Anyone else alone this Halloween? This is my first Halloween not home with my siblings and not with friends or roommates. I’m not ok and I’m really struggling with being alone right now especially tonight.

I’ve genuinely been alone and I know my suite mates don’t like me, I’ve been through a few suicide attempts, I’m trying to get help and have gotten some, and I have to be the bad guy to tell my suite mates our bathroom isn’t clean. It doesn’t help if you know someone that you want to be friends with, but they kind of just hangout with you in class and never outside of class, or they’re reluctant too. College is not for me I think…

I’m alone this Halloween too. My second one after having spent the last 16 years with my husband. We used to spend every Halloween at home in the bed or on the couch shoving our faces full of candy and watching scary movies or making treats of some kind. It was our lil tradition and I loved it more than anything. He died June 21, 2025. I miss him so fucking much. I’ve never been so alone and I’m so fucking sad. Sending you love.

My roommates are out as well and im staying in. Sucks seeing the social media posts and stuff but you definitely arent alone and those definitely exaggerate how many ppl are actually out or even having fun

Maybe we can make a get together with some others that feel the same? We don’t have to do all the party stuff or something major. I’d be down to simply walk to town in costume, get coffee/a drink and than maybe look at books.

I’m not doing anything tonight and a bunch of people I know who usually party aren’t doing anything. It’s okay to do nothing and people care about you

It’s worse when it’s family and they tag you in their posts just to make you feel bad

I’ve been feeling the exact same way as you all and I’m really trying to change that. So if anyone is down just feel free to make plans on this message thread for either tomorrow or any other time everyone who wants to is free.

i'm so so sorry for your loss, that sounds incredibly difficult. i hope maybe you could find some comfort in the legend that the veil between the worlds is thinnest on halloween night, and his presence is close, but it definitely doesn't make you less lonely. i hope you can find a way to honor his memory and feel some kind of joy in that. sending love 🫂

It’s always hard to be that guy, but most of the time it’s because you’re doing the right things, don’t give up. From someone who understands

Being alone isn’t always bad, it saves you from the fake people and when you eventually find someone who stays, it’s a real one. Trust
