Mistaken Identity Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I was just wondering how it is that there are so many lonely people when there are so many ways to communucate (meet people) nowadays.
SeraBella Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I think a lot of it is more people meeting the wrong people, not so much that people aren't actually meeting people. A lot of people are desperately searching for something to fill that void, taking the first thing they find, and then either that doesn't work out and they are back to being alone again, or they discover it's not the right thing and they are lonely even when they have someone. I think that the more times something doesn't work out, the lonelier you become...more and more feelings of rejection, feeling like you'll never find someone, etc. And, yes, there are lots of ways to meet people, but some of those ways don't really bring out the best type of people. It's like they are quick ways but not necessarily the right thing. A friend and I were talking about this yesterday. She works with a woman who is extremely lonely and is always meeting new men from the internet. Not necessarily each week, but 2-4 a month. She sleeps with them right away, and then usually doesn't see them again. Some of them she'll hear from once in a while if they are looking to hook up, but no one ever calls her for more than that. After each guy she feels even more lonely than before. So, in that case, it's not that she isn't meeting people. She just is not putting herself in the best situations, and making herself feel worse each time.
mistie03 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 I date one jerk right after another. I think that I am the one with issues because I am repeating it over and over. I am ready to change that. I am going to just hang out with friends and NOT date for awhile. I just broke up with a guy after almost 8 years. I need a break to work on me.
EYECANDY000 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Great question, yet Im clueless!!!! Seems like people who are lonely miss someone being around and having someone to be with, but dont want eveything else that comes with the realtionship like compromise, sacrifice, dedication, honesty, etc
