This is an ongoing thing for me. It’s exhausting and disheartening. I’m jaded and skeptical about people now.

Lost many people or they ghosted me. I’ve discovered many “connections” I had were strictly transactional. I’m terrified of growing older alone. I have no family or friends left and will have to depend on the paltry social services in this country. And they want to cut those benefits!! How are we supposed to survive, physically and mentally?!

It’s like there’s a denial about aging here. Sick culture. I ask people to check on me and they won’t even though they say sure.

Some people are true loners but I am not. And I don’t want to be.
