Loneliness on 7Cups
Hello guys 
I have been on 7Cups for a little while and I have to say that, in some occasions, it has been helpful...in some others, it has been actually very frustrating.
I got here, as I believe many of you, searching for support, friendship, or, most likely, just someone to talk to. I live a very lonely life, in a desperately isolated place (an island with few hundreds inhabitants), and, unfortunately, I have several psychologic problems (or psychiatric?...who knows...) that developed after a not easy life. The last 3 years, especially, have just been a daily torture, a sequence of bad events that corroded me little by little. As I just wrote, I live on a little island, here we only have 2 little food stores, nothing else. Until few months ago, we didn't even have a general doctor, so, no chance to find any kind of help from professionals in the psychiatric/psychologic field. Once reached the bottom of my sorrow and despair, and having nobody that could help me, I found 7Cups.
I talked to some listeners, wrote here and there...and figured out so many times it feels like talking to myself...I wasn't able to build any stable "talking friendship", which is what I actually need. I feel like a throw stones to the void...just write sentences that maybe noone will ever read, and for sure, that noone will answer to.
I am pretty sure I am not the only one feeling like this here... I don't want this to sound like a complaint, 7Cups is anyway good, but I wish I could find someone who wants to just keep talking to me, and that wants to be listened.
Is my hope in vain? 
Hello, I am new here. Struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. Difficult to stay positive and feeling good about myself. For the last 12 years I have become vision impaired/legally blind. I would love to get to know others and offer any support possible. Looking forward to getting to know other members.
I've been having alot of issues lately and I just want to be accepted and loved but the last time I tried to hug the very person I call my 'safeplace' she pushed me away telling me I was being too clingy
@gentleThinker8969 hi there,
we all need a hug every once in a while and it's not clingy nor too clingy 🙂
Just some are honest enough to acknowledge the basic need, some others are comfortable enough to show it, some others are generous enough to give when they're not the one in need.
And some others just too scared, too awkward or not sensitive enough to know it can mean so much to someone.
🤗 sending hugs your way 🤗
I can undertsand how people are feeling, like most people, I have been struggling with a few things (work and the current world situation) but I could always rely on my small group of friends, now, I am not sure. We used to meet every Tuesday and/or Friday game or just chat, now, nothing. Seems like I have wasted my time and money doing what other people want only to be abandoned.

Hello, i am Vee i recently broke up with my best friend but i cant seem to move on the loneliness is too much for me
I got ghosted by my long distance significant other on Monday and I miss him so Much and I can't stop crying. I'm so deceatated. I'll never be able to be happy again I feel
Hey all.
I'm friendless. I'm super lonely and not in a physical place where I can go and make friends. How does a twenty something without friends or family deal with years of lonliness overflowing the lonely cup and spilling over? I can't do the things that most are told when wanting to make friends, as I'm stuck out in the country. I read, draw, work with animals (horses), listen to music, do yoga, attempt to meditate and so on. What else is there? How many 'self dates' do I have to go on before the lonliness gets better? Any advice?
Thanks.

Heyo, I'm Rob from Canada.
I've got a bit of a different angle which is really tricky to talk about because we all have different beliefs. But I've been stuggling a lot with feeling very alone as an empath and intuitive (as ironic as that may sound.) This is a tricky topic to even bring up because I'm often called crazy, a liar or people go off on me from a religious perspective. Truth is, this has nothing to do with religion, but I'm extremely energetically sensitive, always have been. I'm constantly overwhelmed with feeling the emotional states of both those around me and also the collective. The rabbit hole goes much deeper, still - I'm also tuned in to beings that most people can't perceive. (I'm also a channel and a medium) Finally, I have memories of being different people in previous life times in different places. SO you can imagine how I've learned to just keep my mouth shut. But it's devistatingly lonely when you can't express, let alone express experiences that are so profound that this reality seems black and white by comparrison. I don't have a single person IRL to talk to about these things. Even those closest to me just roll their eyes at me, so I just accept being ignored. It's really come to a head lately though, for some reason it's getting to me more than ever. I want to be able to share my gifts and unique perspective with the world, but the world just tells me to sit down, shut up and get back in line. It's a feeling so awful I really don't have words for it. Even among talking online with other empaths and intuitives, it is often unsatisfying because the spectrum of being able to perceive like we do is SO vast, so we tend to be as unique as our fingerprints which can make it difficult to relate even to one another.
Anyways, that's me coming out of the intuitive-weirdo closet. I'm not even sure what my goal in posting this here is, whether it's validation or commrodery. But it's really been bothering me on a deep level for a while, so here we are.
@newschooled hey, I am sorry that you are feeling lonely and you dont feel you have anyone to share your special gift with. You are right all empaths are different and all have different special gifts many dont understand that they have. Try to stay positive. You are awesome and unique.
@newschooled I hear you. I've learned to keep quiet about what I notice because most of the time people would prefer not to know, or have it known by others.
Hello this is Priyanka from India .. do we have any Indian women here to connect ? Need a listener to help or hear me please thanks Priyanka
