What’s something you want to say but don’t have anyone to say it to?

I'm finally doing really well in life and i feel like saying that out loud, but it feels like boasting.

I am so worn out with existing. I feel broken and drained. I keep smiling and acting like everything is peachy but I wish I could just not exist for a week and catch my breath. Mental health is a real issue and I hate that I’m turning out like my parents.

I wish someone would notice the effort, not just the results.

You should be proud of me

I’m on day four or five of no cigarettes but most people didn’t really know I was smoking them and I don’t want to gloat to my few friends who do smoke them. It was easier than I thought it would be and easier than past times I tried.

That I miss my Dad unbelievably, he’s been gone for 1 year and one day now. The pain is unbearable

I was wrong, I messed up, I did the wrong choices and I regret them.

I feel so alone. I feel so depressed and exhausted. I don't know how long I can keep on wearing this mask I wore for years. I just wish I could just tell someone, hug someone and just cry on their shoulder.

I love you so much

It's not a SONG if no one is SINGING.

I’m doing my best even if it doesn’t always look like it from the outside

My life might be slowly improving, I just feel shitty bc i could have done it sooner

I hate you for not being a father to me, my whole childhood i was jealous of other ppl and their relationships with their fathers, but all you did was cheat on my mum and neglect me

everything i've done, i did by myself. i had so much support but in the end, i did this shit.

I’m struggling, but I don’t want to bother anyone

I don't really like most of the people in my social circle.

I have been catering to people my whole life, can I be done now, I am so mentally tired.

I’m so damn tired of working so hard and not having much to show for it

I feel stuck here. I want to run away.

I am f****** horny all the time and just want to get fucked.

Thank God I found you.

You did good, real good, and no one can take that away from you.

Will you marry me?

Blee and a blaw and a bloo. Oochie in a orbie in a fruitie. You know what I'm saying. 😀

I hate my childhood

i dont want to exist anymore

I’ve been fighting my feelings for you all last year, so I’ve accepted them and let them sit. Like a guess, those feelings will eventually move on. We shared beautiful moments, I’m staying with those. I’m leaving behind your lack of presence. I lost myself throughout these months though I’m slowly finding myself back, taking baby steps.

I know this sounds really weird, but I wish I could shut off my emotions, my fears, etc. i think I could get more accomplished if I wasn't afraid or worried about what others might do.

I really just wanted to be able to tell someone how my day went and what I did

I have an amazing fiance thats the reason I live in LA but I absolutely hate this city. LA is just highway traffic jams , red light after red light, endless strip malls, people in the way constantly, Thats it. LA fuckin sucks.

I think trans women are beautiful women

I miss who i used to be

When someone says “long story short…”, interject “that ship has sailed” and at the end find a funny way to say “ that’s five minutes I’ll never get back”. I would never say that; but there’ve been so many times it would have been really funny.

I failed you

I’m sorry.

i quit my stable job last year to work on a side project full time and most days i genuinely believe it was the right call but theres this 3am voice that goes "what if you just threw away everything for nothing" and i cant really say that to anyone because theyd either worry or judge

When I start to open up and trust people with my heart I am reminded of why I shouldn’t have done so to begin with

I don't want to be alive anymore. I don't care about anything. I just do what chores I'm supposed to while I wait for life to end...

I want to die

I'm tired 😩 seriously, don't know what to do 

I keep sharing my thought on my whatsapp status hoping someone would join in and talk to me but it seems like they just skip. I dont feel like reaching out because most of them ghosted me, reply hours laters, giving half assessed reply, ... things like that. I feel lonely. I wish I could hang out with someone. Sharing thoughts.

I feel like I’m being suffocated under family pressure and toxic culture, I think I’m undervalued at work and I think I should have lived my life differently.

I feel like I'm not allowed to struggle or have a hard time because I know I'm a very privileged person but I also believe I've been fighting anxious/depressive tendencies for years now. I'm so so deeply insecure and in addition to feelings of laziness and indifference, I now also am dealing with overeating habits which just loop cycle into my insecurities and general negative feelings. All of this makes me so angry and frustrated with myself because I know I have a good life and so much has been given to me (therefore, what right or reason do I have for being so apathetic yet self-sabotaging). And I know my life could be SO good if I stopped with all this shit I put on myself and stopped being my own biggest obstacle/inhibitor but I feel like I just keep digging myself deeper.

My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant and she just got her period again. Also, her sister announced today that she is pregnant. And my co-worker announced that his sister is pregnant. Everyone can apparently get pregnant except us. We've got checked out and the problem is my stuff not working so I'm the problem, not her. I'm struggling and just want to spend my lunch crying in my car. I have no one else to say any of this to as I have to be supportive for my wife. She's upset and telling me that she needs to not be upset and needs to be joyful for everyone instead so I'm trying to convince her that it's ok to be upset too.

