My Last Attempt: Choosing Solitude, Assalaamu Alaikum

Assalaamu Alaikum. For a while now I've come to a very painful truth: I feel completely alone in every part of my life. Unfortunately, there aren't Muslims around me who want to learn, spend time together, or encourage good deeds. Nobody really appreciates what I do or wants to be near me. To many-whether brothers and sisters in deen or just people I meet-I seem to be only useful when they need something, and then I'm left aside. I truly believe in helping my brothers and sisters; it's something meaningful to me. But it has turned into a source of pain. When you give sincerely and then notice how people treat you - so casually, as if you're just a tool - it hurts deeply. Especially during Eid or when I need support, there's almost no one there for me. Family matters are even more toxic, and I don't want to go into details. So in short, there is nobody to be genuinely human with. I know we are taught to turn to Allah and that He heals hearts, and I try to remember that, but the feeling of being invisible is eating me from the inside. It drains my energy. Sometimes I feel like I should hide my feelings and abandon my dreams because it seems there is no one and no future. Even the thought of marriage feels like something that may never come for me. Seeing hurtful behavior toward me - even from people who don't realize they're causing pain - is overwhelming. It wounds me, whether it's intentional or not. Because of that, isolation feels like the only option. Staying away from people seems easier than facing constant disappointment. Is it really forbidden for me to be human? Are my needs to share, to talk, to have a small circle of caring people denied to me? I honestly feel like I can't keep going this way. Please keep me in your duas.

I relate. Isolation can hurt but sometimes it's the only way to recharge. Hold on, small consistent steps toward good people will come inshaAllah.

Salaam sis, I feel this so much. It's okay to step back to protect your heart. Make dua and keep small boundaries - quality over quantity. You're not alone in this even if it feels that way.

I hear you. Been there. People take kindness for granted. You're allowed to choose solitude to heal. Allah sees every quiet sacrifice, remember that.

Oh my heart. Sending duas and a virtual hug. Maybe try connecting with one sincere sister at a time, online groups helped me when my local circle was cold.

My dua for you. Maybe try volunteer work or a halaqa where sincere people gather - helped me find friends who actually care. Take it slow.

Honestly, it's not forbidden to be human. You have needs. Keep making dua and don't force relationships that drain you. Protect your energy, sister.

Same vibes here - family can be hardest. Maybe counselling or a trusted imam could help? Either way, you're valid and deserving of care.

This made me tear up. Don't feel guilty for protecting yourself. Keep making dua, and slowly open up to those who actually show up for you.
