cdt76 Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 I'm about to lose it. I can't deal with this much more. I'm so lonely. I don't know what to do anymore.
Username37 Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 You're not the only one who feels alone right now. We got to be strong. We can't let our exes win. (geez sounds like we're at war haha)
Feelin Frisky Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 I'm lonely too. I wish society wasn't so limited in terms of social options. We basically come from a world where once people had two choices, church or saloons--sin or repentance. Things really haven't changed that much. I don't want to go to church and I don't want to hole up in a saloon. I guess this is why we're here but it's a small life-preserver in a violent ocean. Hang in there and don't do anything rash. Perhaps you are clinically depressed and could greatly benefit from professional help. It won't give you someone to fulfill your loneliness but it could help you to not dwell on the negative and therefore help get you motivated to get out more or w/e. Good luck buddy.
Lost Fish Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 cdt, it's ok. Recognize that right now, THIS moment, that you are lonely. OK. Now know that you aren't alone. There are a lot of us out there right now feeling the exact same feeling. Try to look closer at why you are feeling so lonely. I have a friend who is the opposite of me and constantly flits from one relationship to the next - and he once confided in me that he is quite alone and sometimes even has envy toward my ability to be so calm and ok with myself in my solitude. Start trying to love yourself. It may sound hokey, but when you can do that, you can more easily accept a late night alone. It will get better. Stay strong. Be good to yourself. Do something good for yourself. Seriously. Right now. Do 20 push ups. Write a haiku. Donate 5 bucks to an online charity. You are you, and you are alright.
xpaperxcutx Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 We're were born alone, and we'll all probably die alone. The only difference is that before we die, we can at least make the most of our lives. What do you want to do and what can you do? Stop wallowing!!!!
soheartbroken Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Good advice from Lost Fish. Lot's of us are lonely; it's totally natural to feel this way.
Eeyore79 Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I often feel lonely too. I find that it helps to get out and about with friends, or if you're short on friends then join some sort of social activity. I don't have loads of friends, so I started going to salsa dance classes and I joined a sports club. I like seeing the same faces every week and talking to them, and I like knowing that I'm going to my class on this particular day and those people will be there. It was hard to begin with, because I was depressed and rarely went out, and it was tough because I turned up at those classes knowing nobody... but now I've gotten to know people and really look forward to being in that social group a few times a week. It really cheers me up a lot, and makes me feel less lonely.
