Cansada de las mentiras en esta vida. (3)

1 Name: Nekomo : 2026-02-08 04:13 ID:xoAaMtuW [Del]

Hola, recién me vi envuelta en una situación un tanto... complicada. Soy una persona que cree plenamente que una relación (no necesariamente romántica) funciona en base al respeto y sobre todo confianza. Así como la otra persona confía en mi, yo debo de confiar en ella, si, entendiendo que algunas cosas es preferible no contarlas en X momento, pero tarde o temprano uno lo tendrá que decir, es en esos momentos donde realmente confiamos en la otra persona pero... ¿Qué sucede cuando aun así, la otra persona miente? ¿Te llevarías una decepción? ¿Es doloroso? ¿Te sentirías traicionado? Yo sentí todo eso y tal vez un poco mas cuando me vi envuelta en toda esta situación. Mi respeto, confianza, cariño y demás cosas, se convirtieron en ira... en odio hacia aquella persona.
Pero aun así, tengo una sonrisa en mi rostro y le digo "Todo estará bien" cuando realmente nada esta bien. Quisiera solo desaparecer y no volverlo a ver, olvidarme de esta persona y dejar todo atrás, pero no es fácil olvidar a alguien con quien pasaste buenos momentos, con quien compartiste tanto y a su vez nada... Todo era una fachada para acercarte a ti.
Fui una tonta al caer dos veces en el mismo truco, el no saber que es real y que realmente es verdad, cuando tu eras el más verdadero de ambos. Aun me duele pensar en esto, fue una puñalada directa al corazón. Cuando todo esto sucedió yo solo tenia una sonrisa falsa en mi rostro y repitiendo las mismas palabras "Todo estará bien" "Seguiremos con esto" "No te puedo odiar" Pero nada podía seguir igual... No se que hacer, esa persona llego a ser alguien importante para mi, no mentía cuando me preocupaba por el, no mentía cuando reíamos, no mentí en ningún aspecto... Pero el, decidió traicionarme... no tengo el suficiente coraje para decirle en la cara todo lo que he escrito aquí, lo único que puedo hacer es ahogarme en mi propio sufrimiento.

Nearly hanging in life (3)

1 Name: Est : 2026-01-25 16:57 ID:hNBrVsZs [Del]

I don't understand why, but I feel so guilty whenever l open up about myself or my mental health. It's like I'm a negative person and some other stuffs. It makes me feel so pathetic.

2 Name: 1dolr : 2026-02-16 22:06 ID:4cC9iMyA [Del]

I hope nobody in your life is making you feel that way, but I get how it feels from within.

you're not a negative person. you're not pathetic. everyone struggles - not to minimize your feelings, but just to say, everyone has negative moments. its part of life. its totally fine to be in the dumps sometimes, esp if you're dealing with mental health issues.

maybe see if there's anyone in your life you can help a little. anyone you can make smile. anything you can do to brighten another's day. even a pet or a plant counts. make note of those things, each little one. write them down in a notebook, even, give yourself a physical record to look back on - and pat yourself on the back for them, cuz you deserve it. let them stack up, and congrats, you are, objectively, a positive influence on the world ! maybe that could combat the guilt, then. 'I've helped others a lot, I can give myself a break and be helped instead sometimes'

cuz it feels good to help other people. & /letting/ people help you back, even if it's only a tiny amount, lets them feel good about themselves, too. People connect through ALL emotions, not just happiness, yknow?

& always thank people for trying, even if they couldn't help you a whole lot. it's good to take a moment to acknowledge the effort. acknowledge that you're loved. even while sad. you'll prob feel a little better just for that, and the other person will too

hey @1dolr thanks for this. some stuff you have mention so ive been doing that ever since 2019 when i met my bestfriend who i think of it as a family.

During my Highschool and Senior Highschool Days wayback ive always been used, fake friends even i want to hang out it, betrayed since then ive developed PTSD even finishing highschool when i enter Senior Highschool i was very independent on my own yet i still drop even 4 subjects left no issues on grades, im happy yet i felt something missing and i even questioned that day why did i dropout then developed depression with PTSD triggering.

Thats when 2019 comes in what i have mentioned etc. I really did my best and everything outcomes too yet during this year 2026 college im only 2 subjects left yet i cannot fufill its transfer school or continue due for issues the Dean and Chairprogram questioned hints me that its impossible now to finish.

