Does anyone else feel lonely?

[Zorya]

I'm the CEO of feeling lonely

I'm the Queen of Loneliness. Sheeple at work won't talk to me for hours and hours.
I'm quitting. Prefer to be at home reading comic books, manga and watching anime.

 

[whywere]

100% 24/7/365. Never have had a friend and probably never will.

 

[ocd is bad]

Yes, 100% of the time. If OP or anyone else wants someone to talk to my dm's are always open

 

[donquixote42]

Yes, and I find it hard to connect with people, because I feel probably wouldn't like them (unless they have the same general interests as myself).I despise small talk, perceiving it to be a waste of time, don't like attending large social gatherings (unless they are attended by likeminded individuals), shrug at bad jokes (especially those that are sexual in nature, since I couldn't care less about that sort of stuff), so in the end I end up sitting on my ass at home or performing solitary activities. I am currently trying to limit my exposure to social media since it has a negative effect on my well-being, so I guess I will end up as a modern-day hermit.

 

[Zorya]

I've tried to look for people who like comic books / manga and cartoons /anime. They looked me down like I was some kind of retard.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Iam but I've got use to it. I'm going out for a meal and I'm getting anxious about it now. Lockdown hasn't bothered me. It's saved me making excuses up not to go out.

 

[J113632]

Literally always. Even if I'm with family or friends, it never really goes away. There's always a feeling of separateness and isolation that I can never get over.

 

[IBreathButNoMoreLive]

I have gone past feeling ... tbh I feel nothing now .... I have gone into myself .... I literally feel nothing

 

[lostangel]

It's been like this for years, I have broken down so many times thinking about it I just don't bother to react to it. I've just accepted it.

 

[mathieu]

Yes, lonely and empty, always.

 

[Mila]

Always lonely, always alone. 24x7

 

[TheSoundofTime]

I feel lonely all the time . I work harder and have become more productive but fml, I don't have anyone

 

[Numbtopain97]

Yes. All the time.

 

[ritsulover]

My entire life and I never got used to it. I really dont have anyone

 

[Muirthemne]

95% of the reason I'm here. No matter where I go, I'm always the biggest loser, the biggest weirdo. Even among other mentally ill people, I'm a freak who's miles behind everyone else. I'll never fit in anywhere.

 

[AllReturnsToNothing]

Every waking moment of every day and every night I'm lonely. I'm alone in the world and I have nobody. Nobody can truly know me or know how I feel. I have nobody. It's probably for the best. I'll just hurt them or push them away anyways.

 

[MyChoiceToLeave]

Every single day of my life.

 

[fat feet]

In the back of my head knew I was very lonely for a long time. I started going on line, reading and commenting on the news. The people i was speaking to did not know this was the only conversation I would have. My husband would not talk to me, he weren't out of his way to ignore me. Now that I am getting a divorce at 57 I realize I have not one that is a friend that I can talk with, go out for dinner or have a drink with.
The best thing for me to do now is to give what I have from my divorce and give it to my child and their child so they will have a decent chance in this F'ed up world the political and very wealthy are creating.

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.

My Dad used to talk to strangers when we were in the line up of the store and I do the same thing. I feel bad because now I know he was really lonely. He had horrible wives that took advantage of him. I think often now if he ever really had someone besides me that really loved him.

 

[YellowSneakers]

I've become very lonely. Recently diagnosed with a neurological disease & the isolation of disability is unbearable.

 

[BPD Barbie]

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

Same. It sucks so badly.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Only the weak are not lonely.

I find that people do not like me when they know who I am. I have never thought that I would not like them. Interesting.

I have been very happy to be a hermit, with out the warts. lol.

 

[Klee]

Horribly lonely. Therapy was one of my only interactions, I miss it so much. The pandemic has taken a lot.

Feel for you, the lockdown has killed my in some way of form as well.... must adjust and carry on which will never happen for me at least

 

[Wisdom3_1-9]

I feel lonely, yes, but I also desire loneliness. It's strange. I don't enjoy "feeling alone" which is different than "being alone". At work, I am constantly surrounded by people (whom I generally like, by the way) and when I come home, my husband is usually here. Still, I feel lonely at all times, because no one really understands me at my core. When I feel that way, I log on to SS.

 

[draw a circle]

I'm not alone, but I'm lonely. I can talk to plenty of people but not about things that really matters. I used to talk about everything with my mother, but as I get older things I'm going through change and for the worse, I don't have the energy and courage to get judged by her. My friend hangs out with me every other week, but even though they're physically here, I feel like they're always somewhere else. I'm keeping too many secrets from my other friends. I'm not alone, but it sure feels like it.

 

[mr.smileysad]

I have plenty of friends and other people who I interact with on a daily basis but none of them know the real me only the act I put on for them it sucks I find booze and gaming helps

 

[BitterlyAlive]

All the time. I have friends, but I don't feel like they want to talk to me. They have better friends to talk to instead.

 

[shadow7891]

lonely every day. no friends, no girlfriend. same routine for years now.

 

[Adamsnolife]

Apart from a few people I talk to on here yes very much so.
