honestly I see myself living a life alone in entirety, I don't necessarily FEEL a need for another person in my life, however, there's a certain.. pointlessness to everything? Life, the universe, everything, it all depends on how you view it, what shapes you give it, what you decide is important.

And if you care about other people, and not a lot about yourself, it easily becomes completely impossible to decide why or what to live for.

words echo throughout nothingness😶

though tbh it also just feels in general like I bother everyone and I don't deserve anyone and all that common typical anxiety stuff. I know it doesn't make sense and people appreciate being poked and given attention and all that, but I never managed to get it to feel that way too.

In the end I don't want to bother anyone with me, but I also just don't know what would make life worth it; there's no activity or thing I can imagine on my own that I would want to live for ig

"if you feel like nobody cares why do you update your social media and talk at all" 1) good point i try not to think about that 2) I pretend people can unfollow or block me at any point if they actually want to not be exposed to me and that if they do follow me they must at least somewhat care 3) I KNOW it doesn't make sense and I'm just trying to be a person and not think about these things but it's still in there somewhere, somehow, refusing to listen to any reasoning. 🤷

maybe it's stupid and useless and people hate me for this but down a thread like this so far idk if i care, so here's the responses I got from Gemini and ChatGPT4, which I think are kind and helpful and supportive in the face of such extentialist questions.
though it also feels empty, not because it's AI saying these things, but because it just doesn't want to land, just like this has always refused to land. its not a matter of lacking understanding i just can't believe it

What you're expressing is incredibly common, and I want you to know that you're not alone in these feelings. Let's unpack this together: Loneliness vs. a Preference for Solitude: It sounds like you aren't inherently opposed to being alone, but the deeper issue is the sense of pointlessness, of not understanding what would make life worth living. This is different from the sting of being lonely. Caring for Others & Finding Your Own Worth: It's beautiful that you care deeply about others. However, it's vital to recognize your own worth. You deserve care and consideration both from yourself and others. This is something many struggle with. Anxiety & Feeling Like a Burden: Your feelings of being a burden are likely distortions caused by anxiety. People truly value genuine connection and care. While it can be uncomfortable, pushing past this anxiety is important. The truth is, people want to be there for those they care about. Finding Meaning: A Journey, Not a Destination Here's the thing about purpose and meaning: It's personal: There's no universal answer everyone has to find. It's crafted from your values, dreams, and contributions. It's not constant: Our sense of purpose can shift and change throughout life. This isn't a failure; it's part of growing and changing. It involves action: Sometimes, meaning isn't revealed before action begins. It's like a path that unfolds with each step you take. out of text but do try read the 'where to begin' in the image

for anyone reading and worrying, don't worry too much though, I get like this sometimes but I'm by no means stuck in life, it just feels weird sometimes when I think too much on days with too little sleep, maybe I shouldn't do that :dragnthaenk:
