No matter what people say, everyone goes through a struggle of one sort or another in their daily lives.

Some of these are relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, however, and are the sort of things one simply vents about with their friends or family.

Others are a bit more serious, and much more personal.

So personal, in fact, that people feel as if they have no one they can talk to, as there is simply no one who could even hope to understand what they're going through.


Redditor achub0 gave people the opportunity to openly share their current struggles which they haven't told anyone about, leading them to ask:

"I have zero mathematical abilities, numbers just don’t make sense to me."

"I can’t remember the order of the months or tell time."

"I have never been able to play board games or understand the process of doing a sport."

"Just situations that everyone seems to be able to do break down when I try to do them."

"If I ever messed up and said something completely wrong or incorrect I was always able to raise my eyebrow and convince the other person I was just joking."

"Now that my wife has moved on to her new family she still helps me daily."

"I guess I should say ex wife."

" Since I was very young I have been able to nod and parrot what a person in charge is telling me to make them believe that I understood the assignment."

"I found a job in a factory right out of high school that put me in a floor supervisor position and it allowed me to take what my boss said to me and I just relayed that to my crew."

"I did that job for 16 years and when we went to online work during Covid I was found out."

"As soon as it came to light that I had no Idea how to do the things that I was asking other people to do I just quit my job."

"The last couple of years I’ve lost everything and am grasping at straws to try to live some kind of life."

"It’s been a little over 7 months now and I don’t leave the house anymore."

"My Grandma has passed and my lovely ex-wife has helped me set up a small apartment that I can exist in."

"It's a silent battle to just keep going every day now that the person I was pretending to be my whole life has died in his own bed of ignorance."- jiffypopper44

Sometimes when we find ourselves lost in a funk of sadness or depression, it's easy to think that no one will understand, and no one can help.

But even if they won't necessarily understand, there is always someone willing to listen, who will also do their best to help.
