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...
Ive always been working so much or life is always happening.
Today i have the day to myself. Im not sure if its loneliness or boredom...or i never realized it was this quiet when its just me... I want to reach out and talk to friends but i always feel like im a bother even though they tell me im not.
Or when i work up the energy to go out with friends i find myself drained afterward just talking/smiling/laughing.
Its so wierd...i find myself feeling happy in the moment but then it goes away so fast when im back alone with myself.
Really working on selfcare and being happy with my own company.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
Daily affirmations are another. Looking at yourself in the mirror when you awake in the morning and saying things like, "I am, a good person, I am a kind hearted person, I am a loving person, I am a creative person, I am fun to be with, etc.
We are never really alone and if you ask for proof of that, you will get it. Ask your guardian Angel to tell you she/he is with you in such a way that you will be 100% sure but don't get freaked out if you feel a light touch on your face arm or shoulder. All you really need to do is just ask....
God Bless
If any of your friends DOES feel like you are a bother, then they were not your friend anyway. But I really really doubt that is the case. Please reach out to someone!!
Also, you sound like an introvert (like me). There is nothing wrong with that, it just means that social situations can feel draining and you need some alone time to recharge. That’s ok. Recharge when you need to, but keep getting out there. It does get easier over time, and you’ll be glad you did in the long run.
Yes. I agree i have low self love and feelings of just not being enough for anyone. Including alot of doubting and overthinking uncessary things.
But slowly moving and learning and my counselor helping me along the way. I appreciate all the advice and encouragement.
working on my self worth is hard and confusing at time, but yes i know it will be worth it in the end.
