feeling lonely and sad

I feel terrible today. I've had some pretty good days but today i just feel bored, ugly and unnattractive. I wish I had someone to love and to love me, but I don't. That's human that is. I have my sweet cat who loves me dearly. Maybe I should snuggle up with him and tell him my troubles for today. Does anyone else ever feel like this?

yes I see it here all the time....do you have any kind of regular activities that you do...like YMCA or Meetup.com or volunteer work? That regular stuff seems to keep me out of those funk moments somewhat well

You are not alone in what you are feeling. I can guarantee that you are not ugly, but a beautiful human being. Feeling bored can cause all sorts of negative feelings. I watch uplifting movies or go for a walk when I feel like that. Hugs GB

I feel lonely and sad all the time. My kids never want to hang out with me and my husband is a nightmare in itself. It is so hard. I can understand what you are going through.

Feeling like you do is the norm for me now. We all want someone to love us, and be there for us. So you are no alone. Most of us on here feel exactly the same as you. So hang in there. Things usually happen, when you least expect it. Hugs CM

Yes. You are not alone. I just emailed someone who I respect and this person hasn't replied to my email. It really hurts because this is the second email I sent her which she hasn't replied to. I guess the message is loud and clear.

Sometimes I feel like there is something wrong with me.

I am grateful for this group. It really helps to know that I am not alone.

P.S. I too have a cat but he doesn't listen to my troubles.

I feel you on that, I very often feel those same things. Not so much the ugly thing, I know I'm a good looking guy, but I still find myself wishing someone would love me for who I am. I'm tired of being looked at as "too depressing" or "too needy", I have a desire to feel wanted, it's simply human nature. Don't let anyone tell you that you're a bad person for not wanting to feel lonely, they probably don't understand how it feels.
Keep your head up.

Yes, I feel the same way as you describe, suzi. Like koyu I email friends and they don't respond to me either. I am trying to find a part time job or volunteer work but I live in a small town that has little to offer. I am feeling lonely, bored, and depressed today.
