- 23F, I drove two hours to visit a friend and she forgot I was coming
Sat in her driveway and texted and she said oh I made other plans. Drove home and cried. I like pottery, cold brew, and going to bookstores with no plan. I deserve a friend who's excited to see me...

- 24F, I work from home, live alone, and just realized I haven't touched another human in three weeks
Not even a handshake. I high-fived myself when I finished a project and that might be rock bottom. I love hiking, making pour-over coffee, and I've been getting into bird identification. Any form...

- 25F, I haven't had a real conversation in weeks
The kind where someone asks how you actually are and waits for the real answer. I work in data entry which is as social as it sounds. I love museum hopping, writing poetry, and making overly...

- 25F, I just realized all my friendships were one-sided
Stopped reaching out as an experiment and it's been three weeks of nothing. I love pottery, farmer's markets, and I'm learning to play the drums in my garage. Looking for people who actually want...

- 20F, the thing about loneliness is it makes you desperate and desperation pushes people away
It's a loop and I'm stuck in it. Trying to break out by being honest instead of performing casual. I like journaling, painting, and listening to records. Not pretending I don't want this. I really...

- 29F, I used to have a huge friend circle and now I eat dinner alone most nights
Life happened and everyone prioritized other things and I don't blame them but I miss noise. I love cooking for people (it's kind of pointless alone), wine tasting, and doing the NYT crossword...

- 24F, the hardest part of moving abroad is having no one to do nothing with
I can explore a city alone but I miss sitting on a couch doing absolutely nothing next to someone who's also doing nothing. I love cooking, learning languages, and watching terrible movies and...

- 23F, I watched a friend group form right in front of me without including me
Same gym same time every week. They all started chatting and bonding and I'm on the treadmill three feet away invisible. I like working out, making smoothies, and I'm obsessed with interior...

- 21F, I just realized I have no one to call when something good happens
Got a promotion today and sat in my car for ten minutes trying to think of someone to tell. Ended up texting my mom which is fine but it hit different. I like journaling, thrifting, and making...

- 20F, I put on real pants today for the first time in four days and it's because I forced myself to leave the house
Target trip alone, talked to nobody, came home with candles I don't need. I like candles apparently, also drawing, and making weird playlists. If your pants are also mostly optional and your...
