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 really lonely. I've thought of doing a couple of crazy things for awhile. But now I'm narrowing it down to just being that which I ought to be, which would be crazy in itself. I was raised by a mother who seems to be very much personality disordered . I don't talk with her now and am much happier that way. Anyway I want to laugh and the like. And just be ME. Hard to do that on my own all the time. There is a long story there I don't want to get into on this forum. I am just a bit tired of ho hum living and am looking for a happier alternative. And no. I'm not attempting to use the forum to find a date. That is not my style. Just that I'm lonely. That is all. Thanks for reading.

well I am sure part of the problem is your in middle of winter up in Canada....that is when people stay in their homes with their wife or children or their boyfriends or husbands....

I know there probably are meetup.com groups up there to look into and as AnnetteAZ would say try volunteering and also getting a hobby that can involve other people....hugs bill

sorry your so lonely....you are already on my friends list so send me a hug and I will reciprocate....hugs bill

Bill, I am from Canada, not everyone stays in their homes during the winter. They are many winter activities that we enjoy as singles, groups and families.

Middleman, sorry you are so lonely, do you get out much. I live in and around small towns, there is always something to do. Volunteering is always a great way to meet people. Hugs!

Hi! All of us relate to your loneliness. There is a great group called "Kindredspirits" here on DS. You can get more involved and meet more friends in a great environment while establishing friendship outside your home. Good luck to you

http://www.meetup.com has been a Godsend for me as it forces me to go out of my comfort zone. So far I've been to quite a few Meetups in Belfast and one in Dublin.

Have you thought about volunteering somewhere that you would enjoy? I volunteered at a Thrift Store for 3 years and got a lot of things really cheap, such as most of my clothes! I also volunteered at the San Diego Humane Society and it ended up turning into a job. So many possibilities.

I too am looking for some kind of friend. Been to other places but doesn't work out. People come and go. Seem like they want to be a friend, then the disappear.

Hope you can find some friends here.

I have been on DS for many years and there are a lot of people too who have been here for a long time. Some of the people I care about the most, I found here. Did everyone find the kindridspirits group? It's a wonderful group, I love it. And lostlife 65, I left you a message on that site but I don't think you have been back to see it.

I saw it gramybear, thank you. I sent that song to someone I know who is lonely and depressed. It made her feel good.

thanks again.

I am very lonely, also seeking friends, and just looking for someone to talk to that can also make me laugh and happier. I am not just looing for someone to talk only about my problems.

Howerver, I did put what my loneliness and real problems are in my profile. If you are interested in being my friend, read my profile, then decide. If then, you still care, that is wonderful to me! I hope we can become friends and lift each other up, everyday.

You can also talk to me about anything you want.

For all who posted on this thread that they are lonely and looking for a friend and someone to talk to...I too feel the same. Thus, feel free to send me a message if you ever need someone to talk too.
