    All the members of my family deceased in my lifetime, the closest to me being my parents and my younger brother 😥
    Another poster talked about missing family holiday get togethers. When my dad died in 2007, all that ended. It now takes a 2nd or 3rd generation wedding for that to possibly happen. The last time it did was 2016.

    I miss having that new to MFP optimism and how "meeting" all the new friends was exciting. Forums were more fun back then and it was easier for me to make connections. That was 5 or 6 years ago. So many of those people are gone now. I don't even know most on here anymore.

    I miss waking up and having no worries in the world. Not worrying if I'll be here for my kids birthdays, for Christmas, for when they get married... all the important things in their life. As much as I try to be positive, sometimes my head plays tricks on me and I'm just scared.

    I don’t know you,
    we’re not friends,
    but I think of you all the time.
    I send my most positive vibes and prayers.
    ❤️

    Damn.....there is nothing in my world that i could ever miss more than that. Being scared and still fighting makes you courageous. You got this!

    I honestly miss being a kid on Halloween. Every year, when I see all the decorations on display, I think back to all the fun I had those many years ago with friends. It was my favorite time of the year. It brings back a feeling of nostalgia every time.

    the 1980’s.
    We had no money, one car and worried about paying bills constantly but those were the most wonderful years.
    Raising our son, we were an extrememly close family unit that did everything together.
    It was so much fun.

    That sounds lovely honey!🤗💕

    I miss how my kids used to rush to give me a hug when I walked in from work. My oldest got her learner permit license in the mail today - feeling a bit nostalgic is guess

    ... being seen as attractive.

    Being "invisible" sucks. Being constantly reminded that all most folks care about or see are your physical attributes (or lack thereof) on a daily basis doesn't help.

    I'm reminded often of why I never take photos, never post in the selfie threads and don't really participate in anything in which photos of myself are likely to be taken.

    And something tells me that even if I managed to drop 100 lbs and was rail thin, I would still feel and be treated as if I weren't there.
    Being attractive looks like it's draining

    You ever see an attractive woman enter a room and all heads shift to her. And she's just there to get her teeth cleaned! Even the damn pictures on the wall tilt. And then you think about how every single day she leaves the house, eyeballs are going to be on her. She can't even like scratch her butt in the lobby after her smoke break or anything like that. I mean she could, but there's going to be an audience and it will probably go viral the next day. There's a territory that comes with being attractive that a lot of ugly people (like me) don't envy.

    We are two very different people. Sure, there's the downside to being seen as conventionally attractive, but there's a lot of upside to it, too. People treat you differently. It would be nice to not be treated as invisible or as though I'm garbage simply because I'm fat or because I don't wear make up (can't) to cover up blemishes and look like I stepped out of a spa day in and day out.

    It's more about how I feel and less about actually looking like a model or a rock star. I imagine people who are older (60+) might understand as a lot of people see the "elderly" as invisible, as well. It just sucks.

    one of the perks of not being single,
    someone to gently rub my neck and shoulders coz it hurts and i can’t reach it. :(

    Can attractiveness be a state of mind. I've come across a lot of unconventional beauty. And a lot comes from something deeper...an inner beauty that shines...maybe shift your focus on the perception. And the perception from others will shift as well.

    There's many iconic women who dont fit the beauty mold. I've seen your selfies. You have very striking features.


    Just my 2 cents 🤷‍♀️
