My POV: 
 I feel the reason for emptiness is not lack of just social circle it’s the lack of quality bonds there are times I’ve felt the same and it was very closely related to not having someone to share how I really feel like with. 
  
 The moment you find someone to share this with the emptiness is lost. 
  
 Now it’s difficult to share how you really feel like with someone else but it’s a journey everyone needs to go through… 
 I started by sharing smaller details that were a little bit easier to share. 
  
  
 Also pick some hobby you’ve been wanting to do since a while but never made time for. 
 I picked kickboxing

Yes.  
 I think I finally understand what it means to be real with someone.  
  
 Yes, I will take this opportunity to actually go through this journey by myself

Embraced it and made peace with it. I am completely okay spending time alone ..yes would consider a worthy company...but not bad or vulnerable or someone who can't enjoy in the absence of company. 
  
  
 A loner but not lonely.

I know what you mean. But somehow I don’t want this future for myself.  
 I know this is not a bad option as such. But I really wanna figure out what I can do to not feel this.

I am sorry that you did experience it. It sucks. 
But I have no clue on how to work on it. 

I have this emptiness inside me. 

Has beet there for a few years now. 
However I blamed it on my lack of social circle. 

Recently though, things changed. 
I am having a pretty decent social circle. 

However at the end of the day, I still have the yearning to belong. 

So wanna know if you’re dealing/dealt with it? 
Any tips ? 

I’m here if you just wanna talk it out too.

Did you also experience emptiness? What did you do?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Have you felt that the conversations with your work buddies and away from office buddies are not that fulfilling? Like you might be passionate about so many stuffs but you just don’t have that passion in anyone around you and you end up being yourself, overtime becoming very lonely while still consuming content at high pace. 

Do you feel lonely? If yes how are you dealing it?

How do you deal with loneliness?

Growth Manager

I am 21 years old. I have good offers (20lac+) from good companies, but I am not happy.

I always feel that something is missing in life, I don't know what and why I feel so.

I tried to get in a relationship, but whenever I express this feeling, things get bad between both of us. I really want to love and get loved.

I have been living my life alone for about 3 years now. I want to make friends, and I want to be in a relationship, but the last 3 years have not been nice to me because of which I don't like going out and having fun.

I was in a depression and a workaholic nerd for the past years and feel that now I have got wired in such a way which is not letting me have fun and enjoy life.

I find myself lonely.

Whenever I don't have anything to work on, I get anxious, and I get this question, what am I doing with life.

Maybe I am feeling lonely while writing this post and may sound little gone case.

Open to your suggestions, do share your stories if you have been through this phase.

Is it normal to feel like this?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Have you ever felt you have got cheated in your life? You are not in a place where you exactly should be? Wrong connection/relationship?? How to come out from this??

Hey guys...have you ever felt??

Human Resources

Here’s what I have been feeling nowadays, 
I suffer alone every night, smile during the day & tell friends only half and parents nothing so they don't worry about them.

I finally end up becoming a big ball of bottled up emotions.

I was trying to talk to my colleagues about this and no one seems to care. All they care about is their own life and that is fair. 

Is life all about suffering and pain?

[Thread] Am I really a failure?

Product Manager

So I have made a similar post on grapevine before but doing it again because I have nothing else to do. 
Currently working in one of the big 4 passed out from a circuital branch in newer IIT. Have been dealing with anxiety since my jee preparation days . On meds since then . Fucked up my college life . Didn’t make any good friends . Didn’t study for placement as I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. Now working here feels like hell. Work starts at 11 and keep on going till 9 sometimes more than that . Thinking of doing a switch but fucked up interviews . Thought I should restart my life gave gre but didn’t get good marks . 
Feel like a failure . I cry a lot . Today thought I will do something productive but just kept crying . Called my father but he said why do I keep coming back to him with a sad face . Told him to fuck off and cut the call. 
Haven’t been to gym in a month cause my work doesn’t give time and I am too tired to wake up early . I am just reduced to my room sometimes I feel I should just jump from the balcony and end everything but I know I am coward cannot do that. 

Has anyone ever went through the same ? Will it get any better ? And yes I am taking therapy so no need to recommend that . Rant over 😞

Hate my life a rant !!

Data engineer

Mostly a rant but I guess also a cry for help that I have been subduing for a long time now.
I have never felt alone at times in my life as well as lost, but they have always been at 2 different times. Never together. Always it has been a purpose or the company I am in (not work, social circle) that kept driving me forward. At times both.
But now, its neither.
Ever since I was a kid, I had dreamt up a picture of my bachelor life.
A great social circle of close friends. A place to live in most comfortable way possible. Finances so stable that I don't have to think twice before getting something I wanted and felt needed. Working or doing something that kept me excited for it.
And here I am today, sitting and wondering, I have achieved just the 2nd part of it. Everything else is still a dream.
I lost the close knit friend circle and I think its a huge list of misunderstandings and small mistakes that caused it and I can't see a way back. Financially, I have no savings and I have spent money like there is no tomorrow for past 5 years. I have a job that doesn't drive me at all, while just 2 years back I was excited to face the new challenge I am gonna get the next day.
I have no idea what to do and where to go. 
I feel in my gut that this is going to be a similar phase in my life that I have faced before. This may go on for the next 1 to 2 years and then I would emerge out of it and value what I have more than ever.
But still this phase eats at the inside of me at times and I just feel empty.

Thanks for reading till the end.

Feeling lost and alone

Product analyst

Hi
In final year right now of my BE
My entire college life 
I am feeling left out
No friends, 
If I need something I ask my classmates
It feels odd
It feels week
Why as a MAN I am feeling such emotions

Even accepting the fact myself that path further ahead will be like this only
But still in mind, somewhere
I believe if I had someone to talk to
Someone to share everything I have
It would have been better
Yet again weak thoughts

How as MALE adults you overcome
Or you don't give a f*ck about it
More like "hey, I don't even have time to feel shit"

Pls throw some light on these thoughts
I am open to every discussion

Is feeling lonely, as a MAN, OK?

A final year student

I made a lot of mistakes in my life
Never ever worked hard to my fullest potential
Didn't studied well even though I had potential during JEE
Keep getting attracted to girls(very few times), even though I am training myself not to.

Becoming emotionally down often
Feeling guilty of not being able to have someone to talk to.

What I simply want is to work to my fullest potential without getting attracted to the other gender so that there are no distractions and becoming mentally strong to the point that I don't need anyone else continuously present in my life for me.

There has to be a way
Almost everyone around me are so strong
My gut believes I don't have that much time left
I just want to fix everything for my parents and my brother
And leaving with a pride and honor of a MAN.

How to Forgive OneSelf?

I am 23M working in a well renowned Fintech startup. Have got what I have dreamed of in college like high ownership, good pay and other similar things. But lately realized that I can't do these things for my majority of life. Although I enjoy my work but still feeling lonely and aimless.

Previous to September it was remote but now they have made it hybrid and I have to reallocate to Gurgaon and now I am feeling more lonely and aimless in life.

Have tried travelling and other stuffs inorder to find interest in life but nothing excites me.

Did you also experience emptiness? What did you do?
