Discussion Do you feel lonely?

[LonelyPrince]

Everyday i wonder what's the point to keep going when I don't have anyone by my side...and the ones I do have straight up ignored me.
Does anyone feel so lonely that they feel like a hole in their chest?

 

[meatballlover]

I learned the hard way that being lonely is often better

 

[thelostautistic]

I feel lonely all the time

 

[FailedTurtle]

Me too. I find it much worse when I am surrounded by people but ignored and isolated. I wish I could separate myself from society forever so the loneliness feels more peaceful.

Nothing more painful than grabbing ur phone , and wanting to text someone. But u got no one to text.

I pretty much always feel lonely. It's weird though, sometimes it's a suffocating feeling, other times being lonely can feel peaceful.

I don't have anyone and its all my fault. My social skills are nonexistent cause I sat alone in my room for most of my childhood. I want to meet new people but don't know where to start. I told myself that it would get easier after I started college but my social life has gotten even worse since then.

I abandoned my friends. I abandoned those I knew, those I loved, those who motivated me. On my days off, on weekends, the seconds pass slowly, each tinkle like a wave on the sand. I eat, I play, I read a little, I watch. I check my contacts and there's no one there. I look at my friends list and there's no one there. I search for an old photo, and it's gone, because I deleted them. I relive memories and moments of contact and quality time with them. My days pass without anything, I have nothing. I miss having people caring.

same... still wishing for someone in real life

 

[undecidedfool]

I can't fully know how your loneliness feels, because I know I still have people.
But somehow it feels like no one is really there. Like when I talk it just echoes back. I logically know they care, so I don't understand why I feel like this. Maybe it's a weird part of mental illness or something. Regardless, I feel so lonely most days that it hurts.

Yes, but here I am
with love, but somehow more alone than I was before.
Yet this sounds like a complaint,
and I wouldn't know where else to be.
Misery loves company,
and that guilt, that pressuring hold
only thickens with each day
I still talk to myself on my own,
or in my head while they're home.
I love them to death
but somehow still feel so completely alone.
Selfishness and pride will allow me to abide,
while I hold onto an idea of something I don't even have.
To knowingly lie to myself,
to try to claim that I'm fine
when all my lies are true
as long as they're socially looked at as mine.
If that is the case,
then I can try to play games,
to try to fool my own brain into believing I'm not...
alone.
Just alone in the game.

If the world sees me as
"not alone,"
it almost gives me permission to keep pretending as if im really not.

it is a heartbreaking feeling to despise how most people act, and at the same time wanting so bad a connection with someone.

 

[kitkatt]

Literally feels like having endless void inside. I have a few good friends but that's not enough. I'm lonely and touch starved in a world where it doesn't feel like people value long term relationships anymore. Probably better to be alone less complicated that way I suppose. Well with me being here and all that.

 

[Archerbanshee]

Loneliness is better than being around toxic people. I'm working so hard, so that I can enjoy a bit of loneliness before I switch off

 

[pelicanportal]

constantly

 

[TwistedNightmares]

I felt lonely ever since I was a kid, and I don't think that will change for me.

I feel that way a lot, especially recently.

 

[c4bomba]

Extremely. Part of me thinks I deserveit but part of me craves connection deeply but I'm not cut out to be human

 

[Viranamari]

I feel lonely all the time even as im constantly surrounded by people. its not that they aren't there for me, its that im not emotionally connected to them. there's nothing wrong with that and im not particularly keen on being close to others emotionally.

 

[aesthetic]

i like being alone, but i hate being lonely.

 

[nitrogenous]

I feel so lonely all the time, I think it definitely makes everything worse. Especially, when I've tried reaching out for help only to get rejected or ignored, it reminded me how lonely I am and how no one cares about me…

 

[tonicer]

I wish i would get a hug or just a friendly gesture once in my life. I am a 43 year old guy and i never even hold hands with a girl/woman. Being ugly is the biggest disadvantage you can get. I'd rather be stupid than imprisoned in this weirdly shaped body. I work out a lot and got some muscles now but i am still not looking any better. At least getting stronger removed a lot of the fears i had in the past when i was literal weak beansprout.

 

[FadingSnowFake]

Yip, all the time. Heavy emptiness.

 

[j888]

im extremely lonely all the time. i have 3 friends, which i havent been able to see in person in many years. my 1 friend we used to be much closer with but shes so busy with her life that we've drifted apart over the last few years. my other 2 best friends i message everyday and i love them very much. a lot of the time i cant think of things to talk about and i cant hold a conversation, but i still try my hardest because i always want to talk to them. being depressed turns me into a boring lifeless person with no personality. we send less messages than we did a year or 2 ago. they are siblings so naturally they are closer and are able to interact more. it makes me happy knowing they'll always have each other. i wish my sibling was older, i cant talk in the same way i would to a friend because of our age difference. im depressed and isolated and i crave connection so badly. i have dreams regularly where im just talking to people because i crave connection so much. being isolated for so long makes me feel like im going crazy. when im feeling extremely lonely it becomes physically painful from how sad i am.

i badly wish things were different but im still grateful for who i have. ill always love friends and family

 

[GodzillasBiggestFan]

yes it seems like my friends i do have all like each other more then me and i feel left out often and ignored. the other day i was in a group and all were talking and i asked someone what they meant over and over and they just ignored me. i dont know if it was on purpose or not. but i said over and over and even my other friend noticed who was sitting further so shouldnt the person sitting right next to me have heard too? i dont know. i much perfer hanging otu with just one person at a time because when theres multiple they usually always talk to each other more then me. if i can even get anyone to hang out/respond my texts at all. i am introverted so i dont really mind being alone a lot, but i care about my friends and it makes me sad when they ignore me. most people though i am glad if they ignore me because i dont like talking to most people. so its okay. its just sad sometimes when its my friends.

 

[dreaming]

extremely lonely lately, even when I interact with others, I hide all my real feelings, I don't think I feel comfortable with anyone anymore.
