Is there a forum for people who are lonely and sad but specifically not incel sickos?

like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate and share advice and coping mechanisms and so on.

loneliness is increasing worldwide, esp in men. and it's very easy to get into the weeds on this of course...

happy fuckin holidays

depression sounds like it'd make meeting people IRL more difficult

It does but the benefits to ones mental health from talking with randos is fucking bliss

It makes everything more difficult. The only answer is therapy and/or medication.

Meeting people online while depressed is surely a bad idea.
