almost everyone here is feeling the same way you are. so definitely hold no shame. ps. the bus. has such a lame stigma.. dont feel any less. your busting it twice as hard. feel proud. i dont even live in a small place. by any means.. well by other world means.. yeah... and i still feel alone. i feel people here.. no matter how close you may get.. still hide the truth.. and cant get on that level.. as if theyre afraid.. my friend here and i have come to some realizations lately.. i would have never expected to hear from her.. thought she was happy mc lucky positive bitch 24/7 the way she presented herself.. took my ass looking silly for her to be like.. yeah dude me too.. i almost felt wronged.. for thinking im a weirdo all the time im with her.. and shes feeling similar things.. shes just better at hiding.. whether thats good or bad i dunno. so i dunno i guess what im saying is.. there may not seem to be people you can relate to.. wipe that initial feeling out the way.. cant have a barrier up if anything good is gonna come through.. and of course.. i say these things.. but im still trying to put em in action.

Thank you eeegads :-) very much and good luck! I appreciate it.

There is a loneliness group on here as well that might be a good support Jasmine...I'll put up a link to it

I would get to know people over time before you give anyone personal information re email or phone numbers... We have many wonderful members here but it's always wise to be cautious on a site

Great big hug of support for you

Thanks Sun, I hope I wasn't being inappropriate...it seems not many ppl visit the loneliness support group. Hugs!

I get lonely too.... my place is only 452sq ft. pretty small so I get on me bike & ride!!! Im very chatty & need interaction so ill just go to a store or stop & carefully chat to people I don't know! ya, but it works. im very leery bout givin out my personal info anywhere these days. besides like tumblr.

get on the general board down below & just start chattin, get involved & u will meet really great people.. hope u have a good thurs night too

That's lots of great people here! Are there any ones you relate to more then others? People you like or don't like? Sometimes in life, I have found for me - if I want friends I have to be a friend...

I suggest, take a deep breath and pick out a couple people YOU LIKE and ask them to be your friend, I'm sure they will feel honored and your request and hugs will make their day! Also, we practice doing uncomfortable things : )

I am so grateful for DS, I live alone - am alone, and yet I have friends on here that care about my day! Ups and downs, and the closet friends I have - I KNOW when they are laughing at me, and with me (I do try hard to make people smile : )

It is great to see you again! You pop in, hang out - answer other peoples post, write more post on the Main discussion board - up here in sub-categories not many members look up, or even have this part of the page showing.

Come on down! Play and bond : )

ty very much ladies :) X!

No not inappropriate sweetie.. I just want ya to be safe... I didn't realize the loneliness board was slow.. I just thought it might be an added option...x
