Do you ever feel so lonely

[Bedtime1]

I sometimes just feel so lonely. All alone in this world. I have a difficult relationship with family and my husband struggles with how sad I feel about this. I don't have any close friends I feel I could talk too. I just feel so sad like nobody cares. When me and him fall out I feel I have noone. I don't let people get close to me as I've been hurt in the past ! Apparently I'm too nice. I also am sensitive .
Is it just me. I'm now driving rp

It sent too quick but was going to say I'm driving around aimlessly feeling all alone.

Yes I am completely isolated not even DH is emotionally supportive of me so married yet all alone

It's not just u.i think loads of people myself included can feeli lonely. I have done the same driving around thing myself.hard as it may seem. Have to like urself first and then u will hit it off with people who will b true friends, I have v difficult relationship with family and dh and I row a lot. But I have my kids. I have a faith. And a few clos friends. It will b ok x

I do. things are crap at the moment.

Yes bedtime, you are not alone. I have my children and thats it, but they are all I need. . I have fallen out with all my family for various reasons. My ex p and father of my children has moved on and is apparently happy and I have no close friends. I am on my own in every sense. Its hard and I'm frightened sometimes but I'm doing it and I'll be fine. I'd rather stand up for myself even if it means standing alone. You will be ok too

I feel like this too a lot apart from dh and kids I would feel alone as I've fell out with family too.

I struggle with shyness and social anxieties too so I'm pretty rubbish at making friends. And I've a child with sn so I have no time to do anything with anyone anyone, the internet is my friend

Until now, I always got by on my own.

I get lonely too. Dh is a workaholic. I have 3 dc, two are adults...my little one is only 5, so I'll have a sidekick for awhile . I am a sahm and just don't really fit in anywhere. I am thinking of going back to school at the first of the year and somehow return to the work force.

dontwannasay, most of my social interaction is on MN, and a brief chat with checkout clerks comes a close second. as well.

I'm alone but never lonely. I have books, zillions of CD's/mp3's and watch a lot of films. I have the net and a load of forums like this one. I have a handful of close friends but have waved goodbye to acquaintences and all the pathetic drama that comes with them. I have no dependants so am free to do what I like, when I like with only myself to answer to. For every moment I spend thinking I'd like a "hot chick" to share my life with, I spend more being happy that I don't. I'm not so desperate that I want to endure a bunch of Miss Wrongs in the hope of finding Miss Right. It's not something I dwell on,, if it happens it happens,, I'm neither looking nor not looking. All that might make me appear selfish but that's the joy of being single,, that's when you should be self-indulgent,, nothing I do negatively impacts anyone else. I have empathy - I try to help people here and elsewhere. Other peoples' distress upsets me so I make myself feel better by encouraging them to be positive and be THEMSELVES. If I date, I'm kind, considerate and amusing. I have flaws but, for the most part, I like me. I'm happy with who I am and if there's a 'secret' I think that's it. If you like yourself you don't need other people, especially negative ones. It's interesting to me that this site (and others) have a forum titled "Relationships" but never a seperate one for singletons. So, am I 'happy'? I think I'm the the happiest person I know. I prefer the term content. A bad week for me is one in which I've spent a few hours bored. Yeah, learn to like yourself and try to change the things about you that you don't like. The demons you're stuck with, embrace them and let them out to play when it's appropriate. That expends their energy so they bother you less when they're back in their box.
