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...

Happy Easter to you too. I am an Atheist but I like to think of Easter as a time to celebrate spring (and candy LOL). Peace to you all.

Yeah, happy Easter! And there was a wavering moment for me in church today when I realized that the 2 women I had hoped to make friends with, who are friends, well just aren't interseted. I know we don't go to church to make friends, but I'm very lonely and we are Christians... But I guess that doesn't obligate anyone to be my friend. So. I had to realize that though I may need people, I don't necessarily need them; and after that, a prayer and a few tears, I felt better.
There are other people my age at the church, but for some reason I don't feel like I can approach any of them. I'm self-conscious about my weight, so I'm shy, but I still try to smile and be cordial. People say "join a church" as a fix-it to your loneliness, but it increases mine sometimes.

Nevertheless, it's ultimately not why I go, so I volunteer and show up for class and just try to keep to those that are nice to me, however few and differing in age. And to top it off, my husband doesn't come to worship with me and the children. Sigh.
