the heaviness of being alone

Do you guys ever find the weight of the space around you when there isn't someone else there

can be really depressing? It's incredible to me how aware of this I am. I had a good day - i am in my room right now - and the 'weight' of the empty room is really palpable.

I need to find a mate!

Thanks for reading.

I live with my sister and 3 barky little dogs.

The depression of feeling alone can really get to me sometimes....

I wish I could give you guys part of my "head" sometimes...seriously. All these invisible people can get Yakky. :/


Sorry you're feeling lonely, mark, but we're still hanging online... :) ?

I am sorry you are feeling alone mark. I get that way sometimes despite having many people around me, so can't really imagine being on my own more. I don't think I would like it.

Hope things turn for the better soon. Good luck!

Sorry I see you're talking about the aloneness... I hear you Marky... Even having a pet can fill that space in a very special way....xo

thanks all, and yeah (about the pet) that's something I hope to get once
I move out of this house where I live. I think that will be good for me in part.

I live with 4 other people (family) and sometimes I feel so alone. I did get a new kitten and that is helping some. We are bonding. I just don't have any friends outside my home or work and wish I did.

It can be toughest alone sometimes. Because of my BP I can't live alone. Some people can but not me. Pet love is so helpful, too.

It sounds like your lonely. I prefer to be alone. So once in awhile I need my social tank filled. The best way for me to avoid loneliness is to get busy with hobbies.

Oh Yes!!!

I daydream aand then I get my daydreams mixed up with whats real.
The tv is not a friend, sometimes I call people but get tired of hearaing them want to talk about themselves. Then I get mad and feel worse about being alone..

I'll be thinking of you.

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...

    Here is my new brother, copper :) He's so tiny! Moo and Tuck were ok with him on first meeting. Rocket due to his severe aggression will never meet Cooper.
