Hey guys, first of all, I appreciate everyone for taking your time for reading this. I’m sure there’s tons of men just like me posting the same question and story but I really really need help right now. I’m in a very dark place of my life at the moment. I feel very lost and lonely. I have lots of good friends that have been with me since my childhood and a family that loves me but I feel it’s not enough. All my friends have girlfriends and yesterday I noticed while we were all together that we’ve (they’ve) been talking for over an hour about their relationship, gifts that they make, plans they have, how much they love each other, what they did last day, their last discussion, …. I know they didn’t notice I was feeling terrible because they would have stopped but it’s absolutely not their fault. I would speak nonstop about a person I love so much, the problem is I have no one to talk about like that. I do everything in my hand, I go to the gym, I go outside and meet new people, I do sports and enjoy my hobbies but it seems nobody loves me. It fucking sucks to acknowledge that because I’m a firm believer in not giving up but man, this is so tiring and exhausting that it’s almost impossible to not give up. I really don’t know what else to do because every time I talk with my friends about this they always give me the same answer that I hate so much: “stop looking for love, it comes when you are not expecting it”. They act as if they had met their girlfriends magically without speaking first or having someone to help them in their relationship. I know they don’t say this advice to make me feel bad but it fucking sucks because I think they are being so dishonest when they speak about love like this. I don’t know man, I just needed to express this, and if anyone can help me I’m glad to hear because I’m so tired of everything. I sometimes find myself wondering about really bad thoughts such as ending it but I battle them every time. The thing is that each time it gets a little harder and I fear someday I won’t be strong enough to win. Thanks everyone, I hope you are enjoying life and everything okey, keep fighting! submitted by /u/Gemito_137
