Lonely

Anyone else feel lonely, I am ok with it but just wondered if I was the only one who ever felt that way?

A lot. Lost my 2 so
Called good friends over Covid. Not the people I thought they were and I’m very laid back. Tired of being stepped on. So now a few friends but no one close and tired of being the one who initiates contact

I had a so called friend turn on me for no reason and she was my best friend we were always there for each other then all of a sudden she changed into someone I didn't know and was absolutely vile, I questioned weither it was something I did or didn't do but no she just wasn't the person I thought she was and I miss our friendship since then I haven't been that close to anyone and quite frankly sometimes you just need a friend to talk to

I saw on your profile that you moved four years ago. I moved around the same time, and I hadn’t completely felt settled when the pandemic hit. And then it was virtually impossible to make connections. I read that it takes 3 to 5 years to feel settled into a new place, and I think we have to tack on two additional years you and I because the pandemic happened so soon after we moved. I believe that loneliness is some thing to expect when we move, and also to expect during the pandemic. I hope you feel settled soon, and less lonely. It is the pits.

I think it didn't help but I don't think it's solely just that I think I just haven't found a connection if you know what I mean it hasn't helped being in lockdown and covid admittedly let's hope we both feel less lonely

I definitely know what you mean. Joining this app has been a great thing for me. Even when I’m talking with someone like you who is thousands of miles away and I will never meet in person. I think just having this chat helps me feel less lonely

I'm glad I joined to for the same reason, even going by this chat alone

so true ❤️

I know that feeling all to well . I can be in a room full of people but feel alone . It’s horrible . Got worse since my mum passed away 7 years ago

Avatar

Yes I feel lonely, much more this year

Avatar

I totally get all this too!
I work with lovely people who are my friends but when I get home- no one is here and it’s quite lonely too

Avatar

I’m not too far from Heathrow.

Avatar

Yes !

I have felt alone too. I have 2 older children living with me that do their own thing and a wife who I love to bits but feel so bad when I feel low even though I have a houseful. Hate feeling that way

Avatar

Me too - I have a busy job, 2 teenagers, a dog and a cat but I quite often feel lonely. Nobody would know, as everyone thinks I’m bubbly and sociable but it’s all at a certain level and there’s no-one I can just be myself with and share life’s trials and tribulations.

I can empathise with you all, especially because tp the outside world we come across bubbly and enthusiastic xxx ❤
