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.

All I get offered is sex, when what I crave is intimacy.

I want someone to know me, but the guys I date seem to think that intimacy means sex. I can't find even one who understands that intimacy involves getting to know someone on a much deeper level. I have sex partners but am never really intimate with them, it makes the sex so empty and fake, but my partners think it's great. They love my physical abilities but have no interest in really knowing me.

Sex without intimacy makes me lonelier than being alone. Honestly, masturbation is preferable, but the guys I meet think sex without emotional attachment is wonderful. It's made me incredibly sad.

I don't believe in having a legal contract with someone promising to love them forever - or else get an attorney. I believe in living together and loving each other, being committed because you want to be and not because you legally have to be.

I think I am going to wait to have sex till I am in a monogamous relationship.

Sadly what Nolaguy is saying is sadly true..Sex for men is just that if they are not into you. The older ones regressing to being boys that chase after very young girls (young enough to be their great, great, grand-daughters). A real man will know to appreciate you.

Ok i have been in a relationship with a female and I loved the sex but I wanted the intimacy as well and she didnt she just wanted sex. As a result of this recent relationship I have been feeling depressed because I want to be in love again and be happy to come home to someone who wants me there and cant wait to see me.

Sorry to hear. It is very hard dealing with losing someone through divorce and having to rebuild. You'll find happiness again one day.

I'm not worried about finding happiness in the future. I'm worried about having to live alone TODAY. I take one day at a time. And each one is painful without the love I need.

I am worried that I will wake up tomorrow alone again, and the odds are that I WILL wake up alone tomorrow. This worries me

How many days of pain will I have to endure before I am loved? It's really scary to think of how many it might be - it's already been thousands of days, and each one gets harder to endure.

I know the feeling of loneliness. I don't like it either and it's been just over a year since the man I was with left. I try to keep busy with work, schooling, my children and grand-daughter, but there is always the time when it comes to putting my head on that pillow that loneliness overcomes me. I really don't like it one bit.
