i am lonely because i have hardly any friends, im on disability so i have no job or anywhere to go to. also im poor so im limited to what things i can do but the biggest reson is because i isolate due to the fact that the world has not been kind to me in this life and im tired of being hurt by bad people and bad situations. also because im an empath and that is one of the traits of being so.

Lonelyness mostly comes from not being able to be involved with others-due to health-due to fear-due to whatever reason..so we may have to force ourselves to get involved...in one way or another we have to tip toe out there and be in our own world if need be-but be around others doing things we like to do and someone may approach you or in time you will find yourself reaching out to pthers..

I'm lonely because I am not married, no children, and I feel like my youth and beauty (not trying to be conceited) are being wasted by being single. Family is broken apart, and everything was taken from me, from money to my car being stolen, to my innocence as a child. Everything was taken from me, short of my life. Bad things constantly happen, so I also isolate.

Oops, forgot to add that I have up days and down days. I have to isolate sometimes--or try to--on my high days because I can get uh, dangerously social. Risky behavior and all.

I have never had anyone in my life to count on. I have no friends or family. I live in my car and can't stand to be around people. I have accepted loneliness as a natural way of life for me.

i dont think there is anything natural about being alone. human beings need contact with other humans to survive. alot of people are empaths and need time alone due to the fact they pick up on others emotions and get drained at times but they still need human contact they just have to be careful its not with people with shitty energy. i know for me its easy to hear i should just go out there and do something, i fully get that but i cant just do it. when you have been burned by people beyond any thing you can imagine just because you were a good giving person it fucks you up permanently for life. yes u have to learn better choices , ive done that. but your trust in man kind is something once it has been so broken beyond repair you just have a hard time giving it away to anyone ever again. maybe you would have to go through that first to fully understand. i dont want to be this way but i cant seem to help it no matter what i do or think. and im very aware im only hurting myself. thats why its so frustrating..

Like a lot of others hare replied, I have no friends. On the plus side, I am blessed to have a great boyfriend who means the world to me, two fantastic children and a good (but boring) job. I guess it has been years since I had a friend who I can confide all those hidden things in...I do censor what I share with my boyfriend. Being a recovering addict and alcoholic, its hard to share craving thoughts and all that comes with that.

Loneliness is a chosen path sometimes. People want to be cut off from the world for several reasons. Either they have some illness, shy personality, low self-esteem or they want to be lonely to do something special like excel in studies or some other hobby.

I chose being lonely because I am judged by everyone due to my health issues. They might be nice to me at the beginning, but sooner or later they will get to know how weak I am physically and emotionally. This is seen as a threat as people will bully me, mock me, insult me, disrespect me, take me for granted, use me or threaten me at anytime (telling you from my past experiences). So I just choose to stay lonely to avoid all trouble and I sure am happy in my own world.

I have been told that too-that we are put on this earth to have an companion-but by my choice-I choose to remain loyal to my husband even though he is deceased. But the way I look at it-being afraid to be out and about is fixable-we should find something we are interested in and go out and explore it...even if we don't go out and socialize-in time people with the same interests will socialize with us and we find ourselves opening up to a whole new world and not be afraid so any more.

I'm lonely because I get paranoied a lot. push everybody away because I think that they hate me and are out to get me.

I am lonely because I have always been, my dad abused me and I could never make friends through the shame of it.

fifty years on and I am just making friends now. Most of which are internet friends so I can build trust and my poor social skills may be masked

I am also on disability, have no job or friends and when you are middle aged it can be very stressful. When you can't drive a car due to seizures it is very tough on you. Trying to let the pressure off myself is a task in itself. I am thankful I have this place where I can get feelings out.

"For the first time in my life I really feel lonely. My wife of 12 yrs was arrested on 12/20/13. Leaving me with our 2 boys, 9 and 11 yrs old. They are with me, so I am not entirely alone, but its not the same. I am 57 yrs old and never felt so alone and lost in my life. I cant talk to family, and my sons would not understand. They have enough on their minds trying to adjust. I moved them away cause of the small town problems of everyone knowing everything. They were having trouble in school cause of the other kids saying things about their Mom. Right now all we have is each other, as we are in a new town and state. They will start school next month and make new friends then.

I am so lonely because i do not have any friends.
