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 really need some new friends. I dont have anyone that I can just talk to. I have friends that I barely see due to their life, but I dont feel comfortable at all talking to them. I dont feel comfortable telling them how I feel, things that I want to do, or places I want to go. I have suggested to do things and go places, but they don't go because one they feel as though that's an exciting thing to do and only wants to do it with their significant other, and two doesn't make time at all. But whenever they are having an event or plan something they expect me to be there. I'm tired of it! I consider myself not to have any friends, because their is really no one that I can talk too. I just want someone to just listen to me. Listen to the things that are on my mind. The things I want to express to someone. I'm not in a relationship and that's hard enough, but having someone to be able to talk to and someone who actually listens and give you advice itself is an amazing feeling........... I'm new to dailystrength so I hope I didn't go over board telling you guys how I feel. LOL

Hi, I'm sorry you're feeling lonely.
I'm not sure how much this helps, but if you need someone to vent at and message and just get things off you're chest then I am here. I know how it feels to be lonely and like you don't have people who care enough to know what you think and feel. Please, if ever you want to chat then message me on here, I'll listen to whatever you need to say without judgement. Keep your chin up :)

Hi Dear. Welcome. You're at a good place for support and friendship. Thanks for sharing- vent all you need and we'll listen. There are lots of different groups in which you can make friends too. I'll try to send you the links or where you can find them. If you need to talk, I'm happy to listen too.

I feel the same way all of my friends are now married or we just don't seem to get around each other anymore. I just got out of an abusive relationship I was married for 7 months. But my husband was physically and verbally abusive. I already feel the loneliness creeping up on me. It's hard when you don't have anybody to share anything with. But I'm just going to keep faith and know that one day I'll make some friends and maybe find myself with a companion

Hey, I totally understand. I'm also new here and sometimes feel like I don't truly have anyone. Maybe it's me? Maybe my expectations are too high? Either way, we are in the same boat my friend! I'm happy to lend an ear on whatever topic you want to discuss.

I had "friends" like that a few years ago. It really sucks. It's all about them. I did eventually drop them, at first I was scared to because then I'd have no one, but I braved it and dropped them. I felt bad afterwards, but as time went on I didn't miss them at all, and realized that they were not so nice to me. I know it's lonely, as I am also, but just keep busy, at least you are away from these "friends".

Hey i can understand how you feel. I am going through some hard times as well where I have absolutely no one to talk to. Would you like to be friends?

I feel the same way and I am in a relationship! I feel like all my friends are married now with kids or some of my old friends are on drugs so I have nothing to do with them anymore. My bf needs new friends too. We don't really have mutual friends because his old friends are into drugs. And his family is weird and most of my family is dead or not close. Idk what to do. I miss having someone to talk to also. Even tho I live with my mom and bf, i still feel lonely alot, especially at work. My job is very boring. I wish i had more friends or just people to talk to that listened and were interesting. Maybe you should start a friends support group.

I know what your going through! I’ve gone through it before too. What really helped me was throwing myself into hobbies and things I loved. Taking classes and even using social media to share your interests will help you make a ton more connections. But that does take a little bit of time, so In the mean time, let’s be friends!! Message me anytime !
