Why is that?

It's just how it is for me. I've always been alone literally all my life despite efforts made to have it be otherwise.

Most people are lonely. It is not easy to have good relationships. People just do not want to talk about it. Find a dating coach to help you.

I know it feels that way right now for you. And you probably have accepted it. But you're life will get better. There's a lot of struggles and hurdles along this hard path you are on right now. Take comfort in knowing your life will improve. Not overnight but it will in small steps. A friendly hug sent your way.

I've been in relationships were guys really loved me. Of course, I botched up all of them. I was my worst enemy. I was frustrated trying to figure out what went wrong, when it was me the whole time. I've accepted it too. Guess I'll be alone and unloved also. You sure are not alone!

I'll never be enough or good enough for anyone unless I settle for someone I don't really wanna be with but even then they won't truly love me either. I don't think I'll ever matter to anyone. Life has been a living hell since I was born and I'm not where or who I thought I'd be in life and there are things I can't change no matter how hard I try.

@Lilly23, never say never. I am currently happily single, even though I struggle each day with loneliness. However, I think the key is to think positive and just focus on things that make you happy and put a smile on your face no matter how small those tings might be. Even though I have failed at relationships for most of my life, I still have hope that there are some good people in the world, maybe 1 or 2 people, but they are out there! LOL! When you stop dwelling on things, maybe then that's when the miracles happen. When I stopped dwelling on the fact that I might never have children from what doctors told me, that's when God worked his miracle and I was blessed with a healthy and beautiful child. I was not even trying to get pregnant! So maybe once you stop dwelling on being alone and lonely, then maybe you will meet a wonderful person that will make you very happy. Even though I've experienced so much heartache and disappointment, I will always believe in love, even if it never finds me, time will tell ;)!

The late and wonderful Luther Vandross said it best:
"Wait for love and you're gonna get your chance to love, wait for love, wait for love........"

That isnt what i personally would accept, you should like yourself. if you don't others won't either. noticed your very private about yourself, if your hiding how can anyone find you? its time to love yourself again, be who you are and people will find you and you dont have to be alone any more

i'll tell you something ladies your lucky i'm here, i'm the oldest and wisest one here, i do very well in relationships, it didnt come over night, when i was young i had trouble to, i was a virgin until i was in my 20's, it wasnt because i wasnt good looking. i'm very easy on the eyes. it was my attitude, i wasnt sure of my self, (Love women) and women could see this, they sensed my desperation, and i didnt like who i was either, so how could they. Back then i was a man,(that sucked) I was looking for woman like you and maria and nicki, i was very lonely to. its seems like you werent where i was looking. you must be out there to be found. love your self and take care how you look, i am use to very long relationships, my first lasted 14+years, my last last 13 years and that one made me a widow.. communication is the most important, never take your loved one for granted, express your love everyday dont attach strings and conditions to your love, and dont collect stamps on your lover, meaning dont get mad and hold it in over and over again, collect a stamp here and there you will have a whole book of them soon then when a disagreement happens and a fight ensues all the stamps come out and the real issue is lost. i'm not an expert on relationships , but i'm very good. it takes finding your part in it when things go bad. its never totally one persons fault. learn from your mistakes and try not to make them again. all of this is very usefull stuff, use it wisely. it took me a lifetime to learn and your getting it for free.told you your lucky i'm here.

I feel your pain. I was with someone I thought was my forever, for 23 years then find out she was cheating on me. Since then I have come to accept (but not like) the fact I will be alone now for the rest of my life

It is hard, but I am slowly staring to realise that despite this, there is no reason to not do exactly what I want, for me and to make me happy. Slowly being the optimal word, but getting there

It hurts to be alone especially when you want to be in a functional romantic relationship.. I recently broke up with a man I was involved with for 6yrs..I think about him every day. But these thoughts have not made me call him. Although I hurt the break up was for the best. Being in a relationship can be a good thing but not if the person does not love or respect your feelings or you. We fought all the time, we would break up, then get back together..back and forth alot.. He stated I was too insecure and jealous. He blamed all of our relationship issues on me..I wanted to do couples therapy because is was my hope that one day we would marry. However he told me that he didn't have a problem and the our relationship issues were my fault.. The last break up which was about a month ago ended with him picking a fight about nonsense then walking out the door. I have not heard from him sense...It hurts but I am starting to realize that he stopped loving me and that he was definitely no longer "in love" with me.. Love should not hurt. Love is patience, love is forgiving, love is respectful, love is caring and most of all love should be unconditional. I am 48 years old...I don't see myself ever finding Mr. Right, so I am too faced with the realistic possibility that I to will be alone for the rest of my life...

Lilly23 yesterday I woke up feeling so lonely and yet my house is filled with voices coming from every room. However the feeling of loneliness was to overwhelming for me and the dark clouds seemed to move in, I turned to a close group of ladies and asked for prayer, and throughout the day I listened to uplifting music and I said out loud to The Lord I know that this is not my truth, and I know that you have got my back. Even though later on there were some trials that headed my way I just stayed focused on The Lord and I felt Loved, and certainly not alone. I don't know if you know God or if your religious but I just wanted to share with you that no matter how lonely you may feel you are never alone. I hope this helps. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
