One of my friends said today (when I was talking about how I could vanish) "I value you!" I looked at her and said "When was the last time you asked me if I wanted to grab a cup of coffee that afternoon? Or asked me if I was interested in having a movie night?" She told me that I was being silly and that I was asking too much...but the look in her eyes told me everything I needed to know.
Part of a longer essay I just wrote on my loneliness - There is a peculiar kind of loneliness that takes root not in the absence of people but in the hollowness that remains when one is surrounded by echoes of a lost self. It’s the kind of loneliness that lurks in rooms crowded with ghosts, not strangers, and is haunting in a way no ordinary solitude could be. These ghosts are layered with fragments of the past-flickers of who I used to be, moments of unguarded laughter, of bright-eyed wanderlust, and a self that moved through the world unafraid. I used to walk confidently into rooms, meet a gaze across the room, almost brazen in my thirst for life. But now, when I’m alone, I’m not just alone with myself; I’m alone with the versions of me that I’ve lost along the way, each one a distinct reminder of the innocence, the courage, and the parts of me that trauma burned to ash.
I noticed some of the questions that you hearted didn’t get included in this video😢 I’d been looking forward to hearing your responses to those:/ But loved this video still and seriously forever grateful for these videos❤

Hello and good morning or evening to everyone in the comments missed the AKA podcast earlier today so watching it now sending care /love and support to everyone ❤😊
Wowww It's amazing how each question is so relatable and all the questions from your last podcast were literallyyy all ive dealt with and discussed in therapy. It's just amazing to me.
The person who asked the last question has a lot of traits that fit the criteria for BPD. They might benefit from going to a neuropsychologist or a personality disorder specialist to get a thorough diagnostic evaluation.
But what if you don’t want that because you know that when you did have people they you say were your friends you mother and a teacher ran them off so to speak, and told you not to talk about something that you felt so interested in and that was in your last year of extended special education high school. (Up til 22nd birthday) so that you now feel like you should just be to yourself because of what people did to you by shutting you down but telling you to keep quiet.

Looking forward to a study on general loneliness and the reliance/hopelessness of dating apps to meet people outside of work/religion.

Because you let society dictate who you are.