I'm surprised that I'm still alive after what I tried to do to myself last year. It still hasn't settled into my brain yet. I was in a lifeless place. To the outside world, to my family and closest friends, I am doing excellent. I've taken up projects, I do great in school, I'm a good employee. I appear calm and successful, like I have it all together. The truth is I'm barely in my 20s, and I'm fragile. I've been weathered and broken in irreparable ways and I'm only hanging on with amusement and apathy.

I wish someone would check on me without me having to hint that I’m not okay. I’m always the “I got it” person and it gets tiring.

My mom is dead. I'd just like to tell her I love her.

Be my good girl and take it all in, feel me throbbing inside you.

Life is meanless and you have to create your own sense. Only you can make your life completable. So, you needn’t worry about others attitude or something. Just be yourself and try to create your own joy

I love you

I can be able to pay my bills without any external help..

I’m sad

I want coffee

I feel crippled by weed and social media addictions. Keep going 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Having severe anxiety for my future recently. Can’t keep going on like this

I am really at my happiest, and I don't want to tell anyone...

That I hate to spend time with most people I spend my time with 

I hate my father

I'm a leftist but my family are all MAGA which is rough, because I grew up thinking they were all based with good perspectives, but I learned that certainly is not the case in adulthood. I use to love hearing their input and I really, really wanna talk about politics with them the way we use too, but I want to talk about leftist ideas now and that would/has go sideways super quick. Kinda sucks now though because I have not a lot of people IRL who wants to hear it from me and I'm like- autistically political. It's definitely a big part of why I never stop politically chirping on Listnook. I just NEED to vent some of these big ideas I'm constantly learning about and juggling in my head. Sometimes I feel like my brain is bursting with thoughts, ideas, and connections that I learned deeply about and now just can't share.

I’m carrying my own boat now eversince I’m still a student and I’m proud of it to the point I’m crying looking back at it

Sometimes you just need a place to share what’s on your mind. There’s no one else to tell, so putting it out here feels right. It’s a small way to get it off my chest and maybe connect with someone who understands.

I love you so much. I’m so sorry. Please come back.

That my daughter and I no longer talk. We had a misunderstanding before my b-day last year. She was angry, I was hurt. She restricted me on messenger and I also refrained from reaching out tho I allways pray for her. I can't tell anyone because I don't want her to be judged as disrespectful.

Even well beyond youth, it’s still hard to make peace with the stepparent I “got.” I wish my mother would have been braver back then. Listen, sometimes I want to be making nice food in the kitchen too, but be careful how you get there. You can make yourself small in increments, only to find that health, age and (of course) your spouse now prevent you from expanding.

You're awesome!!

i actually don’t know what i’m doing in life i just pretend i do

After decades of my parents' demonization I finally see who I really was all in those years. I know now I didn't deserve to be seen as an evil sociopath. I was just an abused broken kid and adult later. My PTSD is not a sign of a deviant personality. I wish I was able to realise it sooner.

I’m broke

Feeling low 😞

That I am actually planning..

I miss you

Im lonely

That I do want kids. I want to feel motherhood. I want to raise kids of my own. But I'm just so scared of losing myself in the process. I'm scared of falling into depression again & I don't want to resent my kids for that

move on

i wish someone would tell me it's ok to not have everything figured out yet. everyone around me seems so certain about their future and i'm just here trying not to panic about next semester.

I'm going insane. My life isn't getting better, I was just distracted. I so wanna end it all. I'm close to ending it all.

I just want peace.

Im really struggling with my chemical dependency

To the person that I have a romantic interest in," youre funny, smart, I respect you very much. But I dont want to try to get involved with you because I have a child and the problems that you are having may impact my child. I cant allow that, and I feel guilty about it because those things are not your fault."

I feel so alone. I have a husband who cares and helps take such good care of our child. But ultimately, I've moved to his country and we have a baby. I don't fit well here and it's a struggle that didn't really stick out to me until our baby was born

I have a wonderful wife, a great marriage, two intelligent and kind teenagers, and I make good money. But, I’m 50 years old and I’ve worked continuously my entire life since 6th grade to include 22 years in the army and multiple combat deployments. My body is wrecked and I’m just f****** tired. I would like a month alone in an all-inclusive resort on a beach somewhere. Oh yeah, also my country is being ground into the dirt by a fascist pedo dictator.

nice one on day 5, that's a solid streak. Feels good when it's easier than before, keep riding it.

