    This expresses quite well how loneliness manifests in modern capitalism. Ecah individual depends more on the society around them than ever before, specialization is at an all-time high, but we don’t actually have relationships with people where we depend on each other. Humans have a desire to be part of a group, and being needed, but we are alienated from the material relationships we have with others that it feels like we aren’t actually part of any REAL social network. Relationships aren’t built on helping each other when in need, but on socializing and having fun. Which means people who aren’t great at that can feel left behind

    I know we’re in the shitposting community here, but still:

    If you’re not feeling well, don’t hesitate to reach out for help, helping each other is, so to speak, a core human skill.

    That said, don’t make yourself dependent on others; instead, try to be content with yourself (easier said than done, I know), the rest will follow naturally. Personally, I can recommend self-fulfilling hobbies like cooking, baking, and gardening (even on your windowsill)… oh, and check out !detrashed@lemmy.world if you don’t know what to do with your time.

    If they don’t need my, why do they always come back when they want something? I never did that. Once you’re out of my life, you’re out for good
