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...

Please Be Careful Lonely Ladies.....

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend or at least tried to :). I just wanted to tell the ladies of this group to be careful with who they have discussions and email conversations with. I've had some issues with some men on this site that email me and end up being inappropriate. I have contacted the site and I do plan to contact the site owners as well about this because it has happened more than once. Some of the men on this site will seek out lonely and vulnerable females and email them trying to be friendly at first, or so they seem. After a few emails, they might get a bit possessive and somewhat controlling over the things you might tell them you are struggling with. One guy convinced me to use an outside chat service so that we could chat about our issues, then he ended up harassing me about sending him pictures of me, which of course I never sent. Another sicko pretended like he cared about my feelings but then became controlling and made comments on what I should and should not be doing with my ex, which of course is none of his damn business.


So I just wanted to warn other women to be careful. We are lonely and going through whatever may trouble us, so please know that there are predators and mentally deranged people that will try to take advantage of that. I find it sick and unnecessary. This is NOT a dating or sex website; I think DailyStrength needs to do better to make that clear. People come here for support and comfort, not to be judged or made to feel guilty over their life choices. I just find it sad that there are so many evil people out here that will stop at nothing to bring others down. I thought that this was a supportive community, but I guess not. It's very difficult finding any support these days, sickening even. The minute you say something that someone does not like or makes them uncomfortable, they think it is okay to attack you, and when you bite back, they want to play victim. No, not with me, not today!


I hope that everyone has a great week, and hang in there, it all gets better with time :).


God bless.

Same thing happened to me about two years ago. There's a guy on here, profile is Wilson, don't know if it's still active.
He slowly tried to get money out of me. Of course I'm not that stupid. Ladies, beware!

WOW, just WOW! Thank you everyone for your comments. I am in the process of contacting the site owners. I contacted DailyStrength but all they did was thank me for reporting the behavior. I don't expect them to do anything. If it continues, the next person that emails me will be reported to the cops. I'm done with these sickos. This site needs to be shut down if they cannot do better to protect members from these predators. If DailyStrength wants to become a dating or hookup site, cool, but if they want to continue as a support website, then they need to do better, I am seriously thinking of ending my membership here, I have no more time for this foolishness, If I wanted to get laid, I certainly would not need the Internet to do it and I certainly have no interest in these old gross men that keep contacting me. Disgusting. Stay safe everyone. XOXO


P.S. Just don't respond to anyone that emails you from within the site. Immediately hit the "Ignore" option. If someone has something to say to you, they can do it from within a discussion in the group. I no longer answer emails from men or women on here. I've gotten them from women as well who end up being very mean spirited and phony.

This can go both ways...it;s not just men harassing women...but women can be harassing men...women can be harassing women...men harassing men...etc. I think the big point is to be careful communication with ANYONE online...regardless of their gender,

@Getfuzzy, I am aware that men experience harassment too. However, we all know that women experience sexual harassment, rape, and domestic violence the most, even though men go through it too. I was just bringing light to harassment because I know that I am not the only woman this has happened to. I have contacted DailyStrength and Sharecare about the issue. I don't see them doing anything of course or them giving a damn. But at least I was brave enough to say something. I just get sick of predators disguising themselves as normal people when all they want to do is cause emotional or physical harm to someone. I find it sick and very disturbing. I no longer respond to emails from within this site, and I suggest others do the same. If I wanted to screw or date someone, I wouldn't need to look online to find that. You can find a desperate horny bum on any random corner anywhere in the world. I just wish sickos would leave people alone. Makes no sense for anyone to be harassed, especially when they have done nothing wrong.

Have a good weekend and God bless.

I have had this problem on here as well. This is not a dating site. A friend finding site maybe, but not for finding gfs or bfs.
Then again with people who have mental health problems, they tend to have unhealthy attachment issues. They get obsessed with anyone or anything that distracts them or gives them gratification for even a second.

@Ghostwolf, good points. However, don't mentally ill people know that there are websites or phone apps where they can hookup with someone if they want a date or some sex??? Nothing wrong with that, but this is not the site for that. I no longer answer emails on here from anyone, it just got to be too much. I was thinking that I'm opening up to someone and then the person becomes controlling or gets unnecessarily rude for no reason. I think it's best to just post how you feel in your specific group on here, but don't answer emails or chat with anyone using another platform away from the site. I just thing DailyStrength needs to do better. If these people are really suffering mentally, I just hope they get some outside help from somewhere but we all know what a mess this country is with mental health. Most people will not get help on their own, they don't get help until they try to harm themselves or someone else, if then. Sad times we live in.
