Why do people feel the need to know if someone else is going through the same thing in order to cope with what's happening to them? That's not a really good way to handle your mental health. Every single person on this planet is different

Why so you can be rude when you don't like my answer?

No, I just want to hear your perspective. Like you said everyone’s experience is different. I don’t think it’s pathetic to not feel alone so I’m curious to hear why you feel that way. I might not be as resilient as you are but it definitely helps me when I’m going through a hard time to know that other people have found a way out so I can too. A little encouragement you feel?

Most people are born alone let's start with that

I mean I guess that’s true. Most people are also held by their mothers within minutes of being born

I guess I mean to say that we as a social species rely on each other from a very young age. Being born alone doesn’t mean you have to go through life alone

No we rely on someone taking care of us. Not necessarily taking care of your mental health

No two people are alike. More than likely you'll experience a lot alone

Ur totally right. But whatever parts of my life I can experience with support I certainly will take it. You CAN get through shit alone but it doesn’t make you weak to lean on others. I don’t really have much else to say about that so I hope you experience it yourself one day and go “ah I get it now.” Take care

You're weak looking for it. Compared to it just shows up
