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. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
i am # 8 of 8 children. I have 18 nieces and nephews. Ive been playing in bands for 30 years. Know alot of people. Have some close friends. Married and divorced. 4 year relationship with someone after that. Dating someone now.
But istill feel lonely.
Theres something missing somewhere, theres a void created by i dont know what. Its a feeling ive had for a long long time. As a kid, through high school, after a party i always went home alone, after gigs when people were dancing and having a good time, i went home alone. Always had low self esteem. Something happened or didnt happen when i was very young, My little boy inside is lonely and blue. Im not as socially uncomfortable as i used to be, but i remember being terrified, like i had a secret to hide. Just really weird.
I wish for this dragon to show its ugly face.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....
I'm married iwth child and still feel lonely and all those other things you described. Like you said near the ned of your email, I'm also more socially comfortable than before but I still tend to keep to myself at times.
As I get older, I've been trying to make peace with the "void" inside, mainly through meditation. Once I sit still and just live in the present moment, the void seems to disappear and peace comes.
Helping others on here has also alleviated some of that "empty" feeling as well.
I'm sure you're about to see that others on here feel the same way you do!
oh well there is my void....no musical skills... HAHAHA LOL
I hope you have fun here and welcome you to this site I guess your new but not sure....I am semi new...few months here....
To billwfriend- I had a piano too when in jr high but my mom complained about my practicing. I guess she expected me to be a mozart w/o the practice?! So I go discouraged n stopped. I regret it too.
