anyone else alone??
Does anybody else feel like they are alone 24/7?? I have friends but I feel like I'm on my own all the time!
I'm open to discussing this one-on-one with about anyone. What does it take to feel connected to someone?
@ElyseMyers12368 I understand that buddy! It is a hard situation where you're surrounded by people who live you but yet you feel alone in this world. These are enough to make us feel weak but every challenging time always has a positive motive! And that is the fact at least you got yourself to keep yourself warm and you're opening up is another proof that you're strong enough to withstand it and find a solution ♥️ I am sure you will 🫂
actually thank all of you! for all of your kind words and for sharing ur stories too. it feels nice to not be alone!
Yes. I know my friends are the kindest and most empathetic people I could ever surround myself with, and I'm thankful for their existence alone. However, I still wish I would be dead the next day and not wake up from sleep. Often think of dying, but in a painless and quick way.
@ElyseMyers12368 I understand how you feel! You're not alone! I too sometimes experience feeling alone or lonely although I have people in my life who care for me. Still our feelings valid! Sending love <3
I'm alone at the moment but i spend my quality time with my inspiring mother and my lovely wife and I feel you really..i love you. don't feel alone. do an activity that brings joy and listen to inspiring quotes if you feel a little lost..❤️

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling like you're alone all the time, even though you have friends. It's understandable to feel that way sometimes, especially during challenging times or if we're dealing with difficult emotions.
It's important to remember that feeling alone doesn't necessarily mean that you are alone. You mentioned that you have friends, which is a great start. However, it can be helpful to try to connect with them more or seek out new opportunities to meet new people who share your interests.
Additionally, it can be helpful to take some time to reflect on why you might be feeling alone. Is there anything specific that's contributing to these feelings? Are there any ways that you can address those issues? Sometimes, simply identifying the root cause of our emotions can help us better understand and manage them.
Remember, it's okay to feel alone sometimes, but it's important to reach out for support when you need it. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here to listen. There are also resources available such as therapy or support groups that can provide additional support and guidance.

Yes I very much feel this way. Isolated and haven't seen any friends or had physical touch in months (they are too busy) I almost cried last week when I got my blood drawn because of the person touching my arm 🥲 I'm also sensitive to light and have been mostly in the dark and it's all very disorienting and I've lost touch w reality and have nothing to secure myself to in "real life" my bff who lives out of state was planning to visit but cancelled so even they don't feel real

Dang, that really sucks. If I could meet u in person I would give u a HUGE hug! I'm sorry that this is happening, I hope that it gets better soon. But u can always talk to me if u need to, I know it is not the same as being in person tho. LOVE YA!!❤️
@Mashedpotato364 Same thing happened when I got my blood drawn. Or when I was in the hospital and people just checked up on me. It wasn't personal and I knew that. It just felt so caring when I was so desirous of care. Do I push people away? Or is it our touch-avoidant culture? Even playing soccer and having a person gently place their hand on my arm (so that we didn't run into each other) was more physical authentic kindness than I received in years. Authentic because she wasn't consciously trying to care, or even thought about it, or had any other intention. And here I am, thinking about it.
Sigh. I don't even know how to ask people for it. My family and friends aren't close enough. Virtual hugs are usually well-intentioned but again, virtual. Even if I were to get something real, that would probably just make me want it more. And without a deep foundation of friendship, I don't feel that is fair to ask anyone else. Because I would want to have that available. Thank God for prayer.
Here's hope...
