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...
This is going to kill me some day and I hate it. Totally preventable if just one person, out of 7 billion (?) would just make an minimal effort... Closest I get is someone that will text me, only if I text them first and when they do respond it's usually just a basic, perhaps generic, line. No real invitation to talk and discuss.
Granted, ideally this one person should be real and someone I could head to the bar or do some activity/hobby whatever. But I've been so out of social practice it seems I either piss people off at first impression, they detect that I'm a bit loser, or I'm just stupid boring. Therefore a real friend is likely never going to happen if it hasn't by now.
So that leaves only online and that isn't going well either. FFS, I'd do anything.
I'm just at wits end, and can't take this anymore. It's making all aspects of my pathetic life exponentially worse...
I just wrote a post of a few paragraphs, and I don't know what I did, but it disappeared and another page came up.
I live in chronic pain, which is very isolating because people don't understand how it warps one's personality, aside from being exhausting.
I don't know if I can find my way back here, have a brain injury too, and memory is a problem; so are the many steps on an old SLOW desktop computer, etc.
IF I can get back and find this group, I'd love mutual support, getting to know someone more than "hi, sorry you're alone" kind of thing!
Maybe it's just me (I feel stupid), but I have a hard time making my way around these "disability oriented" websites.
So, I'm very alone, too, and hope to find my way back here. Do people here ever decide to email directly? Is that unsafe somehow? Judgment was knocked for a loop in the MVA in which I got the TBI (brain injury). Sorry for the ramble. Good luck to us all!
I'll send you a direct email through DS which is pretty safe. You probably don't want to share your personal email with strangers or use IM apps that connect you to personal information like facebook messenger or Whatsapp.
I hope you find your way back, when you do I'll explain FFS later. :)
