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...
Hello. I'm new to this site. I've been feeling so lonely lately. This isn't due to the pandemic; I've always had a hard time making a keeping friends. I feel so defeated because all I want to do is go out and do fun things. I just never have the company to do so. I've been deprived of fun and laughter. I've been trying for months to invite a couple people over for Poker night, but I can't even wrangle in 2 friends to come over. People never show up to my parties or events. The man I'm dating is my rock. However he's lived a very social and exciting past. He brings up all these amazing experiences he's had with his friends, but I just can't help but be envious. I initiate things all the time with people but nobody ever wants to do things with me. I do as much as I can solo. I hike, bike, even go to concerts solo! But at some point you just need to laugh with company. My boyfriend says I'm not trying hard enough and I need to put myself out there, but I truly feel like I am! I don't think I could possibly try any harder to socialize more. I have been sabotaging myself with this never ending need of fun and adventure. My boyfriend and I just took a trip to Seattle for out anniversary. I was so excited to get out of the house and let off some steam, but the trip took a turn for the worst. During our trip my boyfriend told me he no longer wants to have children, something I have longed to do my whole life. This devastated me but I kept myself together. The straw broke the camels back when he wanted to cut the trip short and go home early because "there was nothing to do and it was raining." We had talked about all these fun things we wanted to do but we didn't end up doing any of them. I expressed my frustration with that on the drive home and he got very angry with me saying I'm never happy and I can't enjoy anything. It turned into this huge fight. The days following that trip have been rough. I'm trying to accept the fact that I probably won't be having children, while my boyfriend has been giving me a really hard time about me being sad all the time. I am so sick of just watching movies everynight. I'm so bored of life. But I don't know how to change that.

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
Afterwards, I told several people about it. All told me that to really test a relationship, go on vacation with a guy. I was also told that what happened to me was not unusual, that guys get nervous on these trips and break-ups happen a lot, especially if you've been dating this guy for over 6 months. I think that's the real make-or-break time. Sounds like it got to the point where you're both not happy. You know what? If you break up, get out there and create your own adventures!! Don't depend on a guy to do that for you. You can do it!
As far as the friends, maybe they didn't want to come over for poker due to Covid. What other places have you looked for new friends? It's hard to look right now, due to Covid, but there are plenty of groups, such as on meetup .com, that have groups of people out doing stuff. Maybe there will be something on there that interests you.
Also, you can make friends at your job. I met lots of people at work.
It would be good for you if you have social activities apart from your boyfriend.
