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.

Life and Friends just disappearing

I came to the sudden realization that some friendships just end, with space and time, people just fade. No drama, No explanation NOthing... it just ends And it makes me feel sad... yah "Life just happens, people are busy, people change and all that ironies of life" yah yah yah... BUT doesnt it make you feel sad? I feel sad thinking about... and its like damn, I had a good time with this "friend" but it really is time to let it go... Perhaps this is what "growing up is". Maybe I was thinking that someday we'd still, find whatever we had in the past... but theres been to much time past. I am rambling...


My Point: Life Happens and "friends", people who were once close to just move on and its sad. I guess I just wanted to share what I was thinking.. it really sucks but, Life goes on and its just sad. But, I'll be okay, always have been, again just wanted to share what I was thinking 


Thanks for listening!

Hi, I understand. I lost 99% of my friends after mental illness took over. They didn't know what to do or handle it. All these years later, they are still not here, so are they really your friends? Life does go on! Hugs!

I burned a lot of bridges with others....so I have to think lonely is the result myself....but I found places like AA and that helps but unless your careful AA can be lonely too

Hi....I'm sorry about your losses, I too have burned bridges and I know I've been a friend to dump the toxic friends out of my life....We all grow and change, sometimes out of loyalty a fried or two remain...yet there are no guarantees. I posted above about the huge life change and trying to rebuild a life. I find it Very Hard to put myself out there, and even harder to trust others today...the world is not like it used to be prior to 'gadgets' and such...rarely see one on one conversations, no meeting people through friends, nor through kids...every kid activity is now a 'play date'....no more kids running through yards, a community to raise them. At 63, I find my own company ok...I do tend towards the depressed side and isolate. What I have started to do is just smile at people, or say good morning, chat in a grocery store or library...seems to help, having my son so late in life, almost 43, not many men are willing to have a relationship with a woman and newborn...I was a single parent by choice...couldn't see raising two babies. Anyway, I still "look" and ya never know what the Good Lord Has In Store~~just that it will be for good! Best, ml

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...
