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.

I’m sorry in advance for this kind of entry I’m just kind of down tonight and maybe need a friendly voice. I’m not really sure what I need. I’m having a self appointed first world problem. Haha..... I asked a friend out on a date and she said yes and I stupidly got excited to find out she has a boy friend which makes sense because she attractive and an all around just generally nice person. I’m 29 and I’m very shy, it’s difficult to meet intimate partners and I haven’t met anyone that I actually wanted to spend a great deal of time with in the past 5 years. I’m just wondering are there any good people out there that aren’t already taken? Sometimes it just feels like despite looks and good demeanor I’m just destined to spend my life facing things alone.
Again I’m sorry for wasting anyone’s time I realize that this is rediculous and it’s just a trivial problem that only affects me but it’s just difficult to deal with sometimes. I constantly ask myself if I made a mistake by breaking up with my last relationship which was a 6 year commitment that was abusive, but constant. Now I wonder if it was just better to suck up the abuse and stay? It’s hard to get out of bed some days. I just want to meet one nice unattached person without a history of depression and drug abuse.

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...

I think it is great that you worked up the courage to ask your friend out. The outcome may not be desirable however it may be setting you up for something great. Perhaps you might be more comfortable asking out the right girl when she comes along.
I allowed someone in to my life after 8 years of being single. Found out he put up a facade but was upset with myself for not seeing it coming. I am still hopeful that one day someone special will take notice.
Regardless of your current state, no abuse is worth staying.