The issues i have mentioned it started on December because of burnout from research yet this 3 members i have in groups are scared for the leader or stand up i couldnt even brin it to dean due it might backfired and it did happen ko January just WOW. Going back in burnout in December my bestfriend and i were playing yet gets mad on me even hurtful messages i just get down and shutdown thinking what i have done i just want to enjoy our momemts. Now in January i mentioned this problem yet the conversation gets thru chaotic even hurtful messages and bringing up past even the person is changed. I havent gone to school in the start of January till today now. I even used SWEAR for last chance because im going to set it right now this kind of situation and all. Because we shared the dream plans and goals as well.

Letter to the girl who was once my sister (1)

1 Name: Angelus ex Machina : 2026-02-26 17:19 ID:+304uDUi [Del]

That was my home. My family, my dogs, my house, my sister. That was the one time in my life I had stability. It was cruel for you to treat me like that. After everything we did, everything your parents did for me, after you and them tried so hard to get me back to a stable proper life. You've become a horrible person, and your cruelty took away so much. I still can't see you the way you see me. I still see you as family in a way. That never got addressed. I never got the closure. I was only made to feel insecure about myself for whatever reason, and to feel like I lost my home because of "childishness." Fuck you :< I've been realizing that you never cared about me even when you said you did. But somehow, even after we stopped being close, you decided you could pet me because you want to, text me when you were h*rny for whatever reason, talk about your body in weird ways, get close to me randomly. Act unpredictably because you know I'll put up with whatever defense you make. It's so cruel. You're a horrible and disgusting person. I feel so taken advantage of. I wish I wasn't always so scared of you because I don't think you meant to hurt me. You're just immature.

I wish I could've said goodbye.

Realizing your parents don't know anything (2)

Every now and then I realize that some of the things my mom say are just straight up lies. Like if she doesn't know an answer to a question, she'll just make it up. Or she'll see something on Facebook and call that a reliable source. Its annoying.

2 Name: Wolf_ren : 2026-02-22 01:52 ID:1n22wjV4 [Del]

Older generations really started out with "You can't believe stuff you read online, anyone could have made that up!" Only to turn around and swallow whatever charismatic influencer or ai has to say (but somehow still resort back to "the internet isn't trustworthy" When it comes to peer reviewed journals)

I wish I lived somewhere where I could feel like a person (39)

1 Name: Vivi : 2025-03-11 16:45 ID:9IGBrvet [Del]

Deleted this in another thread and posting it here instead
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.

Time for an update. I decided to stay. I'm confronting the fact that she abused me, and working on it. I'm trying to get better and I'm confident I will! There's a girl I have a crush on, I might shoot my shot soon. I'm broke as fuck, unemployed and still homeless though :p but I moved to a new shelter! It's a lot better here and I actually feel like I can work on my traumas properly now.

I went out today and spend a portion of my dwindling cash supply on cd's and books. My new shelter is near a record store and a small downtown area. It's really nice, there's more homes and parks and places to go. I fit in a lot better in smaller places.

I'm worried about my head. 3 concussions in a row has had some awful side effects, I'm still recovering from the last one. I've decided to try to quit instagram and youtube for a bit because doomscrolling is only gonna make things worse. My life's starting to calm down in the right ways, my confidence is starting to manifest itself. I'm getting seen as a girl a lot more now, which surprises me. I still feel the same, but I know everything's changed. This is the first time in my life I've felt fully human. I still have a lot to learn.

Sick.

Glad to hear things have gotten better for you ^w^ Swapping insta/YT for books and records is super neat, I wish I had the power to stop doomwcrolling ;-;

Used to be in a shelter myself, nice to hear yours is in a place that makes you feel good + you have access to things that make you happy, that first time feeling fully human is relatable as hell. I hope things only continue to improve for you ^w^

semi-hopeless crush, what to do (3)

