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...

Connections

I think the one thing i miss more than anything is actually connecting with people. You know those people you always look forward to talking and hearing from. As time goes on it seems those connections are less and less. The people we once connected with disappear and we try with others but they don't feel the same. It's a sad world sometimes...

Sometimes people I don't connect with open up a little if I try harder to connect with them.

The way that I look at it is. Of the 7 billion people who live on this planet, I am sure I can find someone to talk to at any given moment.

DS isn't really what it use to be, to be honest. It use to be alot like facebook is now where you could instant chat with anybody online and that was a great way to meet new people. If their green light was on, that was an open invitation to buzz me for a conversation about anything that's important to you or nothing that's important to you but if you just want to post in a group then you could go invisible and have some privacy.

Chat was taken away from us when Google stopped supporting it. The powers that be, are hoping to get a replacement at some point in time but it's been so long, many have given up on the idea but there are alternatives like facebook and other sites. You just have to google it, that's all.

God Bless

Scaredandafraid I agree with you. It seemed like it was a lot easier to meet people in the past. Maybe it was because we were alj younger and were looking to establish new friends. These days, it either seems like folks already have enough friends that they aren't looking for new ones...or folks are more in tune with being alone with their electronic devices rather than socializing with folks.

Every where i go I'm able to talk to anyone and laugh and joke and genuinely have a good time but no one wants it further than that. That's the part i hate.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
