advice

Doesn't make you a sad fucker, but bear in mind that folk posting on MN have more time to consider their advice or support, to think it through a little, rather than responding off the cuff, as it were.

You'll also find people on here at the same stage of life as you, while your friends may still be at different stages - if you have a small child, for example, and they are childfree/less, it can be difficult for them to realise how much your priorities have changed.

No, you are not a sad fucker.

Sometimes it is easier to speak to anonymous people than RL friends. You are more likely to get the truth on MN.

your not a sad fucker, just having a bad day!

in answer to the op, yes!

same as the rest of us
