I hear ya. It's good to enjoy being alone, but not good to be lonely. Yes it would be nice to be noticed. I don't get any attention either, I feel invisible. Anytime you want to vent, we're here for you.

I hear you too. You can be in a crowd and feel alone. Do you have any friends or family you could reach out to? Phone or Skype works great.

Hello Star73. You are not alone. These now are tough times across the globe. Places that people have gone to for relaxation are closed to enforce social distancing. What I have read is maybe start a new hobby, read a good book, start a new language. Talk to family, neighbors and friends, video chat, Keep yourself occupied. Even a daily neighbourhood walk (and exercise social distancing) can help. Nothing like physically being tense. We will fight this pandemic. Hope this helps. Hugs.

Hello CaptainM thank you for your nice message, I am used to spending a lot of time indoors and alone, I am lucky to have a garden that I have made my relaxation space, it is the opposite effect at this present moment as there is no peace outside, I understand everyone has to make adjustments to this dreadful pandemic and all those poor lives lost and families destroyed, I really am a loner I don't often see friends, and i only have 2 adult children which live miles away and one in another country, I just miss the random walks in the forest and smell of sea air and on those days seeing strangers and swapping smiles
