Why Am I Starting to Hate Living Alone?
I have been living all alone for two years now. I'm 33, and although I have lived on my own for many years before that now all of a sudden I find myself feeling very lonely. I hang out at least twice a week with friends. I'm involved in social networking but it still just kills me to be home alone. To not have a decent in man in my life. I have men who call me but they're all jerks and want nothing other than sex from me. I'm extremely depressed and find myself drinking vodka and crying everyday. Even the nights after come home from hanging out with friends, I'm crying myself to sleep. Why am I so desperate for companionship that I'm willing to shack up with the first available guy that comes along? Why all of a sudden does living alone have me feeling depressed and like I just want to give up?
Why am I the loneliest person in the world?
Hey Bill... =] I don't know what to say really.. except that I've been in your shoes. And I still sometimes go through the loneliness. Though it is not as hard as it used to be, it is hard to be alone. I don't know it just kills me when I'm the only one in campus listening to music alone while everyone are grouped together and stuff like that.. if you would like to talk, you can contact me.. I want you to talk to me ;-) I could use a friend myself. so I will be waiting for an email okay? I'm adding you as well =]
Am I the loneliest person in the world?
I have been on my own all my life (suicidal mother, father who was too busy, and two sisters who contantly told me to go away...) My very ill mother, after neglecting and abusing me, mother moved out on me when I was sixteen... I never learned the social skills of getting along. I live my life by trying to be good and kind, and would do whatever I could to help another if I am capable. I have been through so much, the worst of which was the loss of my precious baby boy to Sids, but the rest would take so long. I have always remained kind and trusting in spite of the not so nice things people have done to me. I don't own a cell phone or wear the latest fashions, I care about the world and thrive on learning. I have been told I am beautiful, compassionate, easy to talk to, etc. and yet I am so very lonely completely alone in the world. Apparently I am really missing the one thing it takes to be uh, hm, not be lonely.
I've never been this lonely in my whole life, why?
i know how you feel i have moved around all my i grew up in belfast moved to England when i was 18 then moved 4 times while in england and every time i felt loneliness at the beginning.you need to realise you are in different part of the country and things will be alien to you if you want to meet other people if you have hobbies join clubs with people with similar interests maybe your uni has a student bar or a bar they use nearby try to get out and meet people that way or if you have time take a part time job so your not on your own ask yourself if you find it hard for other people to get on with you its only been 6 months but it will come. does your bf live a long way from you when he comes to see you get him to take you to the local student haunts. as for your dad i think he is doing what most worried parents do when their kids leave home for the first not only that if your dad has been to college he thinks he has an idea what happens and that it is one alcohol/drug fueled party set him straight. as for telling your parents about a bf there are somethings parents dont need to know and i speak as parent if your mature enough to leave home to go to uni thats all they need to know the bf issue can come later when you have settled and you comfortable with your studies i am sure this a scary time of your life and you need to tell your dad how things are what is it you think he is going to do he cant send you to your room any more life looks bleak at the moment but i bet within a few months you will remember the msg you posted and laugh..... good luck
Im 15, depressed, gay, lonely and im afriad to get close to anyone..help?
I wish I could be there for you, just as I wish someone were there for me when I went through this. I know how alone you feel, I know that sometimes you begin crying without a reason, I know that you're afraid of everything and everyone, afraid of getting hurt. But that's life, kido. It's messy and sometimes it sucks and it feels lonely, but it's goddamn wonderful. You don't need therapy; you don't need antidepressants. You're not depressed. You just haven't met the beauty of this world. One day -maybe tomorrow, maybe in a year, maybe in 10 years, maybe never- you'll wake up and you'll be happy; yourself, loved and surrounded by colors and miracles. And yes, that day may never come. You might not be patient enough to see that day rising. You might think about killing yourself. But you know better than me, you know better than anyone here that you are filled with potential, that not all people are cruel, that there is a place for you in this world, that you can be loved for exactly the way you are, that one day you'll appreciate the smallest of things and the sky will have the most beautiful colors. You're not alone and when you feel like you are, remember that there are other people like you out there, just waiting for someone to hold them through the night, to cook pasta for them, to sit next to them in the movies. And you know what? Someone is out there for you too. Be patient. Sometimes the best things take the longest of times.
