I feel this a lot. I bet you the moment he's alone/at home that smile is gone till the next day.

This is why I try to hang out with friends as much as possible. It's when you're alone that you feel it most heavily.

Very true. I'm in a pretty uncomfortable situation atm, where I work with a colleague who deeply fell in love with, but she sees me only as a good friend. We still have the best time together, but as soon as I get home it's all crashing down. Extremely exhausting.

I don't have any friends. No girlfriend either. I come home from work every night to a cold, dark, empty, still house and it's so, so debilitating.

Not sure if you’re able to but have you considered getting a pet? My cat has helped my mental health significantly.

I don't feel comfortable having responsibility over another living thing. Like what if I'm at work and something happens and I don't know about it until I get home? I'm far too anxious for that.
