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...

The reason

It so funny how a lot of people have had the misconception that I do not care and fail to see the reason for my loliness. I hide from others not to burden them from my problems and not to be hurt myself. It is funny how completely opposite I am from this inside and I see so many others here struggling to the point they get tired of fighting themselves and the battle inside their own minds. The reason for my loliness rest in myself and to fix this I must not trap myself :-). I just find I have to have a strong mindset to make it in this life even when to power of being alone overwhelms. It saddened me to know a friend on here would choose to leave her friends behind and not give an update. It hurt a lot even if I understood the pain and reason. I guess it just goes to show.....the reason for our loliness is because we are too busy protecting ourselves:-). Live laugh love everyone and best wishes to all:-)

This was suppose to be my journal but decided to post here.

Hi Charlie.
I guess we are all so unique, and so are all of our circumstances, and so it can all get a bit complicated.
My loneliness comes from having no family to spend time with.
Living alone and without positive affirmation,love,support,encouragement and affection etc, can break a person's heart.
Especially if this has been happening for a long time.
Always knowing that your toxic family doesn't really want you, and only causes you harm, can also break your spirit after a lifetime of enduring this treatment.
Then at Christmas time when it is all about getting together with 'family' or not being able to have a family to get together with,the emotional pain can be overwhelming.
My God helps me to cope, but with the health issues on top of the rest of it, I feel angry at being family less for Christmas.
I just think that loneliness is not only a state of mind but a physical reality as well.
Thankfully there are groups like DS and some friends and supportive people out there, who do care, which helps us to keep on striving to make it in this life.
Cheers and well wishes to you Charlieqi and have a really great Christmas!!

I am glad to have DS and there are things that lonely people can do at Christmas...as I have heard of them...some lovely places put on a food party where they feed all kinds...homeless, lonely, family with no $$ all...I think I would break if I did not have someone at this special time of year...and am EXTREMELY thankful I do have someone in a mom and family....we get along and we struggle together...many issues within my family but to day I have just one who considers me to be toxic...and she will not be here that I know of for Christmas....everyone else will be except the brother in law who died last Saturday by his own hands....suicide is so sudden and so sad and I saw your reference...I will let you know that the person you mention is still with us living in her lonely world and personally might love to have a hug from you who cared enough to write about her desperation the other day here....hugs bill

Meeeeerrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy Chistmas!!!
