Facebook can be really triggering @LadyShadow. Most people only post highlights and the best parts of themselves so it’s skewed and doesn’t show the whole picture and can make it seem like others have better lives than we do. Social media in general does that. Instagram, etc. it always triggers comparison. I stopped using Facebook a few months ago. It was really hard but I felt the cons outweighed any benefits of it. Anyone I wanted to stay in touch with I have their phone number. Not to mention all the political stuff showing up in my newsfeed stressed me out constantly. I understand feeling lonely. I feel that way a lot too. I don’t really have many in person friends. The closest I can call friends are some of my neighbors here in supportive housing. And I don’t really have family other than my sister and niece and we rarely see eachother. No more relationship either as I cut out my ex out of my life permanently and have no plans to ever date again. Most of my friends are online friends. People I’ve been online friends with for over 10 years. That I video chat with and talk to everyday. But I do have my cats so that’s nice. And my volunteer job. Loneliness sucks. Are there any like classes or things you can go to like a art class or a paint and sip class or something like that? Sometimes you might meet someone there you can eventually be friends with.

In the meantime keep doing stuff for yourself. Going to movies, your church meetings etc I go to the movies completely by myself cause I have no one to go with. It sucks but it’s better than sitting at home alone all day.
