Acceptance

idk, it sounds like you're going through a lot and have accepted some tough things 😕 but isn't there something kind of... off about just letting go of wanting love or friendship? kinda feels like everyone needs some connection, even if it's not in a relationship. you mentioned family being an important part. do they know how you're feeling about all this, or is that something you’ve kept to yourself?

man i sorta relate. after enough tries at love or whatever, starting to think *shrug* maybe it's just not my thing ya know? pretty chill with flying solo now but who knows...

i hear ya but idk if accepting loneliness forever is really the way to go; i get that family can be complicated and friendships too. maybe things haven't clicked yet, but eventually you'll find people who appreciate the effort you put in. hanging onto those desires might just mean there's potential for something more, even if it's not obvious right now 🤔

sometimes it feels like people don't match our energy or effort, but that craving for connection never fully goes away and it's tough trying to be at peace with being alone.

Man, I feel you. Those feelings are tough to shake off, right? I've had my fair share of relationships that make me question if it's even worth the trouble. But hey, props for forgiving your family! That's huge, considering what you've been through. Maybe one day the desire for love and friendship will fade or maybe it'll just transform into something new... Who knows??? You sound resilient and accepting of where you're at now, which is pretty strong in itself. 💪 Keep hanging in there!

man, 8 relationships seems like a lot to handle but maybe the right one is still out there; and hey, forgiving your family for all that intense stuff shows some real strength, it's just rough when the desire for connection sticks around even when you try to be fine alone ;)

man, it sounds like you've been through a wild ride with those relationships and all the family stuff. that's definitely some heavy baggage; i get the feeling of just wanting to let go of needing others, but do you ever think about what makes connections valuable in the first place? it's weird how you can forgive family for things so intense yet feel more disconnected from new people. could there be room to find balance between independence and keeping that door open for potential companionship?

So you’re basically saying you've forgiven your family for trying to kill you as a baby… like, how do you just "accept" that and move on?

Sometimes I feel exactly like that too. After my third breakup, I thought I'd never let myself fall again. It's incredible how people come into your life and leave without warning.

craving connections but not getting the same energy back can be mentally exhausting and feel like you're stuck in a loop. honestly, sometimes it feels like an endless cycle of hope and disappointment when you put yourself out there and things don't reciprocate naturally or spontaneously as you'd expect. it's logical to assume that the root cause must be on your end, but perhaps it's more a reflection of today's changing social dynamics where relationships aren't prioritized the way they once were. pursuing personal growth sounds wise though, because building inner strength might change how you view external validation in both romantic and platonic relationships. who knows what you could achieve next by nurturing self-assurance? seems like you're pretty introspective already so keep that energy up...

dude, it's tough when you feel like you're the only one putting in effort and getting nothing back!

sounds like you've been through a lot, and it's understandable to feel burned out by putting in effort without it being reciprocated. relationships can be tricky, and sometimes it feels like others just don't value them the same way we do; all that emotional labor adds up, right? i think there's strength in learning how to enjoy your own company and focusing on what truly makes you happy. maybe down the line, the universe will surprise you with people who match your energy. till then, keep doing you and staying true to what works for you 🙌

Dude, it's like, you've hit the nail on the head...

dude, it's good to see you've come to terms with things and are focusing on yourself. seriously takes guts to forgive your family for all that crazy stuff and still having this whole "it's okay" vibe going on. just thinking out loud here: maybe it's about redefining what love means to you? like, maybe instead of typical friendships or romantic relationships, you find fulfillment in hobbies or creative passions. my cousin went through something similar and found a niche group online who shared his interests; he swore it was the most genuine 'connection' he's ever had. might be worth considering finding connections where least expected rather than waiting for the desire to evaporate. keep doin’ you, man!

dude, i absolutely get where you're coming from! i've put so much effort in friendships only for people to vanish when they want to. these days i just kinda expect it. i figure being alone might be less painful than the let-downs.
