I am completely friendless. I don't even gave Internet friends. I dont have a family to spend it with either. I had a dog that was my everything. But she got old and died as we all do.

Dude/Dudette, I don't know what time zone you live in, but my DMs are open, feel free to chime in.

Sorry about your dog, that part sucks worse than the others.

This is on [email protected] so I'm not sure how to interpret it... but guaranteed I'm gonna be on Lemmy this Christmas Day, you're welcome to join me, I'm sure there'll be others.

Well wishing you happy Christmas anyway, Friendless, and if what you want for Christmas is a friend I hope you find one this year!

I'm deeply sorry to hear that. I have been in your shoes for five years straight. This is the first time I spend it in family since forever.
What I would usually do, is to prepare a very nice movie, or a great videogame I kept aside for a special occasion, drink wine, eat chocolates, the whole heartwarming exercise.
Other years, I would play a MMO and have a play/chat with strangers bored to death at their family gatherings.
I guess Christmas Eve is about giving. So my advice is don't give up on you, you deserve to have a good time, no matter what makes you feel warm.

Plenty of gamers online during the holidays. They were great company to me for 3 years straight. I personally enjoyed that more than family dinners and lunches just waiting for the next argument. Find your thing and own it.

I’ll be doing what I do every day. Enjoy myself and pamper the kittyat day, play with online friends and pamper the kitty at night.

Having a companion animal helps. Sorry for the loss of your dog. Is it too soon to bring in another companion?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

I left abusive family and live in my car in the middle of the desert. I’m happy as can be, I’m FREE! There’s usually a good side to the bad stuff, hope you have a wonderful holidays and find ways to cheer yourself up. Life can be amazing and sometimes the negatives are in our heads.

Get a new dog, it'll be starting over, but just get a new dog not the same as the last one because that'll make you feel sad, better to have one than to not. (My parent would know.)

Discord social Christmas day? Get a few Lemmys together.

I'm up for it if anyone else wants to join.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Sorry you're going through that bud. To us that have few or no friends, the holidays can be a very depressing time of the year. But, in time, if you put in the effort, you can make friends or at the very least, make the most of what you have.

Hopefully this doesn't sound too conceited, but I truly hope you find happiness my friend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Same here. But it's also the first year I didn't get left behind out of convenience.

Tomorrow will be just another day for me, like all holidays are anymore. But at least I didn't have to spend money and stress about making ungrateful people happy.

This year, a lot of baby pets are going to be Christmas presents. A lot of them will be returned.

Make a difference. Get yourself some senior cats and dogs and give them the happy Christmas they deserve. Only If you can afford it.

[–] catsarebadpeople 1 points 2 days ago

Bummer about your dog. Hope you have a great Christmas!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I'm somewhat in the same boat. However I dö havet an internet friends I will chat with a bit later during the day.

I hope it becomes a good day for you anyways. It'll get better ❤️
