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'm curious if anyone else feels like they're completely distant from everyone else? I'm 20 years old and I have nothing to prove I made it through anytime at all. I have no friends what so ever. My fianc keeps saying that his are mine, but there's an age gap of 15 years between us so I have nothing in common with them. I'm completely isolated. I have no one to talk to or to listen to me. Does anyone else feel like this?

You are too young to be going through this alone, and I don't mean to sound mean, but I think this man is too old for you. You are just starting your life and need time to just meet new people and find yourself. When I was 25 I dated a man that was 48 and to say it lasted would be a lie. We were just too far apart and his friends were too old to understand someone as young as me. I still had a lot of life ahead of me. I am not telling you to leave your fiance', I just want you to think about whether being with someone 15 years older than you is right for you at this time in your life. As far as having friends, you will be supported and meet a lot of wonderful people here on the loneliness site. You couldn't be in a better place for friendships. As with anything, take your time. I hope I haven't made you feel worse because those are not my intentions at all. What matters the most is your happiness. Hugs Gramybear

If he was the right man for you-I would say that age wasn't an issue-I was almost half my husbands age but know he was my exact other :)

But when I hear about how he is keeping you there=knowing how things are for you-how he doesn't seem to care about your lack of friends and places to go and things to do...you do need to live your own life as well as living a life with your husband.

If he doesn't want to change things for the better for you,then you need to change things for yourself..look online for jobs and places to live-it is a start and pehaps a wake up call for your "husband"