Stay strong

I’m an introvert and I like being alone, but I’m also lonely and want to be alone not quite as much as I am now.

My sincerity and love

I can’t compare, but all I see is inequity and inequality in my own life and the universe.

I’m about to start a new job after a period of unemployment and I’m so scared my husband (currently unemployed) is just going to lay in bed all day. I’m scared I’m going to work 8 hours, come home to him still in bed and the house still a mess. I’m terrified I’m about to have (2) full time jobs. During my unemployment, I treated the house like my job and my husband never had to do anything but work. I don’t think he will take the same approach.

I'm treading water every single day. My cat needs a tooth pulled and I have nothing. It bothers me every day

I can’t see a future, I’ve run out of hope. Not only for the world but for myself. I don’t want to work in this capitalist hellscape, I don’t want to pay these ridiculous prices to live on a planet I didn’t ask to be on, I don’t want to go through any more heartbreak or pain or anxiety or loss, and I don’t want to exist but I don’t necessarily want to die because it wouldn’t be fair.

I’m proud of myself. My resilience is beyond measures. I f****** adore myself and give myself kisses through the mirror. For others, I am the exception.

I FEEL SO GOSHDARN LONELY. I have a son. I have a best friend. But neither of them are mine. My son is currently an IP (Independently Placed). Adoption process is ongoing but it might take years to get finalized. Even so, my burdens are not his to bear. I’m here to parent him, not to use him as a therapy dog. My best friend is literally the only friend I have, and the others are just… people I happen to know exist and with whom I interact sometimes. But not even he understands how my mind works, how I think, and how much more intense I feel even the smallest emotions. He’s great. He supports me in ways he can, and I give back to him as much as I can. We have a healthy relationship. But even with them, I feel so lonely. My best friend can sympathize with me, but he can’t understand. And that’s what makes me feel so lonely. I feel loved, I am grateful and I have joy, but at the core, I still feel lonely. Edit: OP is a bot, but I’m glad to have had this space to write this out while I sit here alone in a gas station watching cars drive by and life happening around me, without me.

Our government is too far gone. If you have a candidate that actually wants to do right by the people. He's ran out by the extremists. If you have a government official who tried to do the right thing and goes against the norm, they get pushed out. This can't be fixed by voting

Thank you for loving me unconditionally

That I'm broke and need some money!

I love you (I wanna be able to say that again in the far future if I ever meet a significant other)

I’m really hurting from a depressive episode right now. I have been overloading myself with (fun) things on the weekends and neglected to give myself proper rest. I’ve been paying for it since Sunday and I am struggling to stay focused at work while simultaneously trying not to have a panic attack because I have to *checks notes*…adult after work. I hate that this is the price I pay for having the audacity to enjoy life sometimes.

Sometimes I wish I could tell certain people how much they mattered to me at a specific point in my life, even if we’re not close anymore.

I’m starting my first PC building journey for streaming! I’m so in love with the tetra S design. It’s so sleek. I’ve saved up about $2K to make it right. :)

I really like gardening and fixing stuff in the house. I am my dad and am f****** proud of it!

La humanidad está sobrevalorada y es un asco, te das cuenta a medida que sus actos y palabras te decepcionan, comienzas a perder la fe en ella.

I need money and nobody seems to wanna help me out. Nobody listens to me when I ask for help

I'm proud of how much I've grown but I feel weird celebrating myself when so many people are struggling. Like I finally learned to set boundaries and stick up for myself but saying that out loud feels selfish somehow. It's strange how success can feel isolating in its own way.

I am breaking and don’t feel like I can get help without abandoning others because I’ve become their support system. I have people who rely on me because I’ve worked so hard my whole life to be a safe, non-judgmental space, but I never stopped to consider that I need that space too.  If I fall there’s nobody there to catch me because they all think I’m fine and I can’t tell them otherwise without exposing that they’re part of the issue. They’re not burdens, I’m just exhausted.  It’s been like this since I was 9, but I think this is the breaking point.  Also I really like sharks. Like I REEAALLY  LIKE THEM. Special interest type thing. My bedroom is shark themed, I sponsor a hammerhead, I own tons of shark books, I have an entire army of shark plushies. I’ve made several papers and presentations about sharks.  My favourite is the Pelgic Thresher. They use their pectoral fins as whips to kill and stun prey. They’re very gentle and shy, so not that scary.  Do you know where the highest concentration of bull sharks in the world? The Brisbane River. I live in Brisbane. Pretty cool, though stay away from bull sharks, they’re territorial and like hunting. 

