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 can't help but feel I'm taken for granted. Everyone always has to compliment me on how strong I am to have gone through what I've experienced, through all the depression, abuse, bullying, rejection, and abandonment and somehow I'm still here.

You seem to mistake me for some kind of unbreakable force because I've never resorted to substance abuse or self-harm to cope with the pain. Just because I'm still here and fighting doesn't mean I want to be.

I am not invincible. I am not unbreakable. I am hurt. Badly. By many people who I desired to be close to, and many who given their roles in my life should have been. Whether they be family or online. And I don't think I'm going to get better.

I pushed forward all this time because of a delusion of false hope and nothing more. That maybe, someday, someone will love me. For real. To allow me close to them and hold them and they themselves returning the favor not just to appease me but because they truly feel that way. That one day I won't be alone anymore. But that day isn't coming.

It doesn't matter how much of a good person or friend I am to others, fact of the matter is no one cares enough to let me closer than an arm's distance and it fucking kills me inside. I have all the love in the world in my heart to give and no one wants it.

Why am I even here?

Is there one thing that brings you some peace even for one minute. It’s a start and with all of your giving and being taken advantage of by friends and family one thing that helps your attitude is huge for now. Also with the giving that’s been abused have you thought of a skill you have that may be beneficial to a non profit volunteer position. Just thinking of ways to let some good feelings into your life. Blessings for your life.

I used to feel like you. Well despite my depression and loss of self, I managed to find someone. Him and i have our differences but im fighting 4 myself and us because I want us to last. I struggle with my self esteem for the fact i want sex w my bf or for him to make advances i doubt if he truly loves me day to day but im trying to have faith. There is love 4 everyone hang in there

I saw some dog tags for sale in a catalog that had the definition for survivor on them. There is also a quote at the beginning of one of my fav books. I think it's chapter seven. The book is called Memories of Ice by Steven Erickson, my fav author. The quote is about survivors syndrome.
Maybe you should look these things up and find comfort in your strength. Two other books I would recommend are never give up, never give in. And the art of perseverance.

Days feel like years when there's no hope for a future. Like I just sit around waiting for the hours/days/weeks/years to go by (and they can't go by fast enough) waiting for the end. I thought the idea of volunteering was great, but in my case, I would never have the strength to seek out opportunities on my own. I'm paralyzed with anxiety when it comes to interacting with people.

Do you have pets?? I know a dog or cat in no way can replace someone spooning you in your bed, but they def. allow you a release valve for loving on something, and they do love you back. I'm currently in the process of trying to embrace being a 'cat lady'. lol
