I as well am alone.Lost your life 13 years ago? Your husband ? Mine died 7 years ago now and my grown children have their own lives. Am trying to connect with people..not sure i would seriously say they are good friends but who knows maybe in time. When i feel all alone i think of things to be grateful for and i know im not totally all alone as their are many like us who feel this way too

Reading this makes me really sad honestly... It's easier said than done... but maybe try to get a couple of hobbies to pass the time? Whether it's going to the park/mall/library/coffee shops or other places. Learn or play some Cards/Chess online or in person with others. There are also AA/NA and other addiction-type meetings... I know that might be a weird suggestion, but even if you aren't an addict... these programs are HUGE.... and people want to build support groups. I'd also suggest a pet that's easy to take care of.

I'm 35 and alone right now... but my cat is laying in between my legs as I type this. She brings me a lot of mental support and love. I've been alone for the last 10 years due to my mental health and recovery from addiction. Depression can be so tough... Some days go by just fine, and some days feel absolutely horrible.

I personally try to play chess or cards online whenever I am really bored. You get to meet some people there too, and if u want u can friend them and play once in awhile.

Good suggestions Zilwan.

Overall I'm just not understanding why there are more people in the world than ever but so much loneliness. I think it's because people don't want to commit to much these days...very sad indeed

Wish everyone luck and good things. It can be difficult. My wife was quite popular but is now suffering severe depression/mental illness and the calls are less.

I do think you have to reach out to people, discuss things they're interested in, try to be upbeat, and get involved. It's not that easy I know.

Bobby. I don teach out and calls, texts go unanswered. But i do need to be more engaging with personal hobbies and community activities. You have a lot on your plate as a caregiver and working and family. I wish you continued support and love
