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'm 54 and twice divorced. I had friends but they were all one sided relationships. I had to do all the reaching out. All of it all the time. They never did any of it. In fact I recently stopped reaching out altogether and haven't heard from anyone in months and likely won't. Even if I did now I probably wouldn't respond. I've tried several forums online and a couple different social media outlets but nobody is interested in being friends. The majority of the online interactions I've had just involved personal attacks and people being hurtful just because they can. Right now the only people in my life who bother with me are my parents. Even my own brother won't communicate with me. I am angry and hurt and just extremely sad. I don't understand what is wrong with people that they can't be bothered with friendship with me. Maybe I'm not shallow enough or something I don't know. But I've grown tired of all the effort it takes just to find someone and then have them not even wanna make the effort or they misunderstand something and get mad at you and then that's it. They're done with you.
I don't know anyone in this town I had to move to. And the people here aren't very nice anyway so meeting new people and making friends has pretty much been impossible. So it's just me. 24/7. 365 days a yr. For the past 4 yrs. And now this pandemic. *Sighs*
Anyway...that's it for now.
Theses are strange times. Reminds me of my fathers stories about the Great Depression.
I still get to go to work. I like to cook and write short stories.
I am holding a ray of warmth in my hand, warming it and sending it your way.

Julie I'm sorry you lost your sight in one eye. That must be difficult.
I don't know if it's just the times we live in or what. But life is too busy and too stressful and I think it interferes with peoples downtime. It just hurts when we care about them and find out they could care less about us.
Glad I'm here. {{Warm hugs to all}}
I am learning to cope with it. Thank you.
its easier to have friendships with people who share our own common interest, but some times the things we like tend to be solo activities.
the digital world is slowly destroying the human interaction, I personally will be glad when the this stupid covid is over.
I am going to have to learn how to be more friendly and donate my time to the church and its activities, which i will be healthy for me and my life.
I still reach out to my friends and family even if they dont respond, because I know I can not allow myself to shut down.
I do find it hard to stay in the season of giving. but i must keep it up
I pray you are able to find others to interact with as well in the real.
