Today, same as every other night, I sat in my car outside my home, just to avoid going inside. I live alone. FML

Hey OP here, in my car... I work 11-12 hours 6 days a week so though I wish for a dog, I can't. I stay in the car because when I go in I have to plan for the next day. In the car it's quiet and peaceful. Living with others was worse but I am a lonely person. I do sometimes drink a beer once I'm parked. I agree it's sad and I'm not a very social person and I hate it about myself.

I dont understand why someone would do that?

To the people that are all commenting about not understanding why; it's that a home can feel big and empty. Also that homes are generally seen as having multiple people in them. Whereas it is 'perfectly normal' for a person to be by themselves in a car The OP doesn't want to go home and face the realization that they're all alone, possibly with no family, friends and/or loved ones

Maybe it would help to talk to a therapist. I couldn't imagine that, I love my home.

This is one really sad FML. I can relate though. Sometimes I stay at work longer just because I don't want to go home where I'm alone. I hope it gets better for you, OP.

Maybe stop at your local watering hole and have 1 or 2 drinks, that way, you'll be around other people, and who knows, maybe you'll make a friend or 2.

Is there a house issue you are not telling us? Follow up please

like any person that lives alone, loneliness is a bitch, the house could be a mansion but if you live alone it still sucks.

I can understand why you would do that. Living by yourself gets very, very lonely sometimes. Maybe there's a close friend you can contact to be your roommate, hopefully?

This is sad :( Interestingly this week I have been finding any excuse I can to avoid going home because I can't stand living with my family anymore and would kill to live on my own. People always want what we can't have :/
