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?

Hi, after reading your message and thoughts about 7 Cups I just wanted to say, feel free to message me anytime. Even if you don't have a problem and just want to talk.. you're more than welcome to! :) I have many people who message me on a daily basis and it's just like we're friends! I wish you the best <3

Hey there, love. I'm sorry you feel lonely in a crowd full of listeners. Please pm me and we'll talk endlessly about anything you want to and I promise I'll listen.
I do not have many friends either. To be honest a lot of friends deserted me. I have depression and some of my friends kept pestering me to go out. There are times when I have not felt like going out.
I am sorry that you feel this way.
I can definitely relate to this problem. It's hard to make connections with people, and I've found myself getting frustrated with how hard it is to find a listener.

yes...every person has a long and complicated story that results in what we are now. It's impossible to tell the whole story from the beginning every time to a different listener, that's why I think establishing a connection and have an ongoing dialogue with the same person would be so much better...
I am sorry that you feel this way.
So sad! Ive risk my life for people. Took in the homeless.Got fir err d from many jons standing up for myself and others. The more I try. I get burned. I just finish cooking cause im live by myself. Just to down to want to eat.I drink a little. I dont see how two beers made me sick today. I love all women. My ex wife has to be the most black widow that could. I cant fathom while no one can actually love me. Im one of the last manly man gentleman in the World. Im trying my best to hold on. I feel like im losing it. I wish I could leave this planet for a year. I getting to depress. I found myself snapping on someone. Im starting to lose control of being social. Im a people person. Why cant I stop crying!!! Someone please pray for me. This is eating me outwards.
I just want run or fly away. To the deepest cave or far away planet

How are you doing now? I'm so sorry I saw your messages only now, so many days after you wrote them. I apologize.
I think I can understand what you speak about...I am pretty familiar with the overwhelming feeling of "just wanting to disappear"...you're definitely not alone.
Would you like to talk? I'll be happy to listen

Understand.

Hey, there!
I know it sucks to feel like this when you can talk to hundreds of people but still you feel like something's missing. I completely understand that. We listeners are trained to listen to people and help them in our own ways! In my case, I try making guests/members understand that we all have something in common and even after this conversation ends they can still connect to me.In short, they can take me as their friend! I am so sorry that you're going through this but I am always here if you ever want to talk! Just drop me a pm!
