I feel lonely days when I work from home on Fridays. There are no co-workers at home, of course! I am my own co-worker. I do work for a few hours from the cafe around the corner, which helps. Sometimes I go into the office where there usually are some other people. I don't know how my sister does it. Working from home all day by herself. No problems. Totally focused. I guess we are all cut from a different cloth.

I could never work from home every day. Not only am I not motivated enough, but my work keeps me going, puts me in a good mood. I'm glad you were able to find a way to reduce some of the loneliness by going to the cafe. I still need to figure out how to reduce the loneliness after my work day and on the weekends :/

Hope you have a better day tomorrow, just for the hell of it, check in with me and tell me if it was a better day? I'd like to see if this was just a weird coincidence for you because you sound like a regular person, with a good head on your shoulders. The thing about the co-workers, maybe just ignore them and get a book to read, or find another coworker who could use some cheering up? I don't know, just ideas. For me, I have good days and bad days of loneliness. If I have something planned ahead, like a social outing, I try to look forward to that. I joined a lot of clubs and groups to meet people. Things like that. Do you have any ideas of how to handle what happened today, or to think of other fun outlets for yourself?

Unfortunately it is a daily occurrence for me, but today was just particularly lonely. All my co-workers left without even acknowledging me. I just moved to a new area, so I don't have any plans after work, usually. I would love to get more involved with my community, but not sure how to do so....in regards to handling what happened today...go back in tomorrow and just fight through it, I suppose.

I don't usually feel as lonely in the evenings after work. I cook dinner, clean up. Sometimes I have a roommate. Weekends, though, yes. Fortunately I am in a big city where there are plenty of things to do. Nonetheless, it still takes work and time to build friendships/connections. Ironically, I have been seeing someone amazing and I would have thought I would be excited and giddy, but for some reason, I'm not. Maybe I'm terrified of being in real a relationship, even though it's just the thing I have always always wanted. Maybe it's the slight depression that's been lingering since the winter. Go figure.

I live in a small rural town where there isn't much to do. Arts, yes, but not interested in that too much. And the cities around me are overrun with drugs, so I tend to stay away from them. That's awesome that you are seeing someone amazing! I myself have given up on dating. The rejection makes me feel worthless (and of course lonely). So it's just me and my dog. Real relationships are terrifying, so it's understandable. Unfortunately a lot of hurt comes with them if things don't work out...but if they do? So much happiness. Depression will do that to ya though. Unfortunately my has come and hasn't left. And it's not easy to live with this time around :/

Hi-just wanted to send you a hug!! In a perfect world we could all get together and have a happy pajama party and call each other even at 2 in the morning! Well, I am really struggling with loneliness as well, as I am a divorced mum of a special needs child and cannot go out to socialize at all-as I don't have willing sitters and am broke. I take my son out a lot to do things for him, but my social life is non-existent It is just what it is. I love him, and try to look at it as just a season of life, but it has been happening for a long time now.

In addition -still struggling with depression and anxiety as my biological father who I finally found after many years seems to prefer and be hitting on my younger sister who is not his daughter. So many feelings of utter rejection and extreme disappointment... I was getting to know him for over six months with almost constant contact. I am just bereft, but not panicking as much as I was a few weeks ago. It just feels like betrayal and a knife in may back. :( Tears. Sorry to go on like this, but is there any man who does not make a cute girl his priority even above his own caring daughter? :( I know there are good men out there, but this is how I feel right now!! Such a let down and I feel utterly worthless...(ugh-I guess I am having a pity party! sigh)

Well, did not mean to be a downer...much love to you all!

I think loneliness is more of a feeling than actual state. I work as freelancer all day alone from home . but never feel lonely while at work. I love my work. And I forgot all about time when I am working.
being alone for sometime is not what makes lonely. There is something more, whether the work or the staff or how the people treat u is making u feel lonely. Do not be upset by how other treated u or left u. Its more of their problem.
Go out, meet new people, be kind.there are lot of lonely people out there too. I usually go to busy parks, where sometimes I find someone to talk , or if not I still get refreshed if only i dont have anxiety , I wud never be alone,
