Alone in Quarantine

  1. Hello Everyone:

    I am usually an extremely out going person; I am out of the house more than 12 hours a day most of the time. I live in a really nice area with lots of things to do. However due to the ongoing pandemic I spend 23 hours a day at home with my nasty pig brother. We don't talk anymore because he is just awkward af. I have lots of friends but they always seem like their busy. They usually will show disinterest whenever I reach out (one word responses, symbol response, late responses, no response).

    I have been using a lot of dating apps to try to fill my empty void but it feels like they are just making it worst. It's like I have become desperate and am settling for less, and when I finally do get it I don't want it anymore mainly because I am too shy.

    I really wish things will go back to being normal. I miss going to the gym, kayaking, hiking, museums, libraries, MOVIES, shopping, clubs/bars, restaurants (even though the waiters/bartenders are always rude to me) and work. For some reason though, I feel like even after quarantine I am still going to be upset because of the trauma this situation is putting me through.

  2. Yeah, I get what you are saying. I am also hella miserable these days. Nobody's stirring in my side of the world too.
     
  3. what have you been doing to pass time?
     
  4. I am watching "Fist of the North Star", and playing some games now and then. I am also doing lots of bodyweight squats lately to get some cardio in. (Chinups and pushups almost every other day.) (I have been slacking a lot too, so it's not the best I used to do.)

    So my life is just full of books, workout and 1-2 anime episodes everyday. Pretty monotonous.
     
  5. are you also socializing with other people?
     
  6. This time is hard for all of us. I know it has pushed me harder into Nofap and realizing why I want to quit porn. Stay strong brother!

  7. Nopes! Aside from the occasional wave to a neighbour or two from window or door. (And grocery visit.)

    Same here brother i was a bartending when this all went down and let me personally apologize for all the rude bartenders you encountered were all just insecure dream chasers serving ppl drinks. I try not to be rude but after meeting so many assholes u start to become one. Anyway, rn you have a perfect opportunity to get in touch with yourself and who you really are. Try researching alkaline foods. Eat more of those and exercise everyday outside even if its for an hour. I exercise outside without a mask because personally i think this covid thing is all panic and hysteria. But if you feel that way then wear a mask while u excersise. Gud luck and never stay down when life is kicking you!

    Hey brother. I am with you.
    I don't have alot of friends ( but they are very good ones), and i also feel alone these days.
    But I think its a good time to be alone with yourself.
    I live by myself in a rented apartment so I don't have anyone with me.
    I changed my diet( meat and fruits mostly, almost no industrialized food), i take a walk almost every day and I want to figure out what I want to do in my life. Fortunately i have a permission to go outside with my bike so i am able to visit family.

    Try to relax , have a good time. Smoke some weed( if you are into this) and chill.

    Of course you should stay out of porn , because it can make you "fill" that loneliness that you are experiencing.


    Hope it helps,
    Elior.

    Gentlemen, remember this.

    “In times of adversity and change, we really discover who we are and what we're made of.”
    -Howard Schultz

    We will come out of this stronger, better, braver and more SELF assured than ever before!

    This is the time for us to recalculate our steps and analyze whats been working and whats been not.
    This is the time for us to change our destiny to a more righteous and dignified one.
    Self preservation is whats at stake.
    The time to change is now.
    Let's win!

    Take long walks in order to cool your mind off.
