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? 
I feel so lonley. Theres people around me, but I feel so lonely. No one is there for me. And if they are I won't let them. Why do I feel so lonely. I feel so lonely. Lonely.
I feel lonely too people around me not good. @gentleCup1525
@kingofblackcobras16 yeahh I get u
Feeling extremely lonely and alone. It makes me feel old and unwanted and unloved. Most of my life I was in a relationship and now I just remember better times that make cry. I wish life was more loving and joyful. Instead I just feel sadness almost everyday and question the universe what my purpose is for being here?
Hey, if youd like we can be friends. Ive been feeling so alone and has no one to talk to and would really like to make some new friends @bgdave
@Bennettamber1409 hello there....sure we can be friends. I hope you are having a good weekend?
I can understand the loneliness feeling... and feeling alone, not the good kind. I don't mind being by myself from time to time. I'm an introvert and I take my alone time to cool off and recharge to be able to be around people. Yet, when I do want to be with either friends, boyfriend, or family, somewhere during the hangout, I tend to feel empty. Every time I try to tell them this empty and dark feeling I have, they keep telling me to look for something meaningful, try to be happy, take control of my life, etc. etc. I've been doing that. It seems that it's not enough. I don't think they understand how difficult it is to get out of a toxic mind, and I have days where I feel and think life sucks. I also don't think they listen to me when I tell them things I have been doing and still keep telling me the same generic advice. I don't need advice. I just need someone to sit with me and listen. Be there for me.

I think I know where you're coming from. People try and fix your sadness because they love you, but generally don't really understand where you are coming from. Then you might feel obligated to be happy to them, which doesn't help anything. Sometimes other people can make it worse with their "good intentions."
Introverts get lonely too. It's important to find others who really understand!
@BeeEao
Thank you. It means a lot that someone knows and understands.
Hey, I just feel so lonely and can never talk to anyone. There is so much stress with school and my exams and Im also struggling with eating, I really just wish I had friends that I could speak to about anything but I feel so alone
@Bennettamber1409
If you ever want to just talk we can. I relate with all of the above and hope it would help you to have someone to talk to who understands !! :)
I feel lonely and abandoned. Yesterday I fought with my family. I screamed and then hit one of the windows, then left the house. During my walk I could not remember a single moment of success, until the moments of my happiness I was scared while it was happening and I did not enjoy it. I could not stay away from home much, although I wanted to be late and not go back, but I could not go anywhere alone. When I came back everyone blamed me for screaming, hitting the window and not appreciating the circumstances of others. I went to my bed and I kept crying till I was sleepy, and then I woke up with a terrible headache that still afflicts me.
I just feel really lonely haha. I have family that can support me but for some reason that doesn
I definitely know what loneliness is. I feel like all my friends see me as second choice and it really sucks because Im pretty sure its true. Only ever listening to my friends problems and them never asking how I am isnt fun at all. Ive never felt more insignificant. I literally always feel like crying now. My friends are trash but Im too afraid to walk away. They put me down and make me feel bad about myself. I feel so alone.
@lilymo hey if you ever wanna talk I'm here buddy. I think I close myself off from people a lot and I'm way too in my own head that I kind of feel insignificant too.
Life is harder than it has ever been not having any intimacy or unconditional love. I miss the loving touch that was there most of my life. It is just becoming harder and more difficult to understand and live with every year older I am alive. The last 6 years have been hell and it is my new normal. I hate my lonely existence.....
I am surrounded by people who love me. People who want to help and support me. I shouldnt feel alone. But I do. As close as they are, they cant understand. They dont see the monsters, they dont hear the voices, they dont feel the agonizing weight of despair. A thick concrete wall separates me from everyone else. I dont know if anyone will even read this. But I dont care. My pain is invisible. I am becoming my pain. I am becoming invisibile.
