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.

I'm not perfect

I had a really busy day. I finally got home. I had much less time to feel lonely today. That's a good thing. A really good friend is going to get me someplace important in the future. I'm feeling humbled right now. That's a good thing too. Sometimes I think that I'm working pretty hard. Then I wonder why I can't meet anybody. But I see clearly now that there are plenty of people out there struggling very much harder than me. And their lives aren't perfect either. It's weird world to be sure. When I see stuff like that I feel guilty that I can really feel too much self pity too often. But I don't think my emotions are going to stop. I just wish I could control them a little better. Bless you. :)

If its one thing I learned over the last couple years, its the more we put ourselves out there the more chances we have to meet people. It can be hard when you try and don't get the results you were hoping for, I've been dealing with that myself. I've always been a little more emotional than I would like myself, all we can do is try to be rational when we listen to them. Its really good you're trying to stay humble and think about the positives in your life, thats how we find the upsides to expand on. Its a weird world but a big one to be sure and lots of people to connect with. I hope things get better as you go through the growth and changes you're looking for. Be well

jsealy, hang in there friend. Keep grinding. I've tried to leave the circumstances of others out of my happiness equation altogether. Sure, things could be worse and many people out there are struggling more than I; but that doesn't negate my struggles. Naturally, we don't want to waller in our self pity; but please remember that you are entitled to hurt some too. Our feelings are legitimate, we just have to put them in their proper place.
Having said all that, your post implies that you are doing the right things for the right reasons in dealing with your loneliness. Try and let yourself see and believe that and then keep it up. I'm guessing that you're following the recipe for more companionship just fine. Well done and try and let yourself see it.
Prayers friend.

Thank you guys for your support. Life is more the journey than the destination. I need to keep trying to focus on that. It's not always easy. But I do believe in the virtue. Blessings.