1 Name: in full psychosis rn : 2026-01-17 18:01 ID:oaj4m3Oj [Del]

what do i do...
i'm crushing on my friend who happens to be like, the center of our friend group, she's the main character, she's so charismatic, everyone is drawn to her and loves her, and i want to confess.
but here is the thing, she has many mini crushes going on at once at all times, and i am one of those mini crushes to her (heard it from her herself and from my friend who is closer to her and has insider info), but right now she's trying to move on from an unrequited BIG crush on one of our mutual friend. i wasn't supposed to know that she even had a big crush on this guy because this was insider info, and before i knew about it, i felt pretty good about maybe confessing to her because it felt okay and safe. but now that i know, i'm starting to notice how much she's very much not over him and how much she tries to get his attention and everything, and it's fucking me up in the head so much because it really feels like there's no place for me here.
i talked about it to my friend with the insider info and she told me that i really shouldn't worry about it, that nothing's going to happen between them because she Has given up (but witnessing everything i've witnessed i think she's still down bad), and that i just need to show signs of attraction to her for her to maybe start being more interested in me, and that i should still try confessing because we're so compatible that it'd be a shame to miss out on a great relationship due to my doubts.
but here is the thing, i've just been growing more and more uncertain and insecure, and i don't feel like she needs that kind of weight at the moment and i don't want to be a burden to her. so i don't know if confessing just 'cause is a good idea anymore because i'm carrying all of this baggage and she's still stuck up on that guy who doesn't love her back and i don't think i have it in me to compete with her obsession? like i love her so much and i really want the best for her, but i feel like i'd be imposing my unflattering self to her by asking her out. and i know it's up to her to make the decision in the end but i still don't want to show a pathetic side of myself and run the risk of making a really nice friendship turn awkward.

Pal... If you really love her then be a good friend to her. You know, being devoted and resilient means you can patiently support your friend, never rush. Like Masaomi supported Anri, even though he loved her. He respected her own choice but was acting as he felt like, never pushing, never rushing or forcing. And he understood his own feelings towards Saki. And Anri understood her feelings towards Mikado.

I think the right way is to be patient and supportive. Your dear friend is in the tornado of feelings, unable to stop. So be the harbor for her. Let her live through her storm, accept her opinion, listen to her rants and confession and just be a good pal. So when the time pass she might understand who is really important to her - that 'big' crush or this patient friend, who allow her to be as she are, with trust and support.

And I'm more than sure that rushing will destroy the friendship, exactly because it's so tangled and unstable now. Provide the stability first. Be calm, be strong, show her the acceptance and respect. And never expect anything in return. Because if you will - it will turn into business and manipulation, not the real love. And girls feel it with gut - you can be sure.

If your love is true you will understand. If you want her body only - then you might rush and ruin. Love isn't something fragile, that someone can ruin it from outside. So just let her know your feelings with your patient care.

(OP here)
so i actually confessed lol and it went really well and i'm not in psychosis anymore.
we're not going out, we're trying to see what can work for us and we communicate, and it might not end up in a romantic relationship but i'm really happy to have been able to open up and to be able to talk to her honestly!
if this can serve as a lesson for anyone out there lol

Im Tired (12)

1 Name: Zero : 2025-02-18 13:22 ID:7eN5jLps [Del]

thats it, im just tired, tired of pretending, of faking but thats not even the problem, im so tired i cant feel anything anymore besides loneliness and regret and i dont even know what to do, therapy hasnt helped and i have good friends with whom i talk about this but im not improving, im not getting better besides im getting worse.So thats it, i give up, not in a suicidal way but i will just do what i've been doing for the past 8 years, just keep living without hoping a change, it will happen or it wont but im not caring anymore about anything. I wanted to post this in case anyone is in the same place and dont know what to do, it doesnt work for everyone, but you could try it while you find your solution.
Hope u all have a great day

Going home (1)

