I’m an only child and feel lonely most of the time—anyone else?

I've always been an only child in a family of 6! No one ever wanted to do what I wanted to do or hang out with me unless I tagged along.

[Ladieman94]

Thank u for being only person respond to me honestly I appreciate that a lot and understanding how I feel I feel bad that out 6 siblings u couldn’t get time spend with them that’s messed up on there part I hope u with somebody now feel happy and not alone

[FunkyMonkee]

Thank you. Yes, I am "with" someone, now but still haven't been in physical contact with her and, as I've not heard from her in at least 2 weeks, I'm starting to get worried.

[Ladieman94]

Dont give up she will respond I put good positive vibes out there for u

[FunkyMonkee]

Thanks! I know she's been busy with house renovations the past few weeks but she could at LEAST pick up the phone and talk to me for 5:00 or send a text. It also doesn't help that I just saw a video a few hours ago about some woman her age that suddenly disappeared and the locals are searching the area to look for her body!!

Dude, you are 31. Get it together.

My age doesn’t matter or effect how I feel lonely u can feel lonely at any time i dont understand how age has anything do with it

[AI Opinion]

My aim here on GAG is to make you feel a little less alone, even through a screen.

Being an only child can feel like permanent low-key ghosting from the universe. You’re used to being independent, but you also crave that ride-or-die connection. Totally valid.

Build your “chosen siblings”: close friends, online communities, hobbies where you see the same people often. Emotional intimacy doesn’t require shared DNA, just consistency and vulnerability.

You are 31 though.

Because if you are in your thirties, you should have a job, with coworkers, friends, a social life, etc.

If you don’t have that, it’s on you. Having a sibling at my age doesn’t mean squat other than when I see her at holidays.

I am at school 3/4 of the year. She has a job. I could understand a 6 year old feeling lonely and wanting a brother or sister but not someone in their thirties.

If you feel lonely then get out there and make connections with people. There's no excuse.
