I'm 38 years old and I feel like just due to my background and where I was raised I was more likely to be alone compared to everybody else.
Ive always had friends but recently I have none.
My high school years...never had a high school GF and was teased and picked for being the awkward black kid that didn't play sports in a private catholic so I have a bunch of pent up hostility from then...even 20 years later.
My only serious "relationship" with a woman lasted a whopping 6 months and that was 14 years ago. For the most part, I'm never booed up and I'm always single. Cause most of the time I've struggled with money and trying to find work because of my Nigerian/West Indian background and name...people have been absolutely hesitant to give me a real chance. And it feels the same way with dating/relationships with my jobs...they don't last long. Women are hesitant to be seen out in public with me and I never met a girls parents...i seriously don't ever see myself getting married...cause America...this shyt? Is not for Black Men like me.
I was actually homeless in 2015 (becausw I couldn't find work and couldn't make money to get a place) living in NYC and that made seriously judge people cause I just experience so much hate...so much hostility...I went to jail and the hospital the same year. I still suffer from PTSF from it...just the stress and anxiety and depression from being homeless messed me mentally. What made it worse was I had graduated from college with 2 degrees and being homeless made me feel like those degrees were absolutely worthless.
I really found out who my friends were durong that time...that's for sure.
I feel like I'm not a bad guy but because of the way this country is, black men like me are seen as invisible. impeded by everything and racism just getting in the way from me getting the shyt done I want to do. Never have enough money to do the things I want to do...always mad...always alone...never content...never truly happy.
Recently I've actually been getting really pissed off seeing happy couples. I've never had anything close to a real relationship before just flings with women that don't go anywhere. Then I lost a whole bunch of family members in the last year and I haven't cried I've actually just internalized it but I've been really fukking angry at a lot of people for trying to fukk with me... Especially people online. Even though they wouldn't even fukk with me in real life.
So I just entertained myself. I'll buy the stuff I want for myself I buy all sorts of clothes and sneakers, all sorts of stuff from my apartment, I bought all sorts of music equipment because I got all this money I saved up from not spending it on a girlfriend or a wife or kids.
My family never taught me any sort of game when it came to women and my friends weren't helpful at all, most of them didn't care about me at all...so I threw em in the bushes. A bunch of racist republican trash that showed who they really were from my years at a PWI. Once i left there and moved to NYC and hung out with more Black folks I really realized they were trash.
Whatever.
I am so used to be lonely and alone it's like second nature to me now.
I'm saving up my money to move out of America...i really fukking hate it here.
