Loneliness is never fun.. I'm sorry you feel lonely.I've been thinking about joining some groups that do certain activities that I like such poetry,art etc or just maybe volunteering and meeting like minded people.Maybe that would work for you too? Always here if you need to talk.hugs.

P.S Pepsi is my favorite drink :)

Going through a lot of the same stuff..it has boiled to the surface for me,,and I really do not do well in that place,,,it can really do a major number on your emotions and your thinking ,,,I do not like it either ,,it gets even worse when someone body slams you for trying to break out of that isolating behavior,,,it really sucks sometimes,,

I understand the feelings....same boat..mine is oh so close to being out of gas right now too...depression hits during winter and this one has been really hard but I think it is here and there that I have been able to stay out of that depressed area unless the money issue is causing it then I am flat on my fat ass down in dumps...which will be this weekend....uggg

HI Luckyanjyl--I actually had an ice coffee! I volunteer for a place and I feel like they like me and I've made some acquaintances but no real friends or "buddies". I'll think about the groups--like poetry or hiking or something like that...Thanks for responding! Have a good night! hugs back.

I'm feeling exactly the way you are. It could be worse, but it would be nice to have something a little more in your life right now. We just have to do the best we can with what we've got for the time being.

and the bookstore and a pepsi sound like lovely, relaxing, enjoyable alternatives :)

Hi Suzie. It really saddens me to hear you suffering from this, loneliness is a very lonely and unpleasant feeling.

I move around quite a lot and seek different experiences. But what I think I'm doing sometimes is running away from my loneliness. I am lacking social confidence so find it hard to make good friends quickly.

I like to join gyms and go to group fitness classes, you have to up your odds of meeting like minded people by doing things you love to do. In the process of doing your passions you feel good about yourself and meet other people on the same page.

Once I was feeling sad, lonely, and depressed so I wrote down on a piece of paper 10 things that make me feel really good. I make myself do them when I'm feeling down, it works!

Anyway, good luck with your search, you are certainly not alone.
