A little lonely

Hello,


   I'm new to this site and a little nervous. I've been very lonely lately and don't really know what to do about it. Recently, I've been struggling with a condition that's made it very hard to be active. I had to quit my job and I really miss my team. I was a cook, and though it's a difficult job, it can be very fun and rewarding. Most days I can be content to be alone, but it's starting to get depressing. Ever since quitting, I haven't had much contact with people and I'm suffering for it. The poeple I can be in contact with are emotionally manipulative or don't understand me at all. It feels really isolating and trapping.

sorry circumstances have occurred that make it hard to have good friends and people to associate with.....your not alone here....we all have some issue or the other that keeps up our feelings of loneliness.....me right now I am dating a pretty gal who is widow and is keeping me a distance away from intimacy and we have much in common.....but this weekend I am going to do a Becky no contact weekend to see if she even notices that I have not been bothering her.....or rather talking to her either in person/text or phone.....I just think I do not mean a lot to her....wish I did....she means a lot to me....I like her....she is a wonderful lady....I am 62 later this year and she just turned 57,,,,,,

I'm sorry, that must be truly hard to deal with. I know this is none of my business, but she could be scared of getting close to people in fear of losing someone again that she really cares about. I really feel badly for your situation; it's not fair to you. Is it maybe something you two could talk out? I'm sorry if this isn't helpful.

She may need to have some time to think how she feels about you...I left my husband twice...the first time after months..he said i could not call him very much because we needed to move on in life...i really realized that i cared for him and moved back in days later...then years later...i was ready to start a new life. i left... him and i dated and 4 months later, came home...and staying home...yes, you need to figure out how she feels about you....and maybe talk to her also.. i am 60 yrs old...i will never be madly in love again....but i care for my husband and we are friends....if your woman is looking for the knight in shining armour....that probably wont happen....finding a friend is so much more important...good luck.
