I feel alone or lonely all the time?
Even though you are not alone, it is very possible to feel lonely. That's because there is a huge difference between being alone and being lonely. You feel lonely because you don't feel that those around you can truly relate to your own life experiences. How can they though? They have not lived your life. So, its really easy to feel isolated, or disconnected, even though you may be constantly surround by people who love you. These people they do love you...you need to allow them the chance to relate to you by opening your self to those you trust (and i very much recommend that the only people you open yourself to completely is your family - they are the only ones who are guaranteed not to hurt you intentionally) Even though that may be hugely difficult, it really is the only way that they will have a chance to understand you and your perspectives on things...which in turn will help you to not feel so isolated and lonely. What you are feeling and going through is not totally uncommon...and it will take a lot of trust on your part to open yourself up enough to let those around you in more. If you can do it, awesome. If not, then I think that there will always be some amount of isolation felt... take care.
So, I am spending Thanksgiving alone. I really feel like no one cares about me. How about you?
you matter more than you think. Maybe right now you feel unwanted and like no one cares about you, but deep down you know that there is at least one person in the world who cares about you! Don’t believe the lies you hear that you’re not good enough, lovable, or valuable. Instead, believe in the love of God who created you and loves you more than you’ll ever know. When you feel like no one cares, simply look up. Take a deep breath. Open your heart and spirit to receive the love, power, and grace of Jesus. He is here right now, and He has never left you. Nor will He ever leave you! Soak up God’s love, for it is deep, eternal, and constantly available to you.
What if I don't really like being alone and I'm single? What should I do?
Make an online dating profile as a joke … Fill it out seriously. Have no expectations and watch and see if you meet someone with the same things you want. If it goes well - great, see where it goes. If its disappointing go out and meet new people with the focus on friendships. It will solve the feeling of being alone. Also, leave the house and spend time with people in the company that you enjoy.That has worked well for me. It also helps to have a job where you can pay for fun activities you really wish to do…(Really recent life experience - Good luck :) )
I don't want to live anymore. I feel alone and useless. I don't want my family to suffer for me either. What can I do?
Dear Ariel,You do not need to explain.I know this feeling well. I spent 3 years in very deep depression and wanted to die every day. I tried committing suicide once but failed. I felt useless and worthless and totally alone. I still remember what it was like. I know the bottomless pit. I also know how to get out of it and to dissolve the depression once and for all.I strongly recommend you go to my blog at lifesanswers.org and read everything there about depression and how to get rid of it. Do all the practices and suggestions listed there. Do that starting today.Having said that. A couple things that are very important….First, if you die in depression, in the darkness, it will follow you. There is no relief in death. It will actually feel worse and even more real. Plus you will add guilt to the mix. So suicide is really not a good option.Second, you can get rid of the depression and the feelings of uselessness if you commit yourself to it. It will take work on your part by you can do it. You are not alone. There are people who care about you and you should make them a part of your support system.Third, you need to find a good therapist who has experience with depression. Make that person a part of your support system as well.I tell you these things from my experience and the experience of hundreds of other people I have worked with and helped.You can get out of this dark pit, this pain that never seems to end. You can do it. The darkness is lying to you.Remember, you are not alone and you are not worthless no matter what that inner dialog tells you.Take careJon
I feel lonely being single and I hate it!! HELP?
Most of the time, I'm not like this and I usually don't care if I have a boyfriend or not, but lately, I've been feeling really lonely. I don't know why, but I just am. I've never been in a serious relationship, and I want the feeling of being with that special someone. Does anyone else feel like this? :( I don't want to be desperate, so how can I get rid of this feeling??
Spiritually speaking, do you enjoy being alone?
aloneness becomes your mirror, the perfect mirror, to see who you really are.
Is being alone bad? I really want friends and sometimes I don't.
Nothing wrong with being alone...prisoners in prison..must face this prospect when they are alone in their cells..meditation..means being alone and finding fulfillment inside of yourself...if you can rely on that...then this world won't let you down...because you are not looking to it for answers...say..in the next iPhone...or the next blockbuster movie...or a girlfriend yes even a girl or boyfriend...all these external ways to make you somehow feel whole...go away...just as quickly as they come into your life...So yes...have friends...when and if you want them...and be without them..you can even be/live without a lot of the stuff this world is offering...for a price..you no doubt have noticed...There is a lot to finding out what being alone means...have you noticed it can be quite fulfilling..thats a good thing..to experience yourself without any external focus...that is what we are here for...to enjoy the life we have been given and to be grateful for it...Your inner life...the power that keeps you alive...thru contemplation...you discover this and being alone is part of that...'seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and everything else will be added to you'...Jesus as a quote...'The kingdom of heaven lays within you'...dont go seeking it here or over there....Regardless; friends or no friends...or part time friends...you decide...when you feel like company...no guilt there!
