I’m just feeling really lonely again. I texted my friend Kyle a few times today, just showing him pictures of the cats and the quail. Not a single response even though he was visibly online. It stings, but I don’t really feel “worse.” I think I’m at a kind of rock bottom of loneliness. Like yeah, it hurts, but what did I expect?
Yesterday I hung out with a guy from grindr, someone I’ve hung out with a few times before, actually. We just drove around and talked. The one thing I keep thinking about is the way he hugged me. A tight squeeze with both his arms pressed against my back. It just felt so safe and warm. It made me feel cared for in a way I haven’t felt in forever.
But tonight I’m just back in my room. Crying and wondering what’s wrong with me like usual. I just want someone to make the littlest bit of effort to talk to me. It especially hurts needing that because it’s one thing I can’t do myself. It depends entirely on them, how much they like me, if I cross their mind ever. And I guess I’m just not special enough to anyone to deserve that.
