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. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...

Giving Up

I have never been good at developing relationships.  I hate dating because the relationships usually end in heartbreak.   Both of my marriages lasted less than ten years.


Except for family, people just come and go out of my life.  It's so frustrating.


I can't do this anymore.  I don't have the energy to keep pursuing relationships.  It's clear that I was meant to be alone.

Depends whether you say this negatively or positively. I have two male family members, both went through nasty divorces, one goes out rarely, the other just to have fun, neither seem interested in marriage and both seem reasonably happy. If you think a relationship is important, work on it, evaluate yourself realistically, and try for one; otherwise, be happy and enjoy things alone.

I know how you feel. It's so hard to try to get and maintain relationships. I have same problem. Don't give up.

When I was mentally and emotionally unwell, co-dependent and needy, I attracted abusers, narcissists and all-together-not-good-guys.

It was pointed out to me that my "picker was broke". As a part of my 12 step recovery, I worked on the fears that kept me unwell. I fixed my picker. As I got healthier, I attracted healthy people. And 21 years ago, I was able to pick a good one.

I didn't wait around for a good one to find me. I worked on myself until I could recognize a good one when I saw him.

Good luck.

HotCzech has a story similar to mine.

There is a good book called, "The 12 steps for everyone who really wants them" by Jerry Hirschfield, which is the 12 steps of Emotional Health Anonymous. This book helped me more then anything and it put me on the road to emotional recovery. After taking the suggestions in this book, I was able to manifest a new future for myself fill with love, abundance, and eternal happiness! I highly recommend it. Yu can get it used on amazon for a few dollars or if you pm yur address to me, I'll send you a free copy. No strings attached.

You can have a better life.....you can have a happier life. You just need to do the inner work on yourself and then watch the miracles happen in your life.

God Bless

It's been quite a while since I've been on this site so I didn't see your post. I hope you're doing better now. I can relate though, today is a really bad day for me. Which is why I logged in again.
