Loneliness (page 2)

Flash

or a failed romance?

I was very lonely for about three years. The woman I was in love married someone else. Time has been the real cure, but seeing friends and pursuing other enjoyable interests have also helped. > I'm doing well now.

I am not afraid or embarrassed to admit that I am very lonely right now. That's not to say that I am desperate. I am not going to settle for just anybody to help take away loneliness.

I find myself in the same place right now. Of course I've been there alot since my divorce, but I've always been able to shake it off. And I wanted to shake it off, because I had an intuition that I really needed to find a way to be happy alone, before I tried happiness with anyone else. Well, I'm happy alone now, pretty much, and I'm thinking maybe it's time to listen to the sound of loneliness (it's pretty loud right now, lol), instead of running from it at the speed of the sound of loneliness. The universe, of course, may have other plans.

Sandy--I hear ya! I really do.

Some days are great. I don't even have time to consider that I might be lonely. And for the most part, I enjoy being single. Being able to run off to where I want, when I want, with who I want. But sometimes, when something really good happens...there is no one there to tell. There isn't someone I have an inside joke with, or who knows which side of the bed I like to sleep on. It's hard not to miss that at times.

Loneliness isn't just being alone....It's also the perception that you don't have anyone to go to.

You just cuddle up to the pillowy goodness anytime...lol

Sandy, I was once told that feeling lonely is our brain's way of telling us that we need to reach out to others more. It clicked for me . . . for what it's worth.

My thoughts are with you.

hehheh, my own brain has told me that. My heart and my pants tell me otherwise, lol. But my brain is probably right as usual.

Sandy,

It was nice to meet you at Sassy's. I hope you are feeling better now and not feeling lonely.

For me, I have my daughter, who loves me so much and I love her so much as well. We all need to be needed and the heart warming feeling we get when we have brought joy or comfort into the life of another.

The other night, she woke up in the middle of the night and wanted me to sleep in her bed with her, so I did. When we laid down, she on her pillow and me on mine, she had her hands together, under her face and she smiled so completely happy and closed her eyes. Every once in a while, she'd open her eyes and check to see if I was still there........and she'd smile again.

At some point, you and I will both have a mate that we can get reciprocal love from.

I'll be serious this time.

Hi Sandy.

I think if a person has a mate that they love and their mate loves them......and......if they both get along well, then lonliness isn't a factor. I get lonley for other family members because of my witness status, but that lonliness is tolerable because I have a wife who can show me love. I don't know if a person can be lonley if the above situation exists. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm in a lonely state again so I thought I'd revive my old thread.

I just took a friend of mine home and on my way home my lonliness hit me.

I was at a stop light and there was a young couple next to me. Talk about water-works.

Really I'm ok now. I just thought I'd reach out to some of you who may be feeling the same way right now.
