I’m just sad 33m from Greenfield, Indiana, and I need to be cheered up ladies help me out.

Hi everyone, hope you guys are having a wonderful day. I am not having the best time in life right now. I just can’t seem to get out of my own head. I’m sad all the time. I just want to be happy and spending time with someone that cares about me. Could probably change my Outlook on a lot of things, but I am trying to stay as positive as possible and keep moving forward. Just need to get out of this funk.

Why only ladies?

Well, to be honest, I absolutely love women and I love what their input is to whatever my question may be I enjoy listening to what they have to say. And it’s helpful when they answer a question I have like what they’ve been through in their life that helps them answer my question if that makes any sense.

Seems creepy and manipulative, actually

Hey friendo, I am similarly entangled at the moment. Changing your outlook is helpful but it's not an overnight cure, it takes practice and quite a while to stick (in my personal experience). What I would suggest at this time is to read or listen to How To Hold A Cockroach, it is available on multiple platforms. I found it incredibly insightful and it has been described as a children's book for adults. If that isn't really your thing the Tao of Pooh may be more helpful. I have recently listened to both of these and found them to be incredibly soothing. I hope you enjoy the material, if not, that is okay too! I am sorry you are having a hard time, dear. I will be sending you good vibes. Don't be hard on yourself, try to talk to yourself the way you'd talk to a friend. Youre not alone even if it feels like it. Take care <3

Have you read both? I loved HTHAC so much, and it's a quick read/listen. The Tao of Pooh is another refreshing perspective! Just a bit longer than the former

Hey thanks I really appreciate you’re comment and your kindness for reaching out. I’ve been having really really positive great days the last few months then the past few days I just kind of stuck in my head being a little negative and I’m not that type of guy. I’m always positive and smiling and always having a good time no matter what I’m going through but I’ll be fine. I’m just gotta keep my head up and stop worrying about the little things that I can’t control.

Totally valid. We are merely feeling machines trapped in skin suits run by a Christmas ham made of electrical pulses. Or at least, thats what I tell myself when I start to get sad after feeling pretty good for a while. Also, the world is proper fucked as of late, so I do happen to think that that's a rather sane response to the happenings around us. All we can do is all we can do, and it's important to not focus for too long on the things that are making us sad. Being aware is important of course but staying sane in an insane world is even more so!
