I, just wanna stop feeling anything. Never had friends but I could live with that, but I just want someone to embrace, someone that feels something for me, even if doesn’t last. Better than 0 for the rest of my life. This situation is slowly killing me.

The only thing that gives me some relief is gaming… (I read the post of like a week ago here that several dudes met their partner thanks to a videogame and I felt even sadder, why that wasn’t me? I’ve been gaming for 30 years now).

    It’s hard to engage with your problem specifically because I don’t know your specifics. I understand you might not want to share details like where you live.

    It feels like just making excuses when someone’s like “find a board game group” and the other person’s like “I don’t like board games”, and dead ends it there. Like, the deep meaning there is to find a group based around a shared activity. It doesn’t have to be that specifically. Board games, bird watching, bike riding, choir, book club, just general mixers for people in the area, kink groups, whatever. There’s a whole world of stuff. It doesn’t feel like you’re making any effort beyond shooting down suggestions.

    But, as I said, if the problem is “I don’t have a car or means of getting to where people meet”, then you should fix that first.

      I like certain videogames, that’s it. Majority of adults and especially women aren’t into them.

        I kind of think you’re trolling. There’s really nothing else in the world you like? Not even food?

        If that is true, or at least you believe it to be true, you should probably consider a wider entertainment diet because that doesn’t sound healthy.

        There’s a whole world out there. Go try more of it.

            There are food groups.

            There are social groups for other “basic nature” stuff.

            Go find something you like.

            You asked how to cure loneliness. There’s your answer. Go find stuff to do with other people in person. Stop sad-posting on here.

              I wish you understand, we’re going in circles. I don’t like anything and most of the things you say aren’t a thing here.

                I don’t like anything

                It is impossible that you don’t like anything. You’re either lying/trolling, mistaken, or clinically depressed.

                most of the things you say aren’t a thing here.

                Most of the things. So some are?

                I literally went to a neighborhood park hangout this weekend. It was just people in the neighborhood wanted to hang out. That kind of stuff can exist anywhere. You don’t need to like anything in particular to go.

                But again, it sounds like you don’t actually want to do anything to change your situation.

                  I already said it, I like videogames but you and majority of people think it’s useless stuff.

                    Having a single interest isn’t very interesting or healthy. But fine, some people are probably like that. But for you, specifically, it’s not working. It’s not getting you any traction. You refuse to change anything, yet want change to come to you.

                    Furthermore! You can meet people via video games. There was a meetup I used to go to, pre-pandemic, that was around a single player game. Think “slay the spire”. We’d meet once a month at a bar, decide on the theme for the evening, and play and socialize side by side. Shit like that exists. Anyone can create it. But you have to put work in.

                    Lastly! You don’t even need interests to go to a lot of social events. Like a neighborhood picnic. I’ve even seen “speed dating” and “singles mixers” (and poly groups) on Meetup. There’s a get together I go to that’s just a once a month hangout in the neighborhood. No agenda, no fixed activity. People just bring snacks, talk, sometimes play Frisbee. Great way to meet people. But you have to leave the house

                    I keep telling you this and you keep ignoring it.

                    If you refuse to do anything but sit in your house and play your video games, it’s not surprising at all you’re lonely.