1 Name: Lep : 2025-12-18 04:10 ID:uSoyPDnJ [Del]

I really hate going home for the holidays. As a consequence, I also dont like the holiday season in general. I dont like it because I have to be around ny family, of which the worst of them is definitely my mother. She is the most severe and intense person I think to have ever walked the Earth. She switches from being the doting, sweet, loving, patient, forgiving parent to a harsh, unforgiving, angry, cynical, abrupt woman all in a split second. It is always so jarring when she switches. I know she probably has a disorder of some sort but she refuses to see a psychologist so we all pretty much have to live it it. Especially me, her only daughter, and I feel a bit that she targets me specifically. She somehow manages to hold me accountable for anything that has gone wrong (including anything that is wrong with my brothers), while simultaneously treating me like a stupid child that is completely incapable of understanding the world. I think that the worst part is the screaming. She yells at all of us, and she yells and yells and yells until her voice is soar and it comes out as a rasp. When she cant be loud with her voice, thats when she starts to slam things, with the sole purpose of striking fear into whoever she's talking to. I cant really complain, it used to be so much worse, especially for me. In that regard its gotten better, and hopefully ill just be home for two weeks before I go back. She did kick me a few months ago, pretty much on a whim, she gave no reason just started yelling "get the fuck out, get the fuck out of my house, I am livid, I am livid". She then brought me back in but its really scary bc when we asked her about it later she just said that she put me in "time out". She's in one of those awful moods right now, and im scared she will do that again or she will check my phone. There is nothing bad on my phone except for my messages with my friends, which aren't bad either, she just hates when I talk more with my friends than my family. I hate it. I hate being watched and I hate her watching me. I want to leave so bad, get gone properly, but i cant. Not right now, and I hope that when I do, despite all of this, god willing, I can leave on good terms, and there will be no bad blood. I hate going back to my family for the holidays becuase its never what it should be. I hope for you however, my dear reader, that the holidays are full of joy and genuine laughter for you. If you have a loved one or friend you are grateful for, who loved you wholly; give them a big hug and tell them. I love my family, regardless, and I wish I could do that, to hug them and tell them how they have helped me and how good they make me feel, because I would be lying, and God hates liars. So I will just simply tell them I love them, and I want them to be well, and that I am grateful they let me be in their life. I hope you will have a wonderful holiday season, God bless you all <3

I don't know how to start this but I just want to get it off my chest. I'm so tired of being me. I'm not sure where I am going at this point. I'm starting to think I don't have an identity. I'm stuck in the past, I'm the same as I was several years ago. I'm not changing. Frankly, I don't feel alive. There's no use moping around, I know. I don't feel hopeless, but rather I don't feel anything at all at this point.

22 Name: Marks : 2025-09-22 03:53 ID:V3hBOji7 [Del]

I know it's hard, that everyday feels monotonous and grey. However you still being here means a lot more than you think. You mentioned that you went into the medical field, that wasn't a whim, that kind of choice takes commitment. You came back to this thread that means you felt the need to come and drop your thoughts into the ether for others to see, and on a niche site like this as well. Back when you started this thread you felt like you weren't moving forward is that still how you feel? I think you're being to hard on yourself, you have that ambition to change yourself for the better, but you have been one day at a time. It's a slow feeling for a reason, change in oneself never occurs overnight.

23 Name: Webu : 2025-11-14 02:37 ID:QeRKPYTu [Del]

Hello, Marks. I will make a new thread to update on how it has been. I like this website. It feels like a place for us that doesn't know where to go. And I thought it was inspiring that people come together to have a goal together, may it be something grand or just lonely people trying to comfort lonely people, a place where we're "colorless", to quote the anime. We don't have a label, but we exist. I sound like a weeb but it feels somewhat good to be back in my roots.

Granted, old members like me and others just open it once every few months or half a year when we remember it. It's still nice to see new threads being created. I don't know how to quote a person or tag someone here, so I'll just address you by your username.

well I hope you are doing great my guy, life is not an easy thing.. and I know what you feel exactly most likely. it is fear. fear of changing, fear of failing, fear of paying rent maybe, fear of connection with people, fear of losing them, fear of not meeting the expectations your parents maybe put on ya, etc, and it all snowballs into huge ball of "I don't know what I'm doing in life, and I fear what future brings, but coz of all the stress and fear I just turn off any ''future'' talks inside my head, and just try to stay afloat and allow the life to drag me with it's current".. it's not easy. especially if your parents might not approve of things you want to do. Like I always loved art, and my mother expected me to become a designer. And I always wanted to become a game dev, game artist. When I was doing only what others wanted, I felt empty too. coz I felt fear of disappointing my parents, and I was scared to be MYSELF, and I feared failure.
If it happens to you too- try to find yourself. don't be scared. make mistakes. it's fine trust me. I failed in game dev, its not as bad as it could be.. xd
I lived in apartments without floor, just cold concrete, in the basements literally on the edge of the small city in middle east.. Saw people doing drugs, etc. And it's not all bad as it sounds. ofc I lied to my parents that everything is good to keep their mental health.. but all of it made me who I am. Maybe I don't make a lot of money, and I didn't get into my dream job.. but I now have normal apartment, work at a bar.. and I'm happy..
So I hope you will get through this.
