You know how you occasionally see articles about the male loneliness epidemic? Hi, that's me. Haven't spent more than a week around people in person in close to 5 years despite livingright next to a big city, struggling with depression and social anxiety, starved for physical and emotional affection but can't bring myself to do anything about it, yeah. Snuggled and slept with an ace friend overnight on a couch at a big get together and it sent me into a massive depressive spiral! You know this meme?

Yeah that's me. I'm definitely not an incel, I'm self aware and not entitled, the only thing holding me back is me and my stupid fucking brain. There's hope, antidepressants and therapy have been helping a lot. I just feel like the posterchild for the struggling, lonely but not "redpill nutjob" guys out there
