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...

Sometimes it's better to be alone cause no one can hurt you.

Thats the truth.

You are so right. I think that is why so many of us are lonely. We don't want to be hurt so we choose to be lonely. After being hurt over and over again, you just give up.

I've done the same. Isolated myself because I fear being hurt. Also, I realised lately, I usually prefer to be alone.
But.... human beings are social animals. The fact we are here, on the loneliness group would suggest we are feeling something is lacking by our not having that social interaction.
So maybe it's not better to be alone.

You are right,cause I am afraid of being hurt too. Cause we have been hurt too. Cause I was with my ex husband for 24 years,we we're each other's best friend for long time,and I have always been am afraid of getting hurt..we felt in love at first it was amazing,he was my everything to me.we knew each other so so good..after some years he changed for the worse,coming home late from work,and I was upset,told me,would say say honey ,and I kept forgiving him then some time he came home drinking a a little told him he punched the door,and hit me,later thAt day he said honey I am sorry,after this after for a long time,marks mentally and physically kept this severe from my family friends too.in time I found a group of women that had the same problems that happen to me. Just for so so many years I thought it was my fault,he maded me feel that way. But it was not,I all ways worry pray for me cause I love him. For a distance love cause his drugs drinking destroyed me us. That why I want to be alone. Cause love really love.

Sometime making better decisions reduces the risk of being hurt and improves the chances of having a fulfilling life...

I've come to realize, that is quite true. Learning to see that there can be positivity and beauty in loneliness, to see the good, to see what it teaches you about yourself. Can be hard to see this, agree with this, esp. when some days loneliness brings sadness and hurt. But that quote and image is quite true. I also agree, making better choices can reduce the risk of being hurt and harmed, sometimes both are easier said than done, but both no doubt require true patience :).

I do understand being alone you know that you won't get hurt by other people.

Sometimes might look better but is not healthy in my opinion. We came in this world not to be alone but to interact and leave with people around us

I have been hurt very badly too but lots of people are and bounce back. I'm starting to think its not the being hurt that's the problem, its the inability to learn from the experience and try something new. Good luck with your journey.