No se que hacer. Necesito un empleo, mientras pasa el tiempo siento que estoy desperdiciando la vida y que este es el mejor tiempo para hacer algo porque luego la demanda laboral estará más complicada. No se que hacer.

It doesn’t show, and I never admit it, but I feel so lonely.

I'm tryjng the best i can. After so long, I realize I may not succeed but that's okay. I've loved every minute of the trying.

I wish I could find a stable job with stable income.

My grandpa is dying and suffering a lot rn. It’s killing me and i don’t even know if I’m more afraid of him not waking up or waking up and continue to suffer.

I come across quite extroverted but I actually always look forward to spending time alone

....Nothing? I'm very blessed. I have multiple people in my life who I can say absolutely ANYTHING to, with no fear of backlash or judgements of any kind. So - can't relate to this experience? 😅🤷

I think I peaked in a random Tuesday in 2019 and didn't notice

I was on a night walk in Riyadh a few weeks ago. I was in a very affluent neighborhood and heard a noise coming from near a dumpster I was passing by. When I approached, I saw that a gerbil cage with a gerbil still inside of it had been apparently discarded next to the dumpster, along with some furniture and other house stuff. The sound was coming from the gerbil running on its wheel. It seemed clear that someone had thrown away their gerbil. I can't know their reasons, but that seemed to be the situation. After considering what I could do, given that it was \~3am, I was scheduled to leave the country a few hours later, I do not live in KSA, and I don't know anyone there...I walked away. I don't know what ultimately happened that gerbil, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

Like when I panic or want to cry . I wanna tell someone

How I feel

I wish I can get someone to listen to me

There are several things! Can I come back anytime here 😭

That I need space. But if I say people will ignore it, I'd rather not say!

Being here is exhausting.

Thank you for the free vacation and best night of threesome sex ever!!

I look forward to dying.

Recientemente ví una publicación de listnook de este mismo r/ diciendo '¿Cuál sería tu último mensaje al mundo?' y pensé en responder 'Sean buenos y siempre confíen en la gente' pero no me sentí con ganas de publicarlo porque no me sentía así. Últimamente con lo que ha estado pasando me siento muy hundido como para ser positivo estos días, ojalá solo sea una etapa y no dure mucho.

I quit vaping (nicotine free now), I'm doing \*ok\*. I have friends with me. I don't want you two to worry. I love you so much and miss you both daily. Damn.

Everything feels so loud even without sound

I went from having no will to live to gradually becoming a higher version of myself. All it took was to quit my toxic job.

I wish my half-siblings had treated my father and I better. I also wish they would come to their senses and stop listening to their mother's lies. During the divorce, my father's ex-wife sent him a letter saying that he would "lose his kids" if he left her. Sadly, she kept her promise. Both of my half-siblings were brainwashed into believing that their father is the ultimate evil and doesn't love them. In reality, the divorce happened because Margaret was abusvie and got caught cheating. She's been lying to them for years. One day, I decided to reach out to Amanda and had a great conversation. However, she suddenly decided to turn on me ([https://www.listnook.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/1n6zlnk/im\_so\_confused\_and\_hurt/](https://www.listnook.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/1n6zlnk/im_so_confused_and_hurt/)). It tore me apart; I thought everything was cool between us. As for Stuart, I never heard back from him at all. My father loves my half-siblings unconditionally and still misses them to this day. If you want to see proof, I have screenshots of email conversations between him and his ex-wife ([https://imgur.com/a/UpFYWfW](https://imgur.com/a/UpFYWfW)). You will also be able to see how my father's ex-wife treated him. I just wanted to have a relationship with my half-siblings, and my father just wanted to have a relationship with his kids again. What makes this hurt even more is that my half-sister has kids too. So, I have half-nieces who I will never get to meet either (or as my father knows them: his grandkids).

I don’t want to have to be eighteen with my whole life figured out

Nothing in particular but I just feel for everyone who's going through something difficult right now and wanna remind you to not abandoned yourself in it. Forgive your mistakes / urges / impulses and give yourself a new chance. You deserve a break you deserve support and you deserve to feel you're good enough.

I want to be okay again

Looking at my son and the overwhelming sense of love he brings me… I don’t understand why my Dad never wanted me or met me.

I just want to be loved for who I am. I want to have someone that I can love as well. To hold and be held.

I'm tired but I can't stop fighting. I have made bad choices that I wish I could undo but can't. I'm sorry. I forgive you. I miss my Mom who passed five months ago from lung cancer. Don't smoke. Don't do drugs. Give the square life a chance. I wish I had.

Fathers, stay in the household. The nuclear family is crucial. It's being destroyed by divorce being used like a car. Try it out, hit some bumps and drop it off and find another.

Stop people pleasing.
