Are you lonely?

[Zaynaldeen]

The only time I'm not lonely is when I'm playing some video games with my friend, that's pretty much it. In reality, I've been lonely my entire life up to the point that I avoid people at all costs. I cannot trust people anymore, not after it has been broken countless times.

Yeah. I know this feeling too. My best friend is the closest thing I've got to not feeling lonely, but he's got his own life and I just don't spend much time with him anymore.

I'm in the same situation.

I am quite lonely and have been that way since I was a child. Despite my efforts, varied as they have been, I have remained that way. Something about me is, if not off-putting, unlikely to leave me as the kind of person anyone would think of or care about to an extent that I would notice. Anniversaries, birthdays of their children, preferred ice cream, favored music, remembering these and acting on them hasn't helped a whit.

I can only assume I am a throw-away person, garbage to be eventually collected, and I'm the last person to let go of this little bit of trash.

I have a friend over seas but that's it. I'm alone and I'm going to die that way

I'm so lonely I've even considered sleeping with a guy, with no real emotion, just like a Grindr thing. Even though I'm straight. But I keep telling myself, it's not worth it, because I want to believe in an afterlife.
So I don't want to soil my memories of this one with my final things being an unfortunate sexual experience.
I just want to CTB already but a lack of suitable options and other things are holding me back, but hopefully not for much longer at all. But then I rely too much on wishful thinking. Damn..
I just feel so alone, and want it to be over

I am lonely but it's self induced cause I always isolate myself

 

[torturedbylife]

Drink,play games or imagine i'm loved and have friends in my head. but sometimes not even these help. that's when i breakdown.

 

[SpareWheel]

If I said no I'd be lying. Quarantine just makes it worse.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Yes. This social distancing thing doesn't make it better. I don't mind being alone, but the feeling of loneliness is pulling me to the downward spiral.... Again.

I am beyond lonely. I'm so used to it I have to push people away cause it's too painful now to let anyone in. Not that many try anymore anyway so mission accomplished I suppose

I've been lonely for as long as I can remember, which is why the isolation from lockdown hasn't shocked me as much as it has others. I only came to terms with it last year. Every year before I only thought it was normal.

It is torture and agony. My biggest hugs to anyone else who feels the same.

 

[a.n.kirillov]

I am, but I view it as my fate. Many of the greatest thinkers and artists of the past have been isolated or felt alienated from other people and I take solace in their writings/ art.

But, being a human animal, it has negative effects on me, as it would have on everyone – and thus far, I have not reaped the fruits of my solitude, and maybe never will.

Solitude and isolation give me a sense of freedom, they are a blessing and a curse.

I am lonely. Through the span of my life I have lost more and more people and those relationships have not been replaced. I accept it as my fate, though it still saddens me greatly. It's not like I didn't make an effort either, I always tried really hard to take part in things. I may be an introvert but I'm also naturally gregarious. I sometimes feel like I'm a different species.

Indeed. Still having a complete family yet I don't feel close to any of them. I love my father since he's really kind & more supportive, but I still feel we're note having a close father-and-son relationship.

I have some friends but due to having bad personalities and betrayed twice, it's hard for me to be vulnerable and getting close to them.

Girlfriend? I barely having a relationship (and only lasts around 27 days) and my love life is basically one-sided.

 

[GoBack]

I'm so lonely it's terrifying. I used to be independent so was never really lonely. Since becoming dependant it's more lonely. Don't know how that works but there it is

 

[Green Destiny]

Very.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

Extremely.

 

[serah]

I think my loneliness is what makes me want to end it all. It fucking hurts so much.
