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.

There is little to compete with the feeling of being ignored or at least seeming to be,, maybe I am just thin skinned ...or my emotional craving for communication is leaking again,,, better than an ammonia leak on the space station !!!.. It is not just here but seemingly in social media generally or maybe it is my body odor trans mutated through the internet ,,, in truth I have not been 100% either ... but it bugs the shit out of me sometimes,,,

I wouldn't categorize then as resentments ..a person can be responsive or not responsive ,,, it just seems less than helpful when people say one thing and do something completely counter, I suppose I do the same thing occasionally but I keep it to a minimum and usually with good or reasoned cause,,

.. and I did not leak those reports to the Justice department,,

I read an awesome piece of writing a while ago when wondering (and googling) the same thing, someone going through all the reasons why people do not respond to messages (concluding that they must be dead, right, that's it, your friend is definitely dead). Being facetious of course. Take away message is, people do often as not Not reply to communications, it's very annoying, but chances are seriously good we don't need to take it personally...I keep telling myself that anyway ;-)

mycroft I think your venturing into what is called Integrity....where people do what they say they will do....not lie and say something they know they have no intention of following up on....

There is this person ,,not on this site ,, but I made her acquaintance and at first it seemed cordial enough ,, so I upped the ante a bit and she came back with conditional demands and totally misreading of things that I said to her,,,, I am tired of this having to justify myself to every person I want to say hello to and connect with ,, so I flushed her,,
which is a good thing ,,,I am learning to let go more rapidly nowadays.

If I make it to this Saturday without a Facebook chat, that will be 7 weeks since any of my 'friends' responded to my messages with anything more than 'I'm fine, but I'm busy so I'l ttyl" (if they respond at all.)

I'm hoping things will go better now that school is letting out - 3 of my friends had kids graduating & I knew they were really busy.

But I definitely know how you feel. Especially since my husband chats with people daily....
