I am Seriouslysad and I’m 23 and looking to chat with people who are 21 and older.
Thank you.
Also I am rather lonely and struggle with spending time with others whether that be with people in real life or online.
I always seem to engage in self-destructive words and stuff whenever anyone is being nice to me.

Perhaps.
But perhaps you just haven't found the right people for you, yet?

just don’t know how to talk to these people. I first get warned and now this.
I suck
also I don’t think I’ll ever find the right people

Hello again @Former-Member
It sounds like things are particularly tricky when it comes to engaging, it takes time to find the right people for everyone. Our communities are always changing as we grow and develop, the beauty of the forums is that you can keep reaching out to work on connecting.
Be gentle with yourself

I wonder what everyone thinks of me now

I apologise for my behaviour, I’m just worried what people think about me and it feels like they don’t like me.
I’m just terrified about being shut down or not listened to here

Hey @Former-Member ,
We're here to listen.
If you feel you might say something that's not really something that should be on the forums, feel free to take some time away and come back later when you are in a better headspace.
We can all be like this sometimes.

it happens all the time.
doesn’t matter how much time passes

What does support on the forums look like for you?
That is, by connecting on the forums, what do you hope to gain? @Former-Member
I hear it can be so lonely at times. Some people come for connection, others come to share their experiences with others, and there are some who use the forums as a platform to learn skills they can then use in real life.
Thoughts?
