>we both are dealing with stagnation and isolation.
Chances are it might also be part of why you feel like your life lacks meaning, makes sense. It sounds like you could really use people to lean on first and foremost. Does your friend know? The one that is about to marry I mean.
>Anyways I am kinda scared about how I will react IRL during ny friends wedding and I don't even know how to be prepared for something like that.
Hm. The main issue is that the things that come to mind are slow. One thing, perhaps, is to give you something to focus on during the event that you perceive as something to your own benefit, so to say. For example, you might wanna try to get to know other attendees, make new acquaintances. This would turn something that feels like watching someone eat while you're starving into something a bit more akin to an opportunity.

As far as I know, at least with nic, patches and the like seem to help. There are other things you wanna work on that sound simpler than they are.
The habitual part (keeping hands busy, finding things to do) and the effects that feel like they are smoking related but aren't: going outside and controlled breathing exercises are good for you, for example, and decoupling them from smoking will help.

What are your circumstances, Anon? Or are you one of the peeps I talked to above? What makes you think you are a burden?
