How do you live when you have no family or close friends? (from Reddit)

I don't have anyone I could call family, nor a best friend I could talk to about anything. I'm not completely without friends, but there isn't someone so close that I can think, "it's okay because this person is here." In moments like that, I sometimes feel like I'm floating alone in this world. When you feel you have no one you can rely on, what keeps you going?

Living with My Future Self as My Ally

Honestly, it feels like I’m being supported not by someone else, but by my future self. If I cook proper meals and eat them every day, read books to learn something new, run a little and break a sweat, and keep piling up small things right in front of me, I feel like I’m increasing the future me’s allies in old age, and that settles me: for now, it’s okay to be alive today.
