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...
Hey guys.
There is a question in my mind and I wanted to share it with you.
Do you guys think that when other people,our acquaintances,people at work realise that we are lonely and don't have many friends,they consider us to be losers.
This is because whenever I get calls from my college mates they always ask that whether I have made any friends or whether I go out.
I don't know whether its in my head or what but I feel that way.
I also think that it can have a negative impact on our professional career.
Can anyone relate?

So there are positives and negatives associated with us. I think it is a matter of taking to good with the bad and try to do the best we can for where we are in life!
And, unfortunately, I do think some people think that. I know this because I have actually heard people say it. And even though I am lonely and want friends, I still ask myself "Do you really want friends like that?" The answer is no. I don't want a friend who thinks someone is a loser because they are lonely.
In the meantime, I'll just keep on talking to my cats. They love me no matter what.
I know that I do not know what is going on in those other people's lives nor do I really care, unless we are really close friends. It seems that the type of people you are talking about are just superficial colleagues, who should be kept at a professional arm's distance anyhow.
I have also learned for myself that when close friends or family ask questions similar to those you mentioned, they are saying those out of love for me but just don't understand how their presentation may rub me the wrong way. I try to focus on the "motive" or meaning behind their inquiries, which is concern and love.
