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.

Any lonely souls?

Are there any lonely souls here that would enjoy an occasional message of sharing, support, and fellowship, offering the same in return? Heaven forbid maybe build on a friendship. I can see that my social anxiety has reared its ugly head, not to mention I struggle with typing out my thoughts. This place seems a bit locked into a few veteran people who in all honesty converse way over my head. I don't dare even post on the Anxiety board as it gives me a whole new level of anxiety.

I’m sorry you are in such distress, mosaic. Feel free to write on this loneliness board every day if you’d like. You can send me a message through the email thing if you’d like. I’m afraid I might be someone you can’t relate to as I am retirements age. This forum, DS, no longer attracts a ton of people. Those long timers you mention stay here to help others and because I guess they care about others. Sometimes people post things that are difficult to understand I agree. That might be me, who knows? Or you might be reading something that is written by a person struggling that day.

I have been on here for a long time, under different names for different times. What I notice lately is more people who come to take and don’t give back. They don’t respond to others. They get on here and stay self absorbed and never reply to other people’s posts. Lots of people post once and never come back. I encourage you to respond to others with that positive message you have in your heart. Even if they sound illogical or whatever. Maybe your kind words given freely will help you and them?

Welcome to the group. For me it is definitely better to spend my time alone than being with a person who doesn’t deserve you. I always attracted toxic people who I thought I could fix.
I am trying to build positive energy that will allow me to live a good life without regrets. Keep posting, friends will reach out. Hugs!

Do you have any pets? Pets are great companions. My Henri (chocolate lab) keeps my depression & anxiety in check. Unconditional love!

We put our little one down on Jan 17th. It's been a very tough few weeks. Unconditional love is right.

Feel free to message me if you ever want to. I have social anxiety as well. Not so much loneliness though as I'd rather be alone but I have my days when some company is much desired. :)

I’m so sorry about your beloved pet. I still talk to (in my mind) my last cat. He loved me so much and got sick and suffered but still showed me unconditional love. Still miss him.

I'm new to this. I'm alone 23 hrs a day. The only people I see or talk to is people at truck stops and shippers and receivers. My x kinda guy we talk,but he's broken my heart 1 to many times. We're not in a relationship, just love him and can't leave. Just feeling lost..

Hi mymosaic.

I'd be more than happy to talk with you in private messages, if that is what you are looking for. I tried to go to your page and send you one, but your page is private. Feel free to message me if you want to talk though.

I would like to talk to someone without judgment.
