Show transcriptScreenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

I am in a relationship, but also lonely. I would like someone to share relationship-problems with for when they occur every once in a while. But it's hard.

Don't believe all the crap you see on TikTok and talk to actual people about their problems. Please.

Lemmy's relationship advice would be "have you downloaded linux?" Instead of reddits "divorce them."

To be fair. Most relationships are so contextual actual advice from internet people can be hard.

Good luck bb. I got lucky and found a great communicator. Literally first time a relationship hasn't felt like pulling teeth. Actual love instead of transactional. But it all started with communication. With my oddities, with theirs.

Please don't isolate yourself to your partner only
You need friends

If you want you can message me. I am a great listener and I usually am someone who seems to give good advice to my friends.

Have you found anything that worked? I also find myself in those once-in-a-while situations. But when I cant share them, they feel way more frequent and overwhelming and then it's just spiraling from there.

Fortunately a friend has almost miraculously became suddenly way more understanding and talkative. Would hope for the same happening to you.
