Loneliness Support Group

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation.

so i post every now and again about loneliness but honestly no one replies much, so i stopped posting but i need some interaction i have a job i see people at work i come home i deal with my kids, but then i retire to my room and isolate myself and feel lonely, i could go to anywhere and feel alone, i do alot of hiding of myfeelings, i put on a happy face for those to see, while on the inside i feel like i am dying like i am a million miles from anyone yet i may be in a crowded room, i dont know due to things that happened to me as a kid i made bad choices and when i grew up i got rid of the garbage friend, but now i have no one at all, guessi am just looking for friends

I have replied to your posts a couple times but you never messaged me?I have met some great friends on here I don't see why you can't do the same!It is not healthy for you to constantly hide how you really feel.We all need someone to talk to,share what's really going on with us,even if it is only one person.If you are working and caring for kids then you need good friends to keep filling up your "gas" tank so you can accomplish all you resposibilities.Keep coming on here and posting or commenting on others posts you will see results.

Hi, I know what you mean about putting on the smiley face everyday for the world to see while you feel horrible on the inside. You know I often see that in posts where some seem to get a lot of replies and some don't. You know how some people just attract others without even trying well maybe that's the case here too were some people in need just attract more people to their posts but I'm just guessing. I know it's hard but try to keep hanging in there and know you aren't alone in how you are feeling.

I was a single parent, and I didn't realize how difficult it was for my daughters, just having one parent. I wish I had been more tuned in to their needs. Siingle parents desperately need a support system.

I don't believe in being "friends" with your children, they need a parent first, but when they're grown, they can be better than any friend, despite mistakes, if they could always tell that you loved them.

Even if just once a week, you took them to a park, for a walk, to McDonalds, and enjoyed every second (if only on the outside), it
would be great for all of you.- even if they're teens, and roll their eyes, and resist the idea.

I wish I could go back and smile and listen more, and criticize and yell less. May not apply to you, but it'll apply to someone here.

Even if you're not religious at all, if there's a "Single Again" church group, or some other group to give a serious try, there's a whole lot of lonely females in the world. I personally wish there were more groups just for making friends to go get coffee with or go to lunch with, but there's nothing here.
