Have you considered getting therapy? I'm not (just) being a dick, therapy really can help a lot and you seem to have a lot of inner conflict around vulnerability.

Speaking of which, have you seen Brene Brown's great talk on vulnerability?

Have a look at Amy Cuddy while you're at it:

And of course, because so many people struggle with this, Kathryn Schultz:

Being lonely is really hard, on a lot of levels. It can make people really neurotic. I think that a host of psychological ills arise from inadequate social support.

I'll check them out afterwork.

Thanks

Cacioppo is not the most compelling speaker, but his work inspires me tremendously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0hxl03JoA0

Great,  so all my problems are because I'm lonely.  And I've been regressing to a shit poster because my only friend is in jail.
Great.

[Freeky]

Go check out therapy, like Nigel suggested.  Even look at group stuff, make more friends and the like.

Boohoo.  I work three nights out of every six and then when I'm not working, I'm studying.  Social life, friends...what are those?

Amazingly, I manage to not shitpost everywhere.

Yeah, but you also have a purpose to your life and a drive to achieve your goals. As far as I can tell, this kid has no goals and hasn't found any purpose or drive in his life yet.

I'm not really sure whether he's trolling or not. But then I figure, if he is trolling, what is he laughing about? "HAHAHA, I tricked Nigel into being supportive and compassionate!"

Yeah, how embarrassing.

[Cain]

This is true.

Meunster, do a post-grad degree.  Your life will become a remorseless hell of reading and studying to the point you won't care about being lonely.
