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...

too late?

I fear that its too late in my life to change things for myself. That this loneliness and the things I once dreamed of are going to be as they are.
I often wonder what happen to me. Why did I let people in my life take that person away. I feel like I take two steps forward and then get knocked back four.
I feel like I have so wasted the life that God gave me. And I have dissapointed Him as well as myself.
Guess I am having a self pity-party here. sorry friends--was just wondering if anyone else ever feel like this.
Hugs to you all :)

I feel the same way about myself as you do. Just as I start to move forward doing something for me, I get criticized for doing it. I feel as if I took to long in life to do something for me and am nothing but a disappointment. I have those daily pity parties too. And it has gotten worse since I found out my husband was having a sexting affair with some woman he works with. He claims it was nothing to him because she is ugly and disgusting and that they are friends doing it to be funny. I do not believe him. We have always had a rough relationship and have had to work hard to get past all the obstacles. I do not know if I can emotionally get through it. I am very lonely and only have a few close friends. But the shame doesn't allow me to tell them of this betrayal, which has caused me to be even more lonely. I'm sure in time we can get past these feelings. Do not feel you have wasted your life. Remain positive and know that things will turn out for you. It may just takes time to get back to your former self.

Take care!!!

Yes....!!!! I feel that way almost daily! I lost two sons due to a molestation disclosure from my daughter back in October by my oldest boy. My middle one left because he doesn't believe her. I also lost twin grandchildren in the process. I have been living a lie all my adult life. I am a single mom and was married to a psycho (no kids, thank God). So now, I don't trust my judgement with ANYONE. Kids....Men....
I'm just spinning my wheels and getting nowhere.
Thanks for letting me have my pity party too.
Sorry...I'm with you.....but we can get through this....one day at a time.....

puglet, it is never too late to change your life. Never. If you want those dreams to come true, then you can make them happen. And you won't be lonely forever either. With a lot of patience, the right people will walk into your life when you least expect it! You have not wasted the life that God gave you. He loves you no matter what you have done, and he is there for you always. And God IS NOT disappointed in you, not at all.. If you need to have a pity party, then by all means, have one. Just make sure to get back up on your feet when it's over. The way you feel is the way many of us feel that are lonely, depressed, stressed, whatever the problem may be. If you let people take away the life you have always dreamed about, it's never, I mean never, too late to regain it. Those people are hopefully gone from your life because they are nothing but toxic, and now it's time for a good cleansing. Do you mind if I share some of my favorite quotes with you? They sure help me when I need them.
Lots of hugs GB

1. Maybe you have to know the darkness before you know the light.

2. Winners are not those who never fail,
but those who never quit.

3. When life give you more than you can stand;
kneel.

4. You will never see all the awesome things ahead of you,
if you keep looking at the bad things behind you.
