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 don't know why I feel the way I feel sometimes. I feel like I'm wired different, I think differently than other people and have different likes and tastes and most of the people around me don't fully relate to me. And I'm an introvert and usually don't mind being alone and actually prefer it, but some days like today I spiral. I want friends, and if I posted this on my social media I would have several people comment about how much they love me and are there for me and consider me a friend. But the reality is none of them regularly text or talk to me or plan things with me, and if I'm being honest I would probably make excuses not to hang out with anyone bc that's just how I am and I like being at home where I don't have to try. And I have kids and a husband who is my best friend and I love my family and they love me. I don't even know why I'm writing this, I feel whiny. I just sometimes need a girl friend to be there for me. And it's somewhat my own fault for not cultivating those relationships. And I know right now I'm spiraling bc I put myself out there to this one girl just trying to make a connection and gain a friend and got rejected. I don't even know what I'm asking for here, maybe just prayers or to know that I'm not crazy and not alone in how I'm feeling. Hello, anybody?

About 3 am Thursday morning I decided to try a plant based life after watching some random YouTube. My first challenge was going to Qdoba for lunch. I normally order steak and veggie nachos with 3 scoops of spicy queso. Instead I had a rice bowel with veggies and salsa (just not the same).Then I remembered I love going to Baskin Robbins after work for ice cream with a chocolate dipped waffle...
Do you work and have co workers who could be your friends? If not, then doing volunteer work goes a long way towards manifesting personal satisfaction. Helping others, brings rewards and blessings too numerous to mention.
You local humane society or your local food bank are always looking for volunteers to help out. It's a great way to make friends as well.
Do you have a hobby or something to do in your free time? There is an old saying...."Idle time is the playgound of the devil" Most lonely people are just lacking in self love.....Having something to do to pour your passion into like learning to play an instrument or going to the local gym, are great ways to build self esteem and find the love within us. I pick up up my guitar and start strumming it and my dog runs under the bed blankets! ...so funny!
There are lots of things you can do to generate love within you and when you do that, you become like a magnet and attract others to you..
Good luck
Fifty7relic thank you. I really think I just needed to hear that I'm not crazy and other people can relate. And your owl picture made my day, owls were one of my sister's favorite things (she passed away a few years ago)
I make friends easily and fast, but true friendship sometimes eludes me. I usually dont notice or pay attention to my real best friends until sometimes its too late, I lost my best friend a month ago. It still angers me. I lost my best friend of 27 years 8 years ago on the same day.
I did not realize he was my best friend until he was gone.
When I form a bound with someone we just click and like and do the same things. Support each other and look for ways to make each other be the best version of ourselves naturally.
True bounds form naturally, in my believe. we can force them.
I have many guys friends, and i attempt to limit my female friends due to my addiction.
i am currently without a best friend, which for me is depressing, but I know that it takes time and I must be patient, and be mindful to reach out to my guys friends to just let them know that someone else though about them in a human way.
You are not alone. It can be really challenging to manage family and home responsibilities and maintain other friendships. My mom felt the same way at times, wishing for that friend but not really feeling that she had time to do much outside of home. Quite honestly, some of my friends I only see a few times a year. We use a video message app to stay in touch with our few extra moments. Sometimes, I text ladies from church as well. Though I don't know many of them too well, we are working on building friendships and support systems. Perhaps reaching out to your local church would be a place to start?
A thing that helps me sometimes when I want to talk to someone and feel alone is to pray, either aloud or with writing thoughts in a journal. Hope that helps!
