To the lonely people here... How do you survive these holidays?
To the lonely people here... How do you survive these holidays?
Xmas, new year, valentine's... Seems like the festivities are there just to remind me how much I failed as an adult man incapable of getting company. It's been over a decade since I've felt this way and nothing changes.
Alcohol and porn has lost its charm over the years.

It sounds silly, but you could try volunteering. I grew up with just my mom and we didn't have much $. She used to spend part of Thanksgiving and/or Christmas working at a 'soup kitchen'. Making the time better for other people can make it better for you too. Also, you might meet other single people.
Damn it was so much fun help with holiday events. A+++ recommendation bringing back some amazing memories. I was 'alone' for some of those and didn't even feel it.
It really isn't for me. Sometimes at work I feel used or stomped... That doesn't give me the will to help anyone else. If anything makes me resentful, people like me can't help and I don't believe in charities.
Do you like dogs? Walking dogs from the local shelter can be fulfilling.
There's no shelter here, and tbh I don't hate dogs but I don't like them either
