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...

Debilitated

loneliness is extremely debilitating. I'm currently in my last year of high school and have no friends. I managed to make a good friend about 2 years ago but she moved away from the city and even though we exchanged phone numbers she did not message me ever since and blocked me. That was quite saddening, knowing that my only friend was not even a friend at all. I suffer from schizophrenia and BPD. All I want is a caring person to be special to. Somebody who has similar interests as me and finds me an amazing human being. I feel I have so much to offer This huge world but nobody sees my potential or merely expresses my work to be fantastic. I just think my situation makes me an extremely depressing person, which people obviously run away from. Am I really like this at heart? It seems been so long that I wonder.

You've convinced me, you are everything you say you are and maybe more. The problem with being too great, as you are, is you put yourself at arms length to other/s, I am familiar with this because like you I have no friends either, unlike you though, that fails to bother me as I refuse to settle for second best friendships. I don't think you have to change much, maybe be seen to treat yourself well around others so as they have a healthy lead to follow. Good luck with it, and yes, you ARE a winner.

I believe that you are a beautiful and wonderful person. I struggled with making friends and still do. I have a stutter and some days I can barely talk and it makes me not want to talk to anyone. I was always nervous for school field trips wondering if anyone would want to hang out with me. What helped me was finding the people who looked like me. Look for the people who are distant and by themselves. That seemed to help me. Maybe it could help you :)

It is not easy to make good friends. I have a lot of friends, but no one call me. No one email me. I only get scam mails or people try to sell me things. In high school. I have a lot of friends. I want to find a close friend. I did find one. But he turns out to be humiliaing and abusive.
Find a coach.

Go hang out at the library at lunch time. You don't have to have friends, You just have to avoid other people pitying you. Go to the library and study and people won't think you have no mates, they will just think you're a swot.

When you are no longer at school you will be in the real world with real people who will treat you based entirely on how you behave, and you will get what you deserve. And love? Love comes in its own time. Love operates on its own terms. You cannot bridle love. You have to just be available when it comes.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
