Why do I feel a sense of emptiness, with loneliness as my constant companion? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Why do I feel no sense of life's meaning? People are all indifferent, and loneliness is the only companion by my side. My former colleagues deleted me, netizens deleted me, and I deleted them too. Why do I feel that people I used to get along well with also delete me? Why did my former colleagues delete me for no reason? Why do they all dislike me? It's just that I'm introverted, just a little clumsy, and I learn things slowly, does that make me so disliked? I have no boyfriend, no friends, and I'm old enough. I can't feel 'love,' so I lack love.

Dear Question Asker, My name is Yi, and I am a psychological counselor. I understand that you are experiencing a sense of meaninglessness and loneliness. I commend you for seeking support and assistance from others during this challenging time. I am grateful for your trust and would like to extend a gesture of warmth and support through a hug. Best regards, Yi

You stated, "At my age, I don't feel loved, I don't have a partner or friends," and "I'm just introverted, just stupid, slow to learn, and don't understand why I'm so annoying." When I hear these things, I feel a deep sense of despair and loneliness. I believe that if I were in that kind of situation, I probably wouldn't feel the meaning of life either, and I would also feel the indifference of the world and my own loneliness.

Due to the limited information available, I have conducted an analysis of the situation. It appears that the incident of being deleted has triggered a strong emotional response. The circumstances surrounding the deletions, whether by colleagues or netizens, are unclear. When you discovered this reality, you may have felt a range of intense emotions, including anger, frustration, loneliness, and a sense of powerlessness. You expressed some of these emotions through deleting the content, but it was not a sufficient outlet. You then turned your attention inward, leading to a sense of meaninglessness in life and ultimately seeking help through online channels.

These are merely my assumptions, and there may be some discrepancies with the facts. However, since we are not interacting in real time, I am unable to verify this aspect. I will continue with my own line of thinking for the time being. Despite your conclusion that life is meaningless, I believe you still have expectations for life and for people. That is why I and other netizens can see and hear your voice. What are these expectations? Do they also include an inner desire for relationships and a certain degree of self-acceptance? For instance, "Introversion is just a trait, but it is not a disadvantage. Stupid people are often more sincere and attentive, and they just need more time to learn slowly, and what they learn slowly may be more solid. In fact, I am not that annoying." Perhaps at the moment, no one truly understands me, and something unexpected may have occurred, causing others to misunderstand me. I have experienced some setbacks today, but that does not mean it will always be like this. There may be some variables waiting for me, and things may not be as bad as they seem.

I am unsure if you have comparable desires and needs. If you are able to do so, I recommend exploring your inner psychological world to gain insight into your true thoughts and needs.

The above represents my hypothesis, and it is my hope that it will provide you with the support you require. Should you feel that you cannot undertake this process alone, it is recommended that you seek professional assistance, such as the listening and psychological counseling services available on the Yi Xinli platform. These services can help you explore aspects of yourself and your relationships.

Hello, questioner. From your words, I can see that you doubt yourself, are confused, resentful, sad, and hurt by what others have done. I will describe my point of view, and I hope that my answer will be of some inspiration to you.

I want to ask you a question. If your online friends or colleagues have deleted you, do you think they are denying your achievements or your person? Communication between people plays an important role in interpersonal relationships. You have been caught up in this hurtful relationship, so you need to think about whether there are some flaws in your communication with others.

You must communicate with others in an interactive way. If you look at others with a positive attitude, they will respond to you in kind.

The world is shaped by the perceptions of your brain. A mountain seen from afar looks like a ridge, far away or close up, high or low, and each person sees it differently. Everyone has a different opinion about the same thing.

If you believe you are not loved enough or unable to love others, you will always look for signs and opinions to validate your inner thoughts. This is the self-verifying effect in psychology, which causes you to ignore other positive signs.

Think about it. Is there someone close to you offering you a helping hand, but you're ignoring them? Try this: every night before bed, write down five things that make you happy and joyful. Then, write down five things you're grateful for.

If you lack love, you can make yourself lovable. Buy your inner child an object. Show them that you are lovable. You will feel that you are lovable.

Remember: Everyone's personality and character are worthy of affirmation. Adopt a developmental perspective on some things about yourself and accept your original self.

Best wishes!

The world loves you, and I love you too.

Everyone is an independent individual with their own upbringing and unique views and ways of dealing with the world. We are all different, and we all have our own lives and dreams.

Not everyone is good at the same things, and not everyone can agree with you. Life is cruel, and it has made us gradually ignore the beautiful and immerse ourselves in a negative atmosphere.

You're standing at the bottom of an abyss, but you're not alone. There's still light up there. Look up.

We don't need to compare ourselves to others or live in the eyes of others. Let everyone like themselves, good or bad. We often only see our own shortcomings and ignore our own bright spots.

We cannot expect everyone to like us, and we cannot live a perfect life. We must accept other people's dislikes and our own imperfections, and get to know the complete self better.

What is your goal in life? Do you truly believe that the attention and praise of others is what makes you happy? Love is a magical thing. You can't feel it, but it's everywhere.

You are the only one who can fully feel your emotions and save yourself. If you have never loved yourself for who you are, you will not perceive the love of others, even if they are surrounding you.

You must nurture your relationships. Even if they were once good, they will wither if you do not actively nurture them. Deleting does not mean that you don't love them anymore. It simply means that you no longer know how to deal with a relationship that is gradually becoming thinner with time. You choose to completely cut off contact so that you are not left out in the cold in the end.

The past is gone, and the future is in your hands now. We don't know what the future holds, but we can live our lives better, so we don't become weak and continue to drift along with the flow of life. Once you were running around for a living, but now you can live a good life for yourself, for that true self of yours that you have hidden.

Live in the present and make the most of your time.

I understand feeling lost and questioning the meaning of life can be incredibly tough. It seems like you're going through a rough patch where connections feel severed and that's really hard. Sometimes people drift apart due to changes in their own lives, not because of anything you've done. Maybe reaching out to new communities or activities that interest you could help build fresh connections.

Feeling isolated and wondering why former connections seem distant can stir up a lot of pain. But remember, your value isn't determined by others' actions. Introversion and taking time to learn things is perfectly okay; it's part of who you are. Consider seeking out spaces where you can meet others who appreciate you for you. Therapy might also offer support in navigating these feelings and building selflove.

It sounds deeply painful to feel as if you're being pushed away and to struggle with loneliness. But know that being introverted or learning at your own pace doesn't make you unlikable. Sometimes people lose touch for reasons unrelated to you. Focusing on selfcare and finding joy in solitary activities can enrich your life. You might also find comfort and friendship in online groups or local clubs that match your interests.
