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...

hey it's my first time posting here I'm not quite sure if I'm even doing this right. but lately I've been feeling overwhelmingly lonely. all my "friends" have left me. I don't even know why. I'm a really nice person like I'm trying my hardest to reach out to people and get close but I'm just shut out every time. and that's caused me to build up some barriers too, especially between me and the people I love. I do have a boyfriend, but sometimes I get a false perception that he doesn't care either. I know that's not true. he's the only person I know for sure cares about me. I just miss having friends. it's the worst feeling ever.

i have the same problem. i understand what you are going through.i just do not know what i do wrong. i am glad you do have a boyfriend at least..that is something.it still not enough...guess it not much help though but maybe knowing some one else out there is going through the same thing might help a little

You are definitely not alone. I feel like that quite often myself. I like volunteering for different things as it gives me a chance to meet new people. Sometimes you just need to find the 'right' people for you..which can be a hard task. Also, sometimes I find I get the wrong impression of people..thinking they don't care when in reality they're just busy in their own lives or they struggle with their own problems.

I go through the same thing. When I was in my late teens, early 20's I had a good amount of friends. But as the years went by that number got smaller and smaller. I don't know why. I also think it's because of me. I just have one good friend, but even with her I don't know how long that relationship will last. I agree with reddog201. Find people who are going through the same thing as you. I'm here if you ever want to talk.

Hi....
I saw on one of your posts that you live in Canada so do I......I would love to start a HS support group. I have been living with it for about 6 years. I was lucky the first doc I saw knew right away what it was. Lucky me eh lol......I had it just under my arms but now its traveled to my groin area....if i had an option to choose i would keep under my arms but Hs has a different plan. Im very depressed Im supposed to have a date today well that not going to happen I cant even walk. How do you explain to someone new whats going on....you cant. So hopefully I hear from you maybe we can hopefully start up a group.

Hi,
This is so true, the only thing I need is to make true connections with people
But I dont know, Sometimes I feel it is like this distant possibility thats impractical.
Because, I dont like to impose on people, I dont like carrying expectations, I dont want to be dissapointed, I feel obliged if someone does something nice, that makes me uncomfortable, I think of the time if things go bad, so yes I think it is impractical
A recent incident is that someone I confided and was with for 3 years, it has just dissapeared in thin air, what am I to think of relations to stay, If the most stable thing in my life has dissapeared, just as I had expected inside
