2025-05-26 06:17 ID:k4jC4vBg [Del]

Depending on his age you might be able to just explain it to him, which granted doesn't solve that problem, it would just be a case of reassuring that it isn't his fault entirely, otherwise you should gently nudge him towards his room/out of yours, just be gentle with him, and if you feel this bad about it make up for it when you can, but he'll still love you the same either way, I'm sure

Posting without my usual name on here.

I've been struggling for a while now, I don't know what to do anymore, I've been wandering in the dark for so long now. I think id go blind if i saw the light. So i think ultimately i will go quietly into the night, i will not thrash or fight against it for it is already surrounding me, infiltrating every part of my being.

Life is about finding the right place to belong with the right people, everything kinda ends up being for other people somehow one way or another. Ironic coming from me while I wouldn't mind my country getting vaporized but yeah lol, find a good mental outlet for and eat well. Bad diet can get everyone in very dark places, use it as an excuse to eat nicer things like you deserve it lol

It's cool bro, make sure you stay consistent in your studies. Nothing wrong with using gpt either but don't ask it to solve problems for you, ask it to explain some things in detail but even then it can make a mistake. I use qodo gen in my programming IDE with a temp email as a free cheat for multiple models lol.

Take care jupi

3 Name: jupi : 2025-04-26 08:09 ID:XH1zL8X4 [Del]

I do sometimes use gpt to delve deeper into my questions, more so I feel my specification for my subjects are too vague. Feels they're missing key information to truly understand a topic I guess. Dw tho~ not a cheater, can't really with my country's exam system anyway xD to cheat models I use multiple accounts usually hahaha

You take care too Hunta :)) also whats qodo gen? am curious, I study computer science atm ^^

4 Name: Hunta : 2025-04-26 08:58 ID:us0UgqWt [Del]

Nice, I do computer communications but it's very close to computer science in a lot of ways. QodoGen is a plugin for visual studio code or jetbrain IDE's and it's basically a coding assistant, it can generate code or refactor among other things. It can do a lot of things like make a wrapper for your terminal lol, like I had to install gdb debugger extensions called gef and pwndbg. Problem is they all integrate in the same "gdb" command, gdb generated some script that made shortcuts for gdb-pwndbg and gdb-gef and you can switch between them

Anyway that's besides the point, overall you can ask it whatever even outside of coding instead of giving your phone number to official websites lol. The only drawback is that it's basically reading everything you write for training material so it could leak company code so watch out! Besides you need to focus on actually understanding things yourself and not asking it to solve things for you even though it's very tempting lol.

I've seen apps that basically helps you cheat interviews and recently a thing called Cluely that integrates into your real life conversations and tells you the right things to say, definitely not black mirror material.

Gonna bother you all with my life (14)

1 Name: AKira : 2016-01-11 05:31 ID:u7dlrcuC [Del]

As the title says I'm going to be bothering you lot about my life :) I'm a girl who's from a very well known family around my place. We are viewed as perfect and elegant. They all think it's nice and they believe that I'm lucky to be a part of this family, but little do they know what happens inside the house. Having a three story house is nice, but very lonely. Unfortunately it also echoes. For 15 years I have heard my parents fight over everything. They fight over food, clothes, work, money, school, responsibilities and what the community views us. I'm the eldest out of 3 children. Ever since I turned 3 and a half, I was taught how to be graceful, act ladylike and keep my mouth shut. I was sent to a very pricey school as well, I was the most respected student in my year group, due to my money and standing in society. It was nice and I felt superior for a while. But I was only deluding myself, when you have power you unconsciously form a lot of enemies. I was never bullied though. School was tolerable, but at home... In my 9 years of school life, I never experienced what it felt like to be greeted or to be said welcome home by my father. My life basically consisted of fights inside the house, strong facade at school, mature and gentle towards sisters and a stoic facade outside the house when we are talking to important people. My mother is the sweetest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. She's so pure and angelic but can be quite bipolar but hey all girls are bipolar :) sometimes I wonder how my mother ended up with a cold, strict and business minded man like my father. He did his role as a father well like, earning money (he earns too much money) leading an protectig the family but his mindset is always to have the male dominant and the women silent and obedient. Why am I writing about this? It's because for 15 years of my life I have finally spoken up. The girl who has her hair fancy and wore fancy dresses and nice high heeled shoes spoke up. The daughter who was told to hold her tongue and keep her thoughts to herself finally spoke up. I was scared. I couldn't breathe when I said it wasn't me who messed up his work table. You could guess what happens next since it was pretty obvious. I love my mother and sisters. Despite having a father like him, I still hold him in high regard surprisingly.

Thank you so much for your responses and I'm sure to take note of it. Although it is quite hard for me to find my 'escape' because my schedules are literally packed with lessons (I am actually in a business lesson right now, but I am so happy that you guys responded, so I took a risk) I will try to find a way to get out the pent up feelings.
Regarding >>4 I do a lot of martial arts and currently black belt in most of them. It helped me protect myself from others but my dad, since he does Aikido. (Unfortunately)
>>5 thank you so much for your response, and my father has a mindset of "women must stay quiet and obedient" and he clearly states this. And I have been finding ways like drawing, or painting. I also take calligraphy lessons.
>>6 child services would be quite difficult. I live in a small place and everyone knows each other, and if they find out what's going on my father would hear of it and there will be trouble.
>>8 yes I think it is the best way for me to be able to handle it.
>>9 music is a wonderful thing! And I have immersed myself in it. I currently play the violin and the piano and it definitely takes away my worries. As a fellow Catholic, I hope life is kind to you now.
>11 thank you so much for this response. And yes you are right I am currently 15, standing up will take a lot of courage but I will take you up in it with a few precautions.

I'm glad I was able to help lift your spirits. I hope your father is more respectful of your wishes in the future. And I'm actually a Christian, but close enough. Thankyou for your kind words, they mean alot to me. If you ever want to talk to me about something you can email me at blaze.dollars@gmail.com. Take care of yourself and try not to do anything to accidentally anger your dad. Even though he may not always deserve it, never stop respecting him. He is your dad after all. I'm sure he loves you, even though it may not always seem that he does. Also, I hope you get really good at violin and piano. I used to want to learn the violin but can't afford the lessons, let alone the instrument. And I love the way the piano sounds, it's just beautiful when played correctly. I wish you a wonderful and happy life. Go, and live life abundantly and to its fullest in God.

14 Name: AKira : 2025-04-19 14:58 ID:ZmbgJfym [Del]

Just wanted to say thank you almost a decade later. I don’t know if anyone is going to see this, but I’m glad to say that life had gotten better.

I ended up moving out three years later, learned how to make a living whilst studying in university, met the loml who I’m getting married to in a couple of months and a mother to several fur babies.

Life had not been easy but definitely happier. Thank you for keeping 15 year old me company and making her feel like she wasn’t alone during these times of hardship.

Also suffice to say I have learned how to use paragraph breaks haha!
