I moved to a new city for a job and the loneliness is louder than I expected

0 support0 reactions3 replies
Everyone said this move would be the best decision of my life. The job is fine, the apartment is fine, the city is beautiful. But I haven't had a real conversation with anyone in days that wasn't transactional. I eat dinner with a podcast playing just to hear a human voice. Nobody warns you that adult loneliness is so quiet it almost feels normal.

Sometimes the bravest thing is simply admitting how heavy it has been. You just did that. That counts for so much more than it feels like.

This community is lucky to have someone willing to be this honest. You make it safer for the rest of us to be real too.

The version of you on the other side of this is going to be so grateful you kept going on the days it felt pointless. Please keep going.
