I've been thinking about loneliness, cos I am lonely. Im a single mum, which is isolating but I work part time so I do have colleagues, I have seen another adult on Thursday night, Friday night and this morning. So why am I lonely?
I think it's about depth of interaction. I'm mostly catching up on a weekly basis, so there's not much continuity in conversations.
I've tried to combat loneliness by messaging friends, just to have a virtual chat. But people are busy and I get short responses back, leaving me feeling like a nuisance.
It's tough isn't it? It chips away at me. Then when I do have good company, I dread them leaving and feel more lonely before.
Anyone been in this situation? Can I do something to snap me out of it??
