Is there a forum for people who are lonely and sad but specifically not incel sickos?

like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate and share advice and coping mechanisms and so on.

loneliness is increasing worldwide, esp in men. and it’s very easy to get into the weeds on this of course…

happy fuckin holidays

wintermute_oregon,

Move to Oregon. This is the most social place I have ever lived. I get into a conversation everywhere I go if I want it or not. They love to chat here.

dingus,

I feel you, man. I had never been able to make connections in my entire life and so I always sought it out online.

A decade or so ago I was hitting up forums to interact with others. Now, I use Discord. A word of warning…Discord is primarily filled with young teens, which can feel a bit awkward and creepy if you’re an adult. And I just don’t relate to problems that teens do anymore like school and the like.

I specifically search for communities like 18+, 21+, 25+, etc. servers so I can relate to everyone more and feel more comfortable. There are some websites out there that provide listings of public Discord servers. So I generally google around until I find ones that look interesting and try them out. You might have to join quite a few until there is one that suits you, but I’d recommend it.

intensely_human,

Gee maybe try developing some empathy for the “incel sickos” as a first step on the path to reconnecting with humanity?

If you don’t want to change your view on “incel sickos”, then I recommend just joining a men’s group.

vivavideri,

I’m glad you’re not an incel sicko. I hope you find what you’re looking for<3

AnOceanAppears,

I think bumblebee has a “find a friend” app to make those platonic connections.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Do you mean platonically, romantically, or both?
