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 have a wonderful family and I am really close with my mom. I am very blessed. I have no friends where I live bc I moved after i graduated high school and went away to college and met friends there but i graduated and everybody has thier own life. The firends i do have are long distance and I feel like i am loosing them. I need other people in my life besides my family. Does anybody else feel this way?

I feel this way.
I do have some family that is available sometimes yet I don't feel like
talking to them all the time.
I don't feel that they get me and we are not that close to each other.

Yeah i know what you mean. I do not tell my family everything unless they need to know. My only way to vent is on here or with my couselour and my 12 step group. I want other people in my life to go out and do things with.

I know how you are feeling. I have no one in my life. My son lives about an hour away but works a lot and has his own life and I hardly ever see him. My other family live in different states. I don't know anyone where I live and even though I push myself to go out I can't seem to find a friend. It is getting worse and worse and I am afraid if something doesn't change in my life I won't live much longer.

I have somewhat the reverse - friends but no close family, and even friends are not in abundance. I constantly seek to fill a void left by lack of close family by trying to make more friends and have them subsitute for family, but it doesn't work. I am not close to my mom, and our faily is very small and scattered. It is very discouraging, and I envy those with close families. I suppose it is all perspective...

I appreciate you all sharing. I am legaly blind myself and the public transportation is not good where I live and so i depend on my family to take me places and to do things with. In a perfect world i want friends and a life long partner and my family. Hopefully things will change when i get a job.
