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.

Hate to see what happens next after accepting loneliness and disappointment as the new normal...

It seems like you're having trouble with people not accepting you the way you are which left you friendless and disappointed in everyone's behaviour.

Not too difficult to overcome, I have been there. It is something that you have to empower yourself to change. Go places where other congregate, churches, libraries, volunteer opportunities,... Do not expect immediate results, just like meds do not work immediately - socializing is a learned skill. Keep trying and remind yourself when you are successful that you accomplished something. Eventurally the new normal becomes something else. Nurture yourelf to grow.

one way to end loneliness is to get out and be among other people. Volunteering is one good way. Find a meet up group. I belong to some meet up groups. I volunteered at a cat rescue group

Maybe it's that I don't even accept me...

Simple: Don't accept it. Change it. Place yourself in the midst of new people and be warm, friendly and sociable.

Dear mal66, you re not alone, you live in a world teeming with people. Most of us want friends and welcome new friends. There is no need to feel lonely. Love yourself, and smile, smile, smile. You will see that you will get smiles back. It is important to introspect: do you want to make friends, or you prefer to keep to yourself? Are you projecting friendliness, or that you want to be left alone? All of those things matter. Hope you can find out. Lots of care!

I have major issues with acceptance myself Mal66 so I know how you feel. People have left really good suggestions. Take it one day at a time and push yourself to try new things. I know thats hard when you feel like you do but its the only way to get out of the black hole....

Thanks for the responses...all of them are good ones. It certainly helps knowing I'm not the only one; loneliness, unworthiness, depression are all relatives of one another and the battle is an unfair advantage...

What's the most overrated scripted* tv show, in your opinion?*Scrpited, meaning a drama or comedy series - not reality shows, game shows, court shows, talk shows, variety shows, etc. (well, technically talk shows and variety shows often do have writers as well, but for this exercise we're just talking about shows that have both scripts and actors acting out those scripts so really the only show...
