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.

Hi, I am looking to make friends who are near to my state, city...etc. to get to know and MAYBE meet and do things with, such as movies, lunch and so on. I have a lot of interests and I am pretty smart and vary funny,... albeit, my humor is sometimes dark and left of center. open to all people. So lets get to know each other. friend me if you would like too.

years ago I wanted to meet a few people but people come and go on here that it isn't worth getting my hopes up. there was a woman that was coming to my town for medical treatments that wanted to get coffee and then she disappeared from my friend list, not the site. another girl was on the other side of town, I was trying to get to know her and she moved back home across the country. i'm tired of disappointments from people on here. I just log on and hope to see a hug or message and there are times when that doesn't happen

Bill tell me if I'm wrong: AA I thought was for anonymity {-- the ouside world. (No one outside a gp knows who or what is inside.) Wherein boundaries among the members are negotiable.) , / Inquiring minds..

Cuz I always have it in mind there could be ppl not so together yet, super clingy and more :o

I enjoy your posts for sure.

Angeleyes, sorry you had those disappointments. I wonder, hmm, if some DS ppl would be a bit taken aback when hearing from someone looking for f2f. Anyhow; I just now put location on my profile. Now if I were in a big city, I'd put that information more at the top of profile (easier seen). (--Not so likely where I am.)

So F2Fs *are* something to think about, but....

Big differences exist between ppl here, I don't have to remind you. --Still thinking of f2f. For one, degree of fragility. Perhaps just 2 DS members in the same town, without knowing each other much, would not necessarily be any match. Even for being in the same room 1/2 hour. Better IMHO, to build up by getting to know one another gradually by e-mail. I recommend a temporary e-mail account which will ensure a level of security at least for awile.

Maybe I sound paranoid, but I've been around the block

gotta go (heading out around the block again :), just kidding. , , Caleb
