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.

I need to feel a true connection with somebody, it's draining reaching out to people and being rejected, there's only so many times that can happen and be able to brush it off. I can't remember the last one I felt an proper connection with a human being.

wish I knew what to do to help you like wave magic wand or something but it is a matter of trying to find people who are not self absorbed in their own little worlds...have you tried Meetup.com?

I do plan on trying meetup, but my confidence is pretty low right now, hopefully once it has improved.

just gotta always keep reaching out because not only do we need friends but people out there needing us too..try getting involved with crafts and hobbies which interest you-that way you will meet others with the same interests

I'm beginning to wonder why I try to reach out, but knowing me I'll continue to do so. I did consider joining a book group but I've got so many of my own to read, I wouldn't have the time.

I joined a book group once, and it was a good thing for me at the time...I moved out of town which is the only reason I don't go anymore...Maybe consider the book group....it's a great way to meet people and have some fun.

I might well do so.

I totally sympathize and empathize. In the fast growing city I live in, it is hard to make a sustained human relationship. I have heard this saying, " You can't make a new Old Friend."

You are in the right place. Many nice people here with similar stories.
I joined a dog-lovers meetup, and went to one gathering so far, a walk at a waterfront park with the dogs. it was a nice time. Would definitely do it again.

I deal with this as well. Being around family is great if I want that blood connection. But to be active in my community takes some hard work. The lower majority of my town are undesireable people that have addictions that get in the way of me being around someone who will be good company as a friend and confidante. Hope you find that happy medium somewhere, everyone deserves to not be lonely
