No Friends No Family and Left Behind In Life

At 56 years old I finally realized I’m alone in this world, have spent my entire life surrounded by abusive narcs. Finally decided to cut ties with toxic people. It’s definitely quiet but the peace it brings is unspeakable

I’m turning 50 this year. I also have no friends, and I’ve distanced myself from my family. I have cptsd from childhood which makes me feel uncomfortable/fear around people. People say join a club/group to meet people but that’s hard since I feel awkward and anxious. So here I am lying in bed awake at 2.21 am watching this video. Knowing I’m not the only one like this is comforting. Best of luck to everyone in this situation ❤️

I can relate. I'm 33 and about to turn 34. I'm still living with my parents, unmarried, no kids, and haven't had any friends for years. I didn't go to college and have been stuck in the same dead end job for the last 15 years, which is also about to come to an end now that the company is closing. I feel like my life is static and I haven't achieved any personal growth or development and life is just passing me by.

You are VERY BRAVE for talking about this stuff publicly. I wish you all the best man. You’re not alone. We’re all CONNECTED🙏

I'm 61 and I've been exactly like you for 40 years, every day is the same for me too, there is a lot of us on the planet, you're not alone brother 😊

This was exactly what i needed. No job, no money, no hopes, no dreams, a box to live in, no friends no family, no one checking in no reason to live. I stay going in hopes that one day things will change. Maybe its worth nothing or maybe ill get past it someday. Godspeed brother.

37 yo is very young, you have the potential to build a positive life

It’s scary how accurate the yt algo is like how do they know that every single thing this man says mirrors my very existence. It’s not like I’m even looking that stuff up. I hope you’re doing better now brother and I’m sure by now from all the comments you know you’re not alone in your struggle. You deserve happiness.

I'm an electrical engineer too (BSEE & MSEE), I live in Silicon Valley, I bought a home here. I actually came from a very poor background. My family was extremely dysfunctional. I have no family today. No family, no friends, and no love. I'm invisible. Christmas pretty much sucks balls to be this alone. I've lost interest in most things - and have spent the last of my saved money. If I were to disappear only the bill collectors and employer would notice.

Trust me, the people you see aren’t as happy as you think

I’m 67 and feel just like you and all you’re describing. Self destructive behavior has pushed those who love me away. I’ve never felt so low.

I’m 67, alone, depressed and anxious, no friends, little family. I, too, used to have many friends. I just adopted 2 kittens for company but I’m glad to know I’m not alone in my misery.

I'd rather be alone than in a bad relationship.

These people that you referring to who "moved" with their lives, they got stuck in their own tiny universe, and they are not necessarily happier then you are. I wish you good luck my friend.

This guy is telling it how it is. Hope he is feeling better now.

I'm 45, I lost my entire family, friends moved on and I lost a career of 15 years. I felt lost and defeated... I don't know why I have kept going, but I know that I need to. You're not alone, I read many of the replies here and there are strangers (STRANGERS) who are worried and care about you... so please, let us all know you're ok. Life can be rough, but what makes it beautiful is the love, spirit we all have to live it. So, please, are you okay?

I'm 71 but I still can find a reason to live.If you can identify a PURPOSE in your life, you can keep living and feel that it is worth it.

Anyone who doesn't understand what depression is, this is it

I can relate, thank you for sharing. I haven't even travelled a lot. Losing my job as we speak. Always worked parttime because of my anxiety and depression, never had a lot of money. 51 and single. No kids. Hang in there everyone!

Life is meant to break us down until we finally are sick and tired of being sick and tired. These experiences are meant to push us out of our comfort zone and follow our inner compass which we all seem to ignore. These experiences are not happening TO you. They are happening FOR you. One day you will understand what I mean. The people who have been through it understand what I mean. Every single successful person on this earth has been through some kind of hardship like this. Don't give up brother. We are descendants of warriors. We are strong enough.
