Does anyone else feel lonely?

[throwaway123]

there's noone I can talk to. Absolutely no one.

 

[Incorrigible77777]

ALWAYS.

 

[psychoticxerror]

Definitely. Loneliness all day, every day. I haven't felt close to anyone, or had anyone to share the details of my life with in years. Sometimes I look forward to small talk with strangers just because it's the only human interaction I'll have.

 

[Good4Nothing]

Yup.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Sure, all the time. Even when I'm around people I still feel lonely knowing that I don't think like them and can never truly connect with anyone to the fullest extent.

 

[miguel6565]

Yea 24/7

 

[leiche]

yeah, loneliness and bore are the worst feelings ever

 

[Sinai Silence]

All the time, loneliness sucks real bad. It always feels like a losing battle when I try to connect with people.

 

[RicRac]

24/7

 

[Denise2207]

All the time

 

[airboy_a380]

there's noone I can talk to. Absolutely no one.

U have me if u Want. My pm is always open.

 

[Playlainin]

If anyone here is a bum like me and hangs out at their PC most of the day and has very few people on discord, PM your @ I'll add you and we can chat

 

[Ghost2211]

Always lonely, never alone.

If anyone here ever just wants someone to talk to my box is always open. None of us are alone as long as we have each other

 

[Mistake of Nature]

Always. It's one of the main reasons why I want to CTB.

"Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape."

 

[Lost Girl xx]

Same

 

[MrBlue]

Its probably the one constant in my life :/

 

[Deleted member 17949]

Very lonely, I find it hard to connect with people.

 

[Deleted member 18655]

U have me if u Want. My pm is always open.

Yup. Me too. I'm here to chat.

 

[riglad]

there's noone I can talk to. Absolutely no one.

Same here. I'll talk with you though

 

[AnotherBrick]

Absolutely, but being even slightly active here has helped quite a bit. Even lurking helps, as I've never met anyone irl I've felt comfortable talking about these things with.

I rarely meet new people (especially nowadays), but it always ends one way or another. I try to accept that people simply come and go in life, but I've been told this attitude is me putting up walls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[foxdie]

I have always felt alone. I feel this on many levels.

 

[RedDEE]

Oddly enough - I never feel lonely. The opposite in fact - I want to feel alone. I want everybody to just leave me the fuck alone - where I'm living, I don't have much privacy and people are breathing down my neck and on my ass every second. I can't wait to die so I can finally be in solitude.

 

[Coateseatsgoatsnboat]

Always! No matter where I go, who I'm with I'm always lonely. I could be with 200 so called friends and family and yet I'm always alone! It's so daunting

 

[Spiny Lobster]

Absolutely. It's difficult finding the right people to share with, and once I do, I never feel better for it. I feel like I'm pushing everyone away thanks to this illness. And because of that, I tend to cling all the more while knowing deep down it's my fault I'm alone.

 

[Artyom]

Pretty much 24/7. I've been lucky enough to have healthy relationships with my coworkers, friends, and family, but I still feel alone in my head. Like I can't express my thoughts. Not sure if it's trust issues or what, I don't feel safe expressing stuff and due to that I feel lonely. Very closed off emotionally and mentally

 

[Apathy's Girl]

I feel like I should be lonely but I really just don't care anymore.

 

[Zorya]

I am very lonely, isolated, alienated. No-one talks to me except my mother. Yay?

 

[muffin222]

Yes. I actually broke down earlier because the loneliness hit me straight in the gut and I couldn't escape it by distracting myself like I usually do :(

 

[AprilsBlessings]

I'm the CEO of feeling lonely

 

[SadJessu]

Yes, and the most ironic part is that I'm not actually socially isolated. I want to talk to others about my feelings, but I simply can't. My family always says things like 'perk up' or 'you know you have it so good'. My mum doesn't understand at all and internalizes things rather than listening, and my father treats me like a child, I'd be much too afraid to talk to him. My current partner is great, but I know that he listens out of pity, as we've argued and he's said 'I've tried to be there for you, think of how much I've done'. This and other hints that he thinks depressive people need to keep their problems to themselves. Plus I know they all think CTB is a selfish act, and their constant reminders of 'how lucky I am' only make me feel even more guilty.

No one wants to hear the pitiful moaning of a depressed girl. Best to try to hide it and remain alone in the mind.
