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...
I just recently left my bad marriage after being with my x for 24 years. Although I enjoy not having to walk on eggshells all the time I feel so alone. My kids are grown and busy with their own lives so I spend a great deal of time alone. I don't really have any friends and I find it hard to meet people. I have met a few people online I grew close to but then all of a sudden they would just up and stop talking and be gone. That always hurt. It happened to me recently with a guy I was talking to...I thought the world of him and thought he was a true friend. One day we were the best friends and the next he was gone. No explanation nothing..gone! I keep rereading his last email and trying to figure out what happened but I can't figure it out. It broke my heart so it makes that I find it hard to trust people. I spend a lot of time crying and I hate that. I am beginning to think there must be something wrong with me..my x told me for years that everybody including my family hated me..that I was fat and ugly and no other man would have want me. I tried hard not to believe those words but over the years they ate away at me and I am beginning to think he was right all along. Here I am crying again as I type this....I hate feeling so lonely all the time.
I don't know you, but it's not healthy for you to go on believing what others' are saying about you. Get some help! That you've come to DS is a good start. Just remember that we are all damaged one way or another.
I had the same thing happen to me with a DS friend. It too broke my heart. Now that some time has gone by....I'm able to look at the relationship more objectively and see that it was flawed from the beginning. I also see that he was flawed and destined to do what he did.
It hurt like hell, but I don't hold it against him because I know he has issues. I've moved on.
I hope you find your peace soon. Best wishes...
You are a beautiful woman, don't you let those comments creep in and torment you.
Sometimes friends come and go for different seasons. Whenever I disconnect with a friend, I can always look back & see that they were there for a growing season for either me or them.
Prayers that peace overtakes you.
2) Creeps online are married and then get caught hanging out online with someone else and then you never hear from them again
3) Consider therapy for yourself. There are a lot of issues that come with being put down and treated "less than" for 24 years
4) Be Happy! Make a choice to create a wonderful life from this day forward... blessings
