Too Many Fake People in My Life

I don’t know where to start, but life feels like a maze of fake connections. In my early 20s, everything seemed exciting. Social media was buzzing, casual meetups were the norm, and relationships were easy to come by. I was young, fair, and attractive—attention came effortlessly.

I never imagined that getting attention could someday feel like a curse. Back then, I lived fully—dating exes, casual hookups, and even spending time with club football players and cricketers. Marriage? That was the last thing on my mind. I thought this carefree lifestyle would never catch up with me.

When Attention Becomes a Burden

Now, in my 30s, I don’t want that attention anymore. The charm of fleeting connections has faded. All I yearn for is one person—someone who stays, loves, and supports me unconditionally. But reality is harsher than I expected.

Those guys I ignored earlier? They’re happily married. The singles? They’re either ghosting me or outright blocking me. It’s a bitter pill to swallow.

Experimenting with New Paths

In desperation, I even tried exploring a lesbian relationship. But deep down, I realized it wasn’t for me. It felt like trying to fit into a world that wasn’t mine.

Then came my situationship with a man over 55. He was married but attentive, providing for me while I played the role of a “wifey.” Cooking, cleaning, and making love—it was everything a wife would do. But respect? That was reserved for his actual wife, not me.

I looked better than her, I gave my all, but he wouldn’t budge. It hurt, and last week, we finally broke it off.

The Weight of Loneliness and Regret

Now, I’m alone. Truly alone. Whenever I see happy couples or mothers with their little kids, my heart aches. Anxiety grips me, and I feel like I’m drowning in regrets.

It’s not that I want something bad for others. It’s something internal—a yearning I can’t resist. I wonder if any other girl feels the same. How do you cope when life feels like this?


A Plea for Connection and Understanding

If you’ve been through similar struggles, I’d love to hear your story. Maybe we can find solace in knowing we’re not alone. Life doesn’t come with a manual, but sharing our journeys might make it a little easier.
