Alone

[winterbreak]

Hi

Is anyone else single and finding life lonely at the moment?

I have had some Zoom catch ups and socially distanced meet ups with a few friends. I have hobbies I enjoy but I just feel I'm alone most of the time.

Two exes have moved on with new partners and I always seem to be single. I've realised where I have gone wrong in relationships. I am on a dating app but very rarely meet anyone I am attracted to. I'm not needy or desperate but would like a partner to message or talk to in the evenings. I also miss hugs.

I'm looking into doing things to keep myself occupied but I suppose I needed to vent.

Yes.
I get cuddles at work. Not from my family. But I'm not at work at the minute. I miss cuddles.

Yes, I’m feeling that way lately. I’m old and I haven’t had a relationship last more than 4 yrs. I’m mourning the “one that got away” who is now married with kids for the past 25 years.

I miss companionship and feel at my age I will never fall in love again. 😕

I hear you, OP.

I'm 46. My longest relationship has been 11 months. I've never had a relationship that has been good or loving. I've never been loved.

I am rarely attracted to someone nowadays and I cant abide online dating so I guess that is it for me now.

I don't know if I even could have a relationship - I don't know how!

I feel like this too.

Me too! Ive tried and tried with online dating. No luck whatsoever. Single 4 years, not close to family. I have a lot of friends but it’s hard when no one lives close by and been working from home 6 months now I often wonder why its like this....

Thanks for your replies. It can be tough being on your own. Glad I'm not the only one that feels like this.

❤
