you need to change then.....getting more social contact with others thru things like meetup.com or even just a dating site to make new roads to new people

Also don't be afraid to venture out to gathering places like a bowling alley or to play pool. Sometimes the conversations you will strike up with strangers lead to greater things

Also your local church

Scaredandafraid: It's hard to venture out to meet others when you're feeling really depressed ...

I know what you mean. Its a lonely feeling having no one to put down as emergency contact. I remember when I had to switch it from my mom to my dad when she died and then to a friend when my dad got too old. I'm grateful I at least have a friend I can trust with it. It gets worse as we get older and lose more of the people we've had around a long time. If we have a hard time making new friends its a damn lonely exisitence.

I understand your situation. I'm here for you too. I'm struggling right now, also. Another suggestion is a person group. They have one at a church h locally where I live. Not everyone likes games, but another besides pool and bowling f, as suggested by Scaired and afraid is bingo. There are tricky trays.

Correction. An in-person support group.

I have felt alone most of my life. Even around people I have felt it.
Somehow I felt different from everyone. I couldn’t relate to most everyone. But then when I’m in nature somehow I don’t feel alone anymore. I feel serene and connected. Outside of myself. Finding that inner peace is a daily practice for me. It isn’t easy. I starting a routine that includes meditation and support groups as well as journaling. For the time being I’m living just for me and I’m finding that’s not selfish at all.

Being alone is not a bad thing. But, it is good to have people around you for companionship, and for those times of need. We were made to be in community. Find people around you to be in community with. And, make it happen, whatever that looks like. That way you will always have someone. And, I bet you are great to be around! ;) HUGS!

I feel so alone tonight. I so wish I had a loving partner holding me right now tonight. I wish I could feel that kinda comfort from another human being.
