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...

yeah, I got a bit of relapse lately in the fact I have a few friends who rent from me and they and their cohorts are around. But now they have to leave because the upstairs where they are living is not livable space. So now it's just me and my son in the house. It was nice having more people around after my ex left and now I have to expand my social net again. So I hit anxiety at work because of this.

yeah it's nice just having people around to talk to for no other reason and you don't have to come up with a topic.

jeff I hear ya on this one....yes I agree....I would join meetup.com and find some groups that do things you like to do including perhaps a singles group that is for social events like mine is...I host Singles over 50 in my home town...it is really fun stuff that we try to get people to join and do...next weekend not this weekend we will have 10 people going to baseball game as I bought 14 tickets and put them on the site so others could sit with us...I still have to sell 4 tickets to break even...but hopefully that happens...if not I suppose I might make sign saying I have four tickets...for sale....it is legal here to scalp and the game is sold out...so someone should want the tickets...

how old is your son? if he is older you and him could do things together. I know my son has taken up golf to spend time with his dad and away from video games. Maybe you could invite a friend of his and their dad and do a boys night. Kids are a great way of making friends. That's where all but one of my friends has come from.

Getting a pet is a great idea. And having us here on DS who care and are ready to support you whenever possible, is helpful, I hope. You have something wonderful to look forward to with moving closer to your family. Think of the positive and do your best to stop the negative thoughts. You have so much to look forward to. Hugs GB

well he's heavy into his computer games which I don't share the same interests with. But we'll be spending more time together now that we will have to do dishes together.

I've gotten together with some people from the meetup groups for movies. I've done rather well forming my own friendship niche.

It's great that you got that singles thing together Bill. Hosting any chat rooms in the future?

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
