Loneliness Support Group

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...

I feel so alone everyday. I don't hangout with my friends as much as I used to. I used to rely on my work peeps to brighten my day a little bit. Now I work at a place in a bad neighborhood where there's nobod like that and no direction on the job. I constantly sad and closet office door to cry. I honestly don't know where to go from here, I keep thinking fuckimg upu career slowly. I can't keep doing this, I just wish I had someone to talk to about my issues. I have nobody who I can talk about things wth that I haven't already exhausted.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your helpfulness. I appreciate it and it makes me feel like I'm not alone. This is a great avenue for me to talk about my issues. I think an office job isn't for me. I like interacting with people more. :) and yes it does get very cold and dark!!!

I feel the most lonely at work. I'm never part of the in crowd. I am kind and try to respect others, but I find that I don't do well with busy settings and a lot of women...Women can be so catty and cliquey. Sometimes I just want to scream. I am shocked by the disrespect that other people show and end up crying on the inside all day long.

I second the find a new job. There is nothing worse than being sad at work, going home and reanalyzing everything that happened the entire day. I did that and it nearly killed me (Thankfully, I was laid off. Best thing ever). Do you have benefits at work? Maybe see if they pay to talk to some one. Is there something you enjoy doing? I recently saw a newscast where they said there are now colouring books for adults and how they reduce stress (I'm going to buy one today).

Don't just quit you job at once, there must be sadness at home too or else you could make it through for a pay check at least. Try exercise, taking warm baths, getting a massage. Things that are relaxing and create positive energy and try a therapist to have someone to talk to. This website helps but having people agree with you instead of getting professional advice is not always moving away from the problem. Im sure your sadness wont last forever but the sooner it goes the better. Life is too short for feeling so bad. Good luck. walking helps.

Winesar21' feel free to reach out to me if you ever need someone to talk too.

Being satisfied with one's work life us important, for we spend do much time on the job. Have you ever considered going to a career conselor to see if maybe they can help you find a career that would best match your desires and personality?

Ever thought about doing sales?

I found I like working in the arts and entertainment field. I'm in the process of filming and editing videos of over 30 summer camp theatre plays for kids. It's pretty lucrative and lasts 'til mid-August, and then I go back to a boring security guard job plus filming and editing weddings.

I enjoy being effective technically and artistically within a team. I don't have to be "the boss". Rather, I like being a good collaborator. I dig communicating and performing effectively, in a way that benefits the larger organization, in an artistically energized, positively emotionally charged environment.

It's great that you're assessing your strengths too
