This is very sad, there will be a time when you'll be able to let someone in your life again but until then I hope you do not isolate yourself too much huggss!!!!

Yes. I can relate. It's gotten better now that I'm not so physically ill and have been able to get out and make friends. I don't know your circumstance but I agree, try not to isolate. Get out at and meet new people by taking up a hobby, class or even a pet.

There was a long period of time, about 20 years, that I was like that. It was so depressing, and I was so desperate that I would have latched onto anyone I could. I think it was because I couldn't accept who I was. Now. I'm older, and I accepted it. I feel so much better about it. Since my attitude changed, I go out and keep very busy. I joined a gym, take day trips, do things with my sister (don't have friends either, just an acquaintance here and there). Yes I am still very lonely but I am keeping busy to avoid thinking about it.
That's my advice to you.....Just keep active and busy. PUSH yourself to do that. You will still be lonely, but will feel much better, and you won't be dwelling on it as much.

You could try volunteering. There are people that could use
your help. Woman's shelters, nursing homes, Hospitals, animal
shelters, food pantries, Habitat for Humanity, etc.

Hi anha:

I say that you just ran into the reality of this world - and it is sad.

Your comment is very insightful.

Most people have "a busy schedule" because consciously or unconsciously they stay busy to keep from being alone or lonely - and that kind of busy is throwing away their life.

I do not agree with volunteering or finding new activities to stay busy - because that too is just throwing one's life away in order to escape being lonely or alone.

This evil world is not a friendly place, and most people do not have real friends, a most friends are just activity partners or friends by circumstance.

My view is that this is a time to connect with God, and it is God who made this happen to get our attention, and God never leaves our side, and those people who jump into any activity to avoid being alone are really just running away from God.

Ot's defintely a good time to get to know God of the bible.

Also it's a great time to try new things, work on self improvement, love yourself. Really it's a time to do whatever you want! It's a great opportunity you are not locked in a box of someone's elses ecpectation of you which means you csn grow, develop yourself, and be who you are or want to be!
But I agree, to not be lonely w that gaping hole inside, God is the only one who can truly fill that hole.

I get lonely and sad around the holidays which are about now. Both my husband and I have family, but they are not the ideal and even though my brother and his family would love to see us on Thanksgiving/chiristmas I just can't put up with his creepy wife who has never been a good person who just cares about herself. It goes on and on with the dysfunction in my family. My husband's family is not much better with so many complications. We have tried in the past and it worked out for a little while but only a couple of years and Mom and Dad have passed away. WE will have Christmas with our neightbors/friends this year and I hope it goes okay because I don't really know most of their family who will be present, but it's better than being alone or going to my brother's and just getting angry and hurt again because he is so strange and self centered even though he claims to love me so much! I hope and pray it works out. I try so hard to enjoy Christmas as it used to be my favorite holiday at least as a child and young adult.
