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...
Yes, I too am very lonely. I'm 63 and only have 1 brother who was hit by a car and has brain injury. I have always helped others at work and sharing my garden plants and even money. No one really cares about me. I don't matter. Birthdays and Christmas's come and go. People who have someone who cares don't realize how blessed they are. It would be nice to go for a cup of coffee with someone.
I'm in. my early 60's also and have a very small family, and I know exactly how you feel. I am so tired of being alone. As years went on, friendships left. I've made attempts at new friendships, but in this day and age it's just impossible. I live in New York City. You would THINK a city as big as NYC you'd be able to make friends? Are you kidding? I've never seen such a crowded city with so many LONELY people. Unbelievable. I gave up. Now I just live in my loneliness and depression, I tried, extended myself, etc. , gave up.
If you could share your passion for gardening you would interact more with people with that shared interest. Garden clubs, green-thumb societies, botanical gardens, garden stores...start googling and start exploring. The only way, I think, we're going to meet people in the flesh is to get out of the house! Or, if your garden is spectacular have an open-day for people to come and view your garden - make sure you have some security present.
