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.

Isolation leads to anger

Faced with a seemingly uncaring world that leaves you in your isolation and loneliness does not a certain resentment begin building up, you start feeling a little angry with people or society.... I realize that people have their own stuff to deal with and are busy trying to survive, I don't blame them. In many ways we are all islands unto ourselves but at the same time I believe we are all in this together and that 'no man is an island'. Ok, the anger is subsiding.

I can relate to this, being lonely sucks and sometimes you either get mad at society or
Yourself... I tend to do both therefore my anger takes a bit to subside

I live in New York City, and in as big a City as New York is, you would so not believe how many lonely people are here. You'd think with ALL these people around no one would be lonely. No one communicates, no one talks to each other, no one even looks at you. They're into their own bag of crap and couldn't care less about anyone else.
Try not to take it personally. It's a sad state of affairs in the world these days.

I was born. and raise in a city. Now I move into a city again. Meeting people ,making friends is not easy for many people. But is can be learn and practices. Try to find some groups to join, try dating serivces. Churches, martial arts classes. schools. I met my girlfriend in a spa. She is the massage therapist. We are attracted to each other. We are still in a good relationship together.

A second for what Peter has said. I can add volunteering as an activity where you are liker;y to meet people who care. Those who give of themselves and expect nothing in return are the type I wish I would encounter more frequently. In the mean time I will continue to seek opportunities to expand my horizons help the less fortunate.

volunteering is a good idea... good luck with finding more opportunities to help the less fortunate... there are so many homeless and in need of food etc. I know of someone who helps out in Denver, Colorado distributing food and clothing, He makes a big difference in this regard and uses a substantial portion of his own money to purchase food & clothes/ blankets etc....I just hope his business doesn't suffer as a result of his generosity.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
