@profahmedhankir: Loneliness Can Make You Feel Rejected — Even When Nobody Has Rejected You The lonelier you feel, the more sensitive you may become to rejection. And the more rejected you feel, the lonelier you may become. New research reveals how loneliness, perceived rejection and social withdrawal can reinforce one another, creating a vicious cycle that makes human connection increasingly difficult. Original research: Loneliness modulates social threat detection in daily life.

I'm very lonely. I don't go out. I isolate myself. every time I say to myself, this Friday or Saturday you go out for this this and that. But I ALWAYS end up, just staying at home. can't be bothered. it's not good. And it's true what you say, the more lonely I feel, the more sensitive I get to signs of rejection. Even if it's not true? How can I break this cycle? I become 50 on the 22nd of October, and I noticed something is changing in me, as I'm getting older. But I really don't want to isolate that much. I used to love to go out. But I have lost all motivation.

I've gone past apathy. Gone past loneliness. Just numb now.
Nothing left of who I once was.
Burned out. Empty.
A ghost who still has flesh

Exactly. I don’t reach out because I think nobody wants me around. So I stay alone. I would like to hear more about this .

I feel this, rejection, abandonment. But also disgust & distain when I’m around people and a huge block at initiating social contact. Being able to see everyone’s projections, unmet traumas, hypocrisy ect doesn’t help. X

Often when interacting with others and trying to make new friends it feels even lonelier, because you feel like nobody really gets you. It's the missing connection that makes it so heavy in my heart.
It feels like I am somehow wrong... like a faulty piece that just has no use here...

@EQAfterDark :
The cruel part: loneliness rewires perception first. You start reading rejection into neutral faces. It's a signal problem, not a people problem.

I’m 24 , haven’t made a real friend since high school, I spent my birthdays alone, weekends, never had dressed up for Halloween because u need friends for that, I believe it’s the source of my depression, I wouldn’t need to take antidepressants if I could make at least a couple of real friends, it would finally feel wanted like I belong in this world
