For one reason or another, through fate or circumstance, I (35M) find myself alone most of the time. I’ve had long term relationships before, I have a lot of people I can call friends, but most at this stage in life are married with kids or our schedules never align. I live in a major US city where it’s easy to be a nobody and, due to some depression this winter I tend to not reach out often to hang if it hard to reach them or I pick up that they aren’t really interested in making the effort. I understand, I don’t blame anyone, all relationships ebb and flow. I just woke up today thinking, I intellectually understand that life is rare and beautiful and short and there’s not a moment that goes by where I couldn’t be full of gratitude. This is also the only moment in my life I have ever experienced living alone and not feeling like a parent or roommate or partner was watching my every move or judging me for every thing I do at home. And yet I wake up alone, no one expecting me, no on reaching out, no plans this weekend, no agenda today. And I don’t know how anyone can handle being so isolated. The peace is nice. It’s so quiet. And still it makes me feel unwanted and not useful as a man. submitted by /u/Everyday-Patient-103
