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

feeling lonely

I feel like this isolation of my thoughts has to end. I feel like I have to do everything everybody else says. I feel afraid of this guy so I'm totally not taking his calls. He is super manipulative and will draw me in again if I talk to him. I am going to reach out to a therapist on Monday. I just want someone to talk to about my life, my career, my thoughts. I think I want to be a personal trainer. I'm just exhausted from loneliness emotionally. I hope I get this job that I applied for, at least then I won't be alone everyday anymore. I miss my old job so so so much. I miss everyone there. Please let me know if any of this is making any sense. Suzi

It makes complete sense. There seems to be a great deal of emptiness, and a resilience from the person who is calling you.

Hopefully all goes well with the job and you get it, but my best advice is to alter the mindset from a dependence on the external environment. Instead, become malleable and adapt to the environment you are currently in and maximize the ability to solve the issue you are feeling with what you have. Reach out to friends, family, etc. and it's very good that you came to this place. You will find very kind and helpful people to help you through this tough time.

Best wishes.

Suzi, good luck on the job interview. I hope that you get the job and that it is as great as your former job.

For me, staying busy with work, school , activities, etc. helps me from feeling as lonely...simply because sometimes I'm so busy, I don't have time to dwell on the loneliness. So hopefull, getting the new job will help you to surpess some of your loneliness.

Feeling isolated is something that can be very debilitating and difficult to get out of ,,,the motivation to change to something positive is there but you sort of lose the road map and that doesn't help very much,,,having goals and some form of a plan is a good strategy,,faith in good things and courage to follow your instincts are alway a positive,,,and even though it may seem to go nowhere ,,eventaully it does lead to good things I think,,

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
