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...
Not just “I don’t have people around” alone. I mean that kind of alone where even when I’m surrounded, I still feel like I’m floating in a different world. Like I could vanish and no one would really notice. Or maybe they would… but not for long.
I’ve lost a lot—friendships, connections, trust. Some people left without a word. Some I pushed away. Some just… faded. And now it’s like I’m sitting in the quiet, trying to remember what it felt like to be loved without needing to perform or apologize for existing.
I don’t need fixing. I’m not looking for pity. I just want to know I’m not the only one feeling like this. That maybe someone out there gets it—that aching quiet, that numb weight, that whisper that says “you’re too much” when all you want is to be enough for someone.
If you’ve felt this too… I’d really like to hear from you.

Now that I am not talking to my whatever best friend, I realized that her life is full of drama. I had grown tired of hearing her stories about her boyfriend many months ago.

I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
My loneliness is when I tell myself I have no friends and no one likes me. It feels like my heart is being squeezed. But that is not true. And I know I have to make an effort and be a good friend (not leaning on them all the time). I am working on myself.
We can't be enough for others until we are enough for ourselves. Those of us that have issues that need to be fixed will not find a healthy and peaceful and loving relationship until we make those fixes inside of ourselves.
We are listening and I find your take on your life interesting and food for thought. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome to this sometimes slow forum. Stick around, still some very nice people on here. Give support to others also.
I like being alone, but not 'lonely'...the lonely comes when I allow my mind to wander down the rabbit hole of negativity, which leads to despair.
I hope you'll come over to the BP room, I do a post there called Wondering? Starting tomorrow, it will be a daily post It's a slow room, but the people are kind and many long term.
You are Not Alone while DS is functioning :) Hugs
