In general, do you feel lonely?

Question

Rosexøxø · Accepted Answer

I find bliss in answering truthfully here, so yes, I DO FEEL LONELY.

I feel this emotion, and though it be negative, I embrace it. I think, at this point in my life... I will always be lonely. It's a mental and emotional thing.

If people don't see things how I see them, or how I see life, myself and them- are they "ever really there?" Even if just for a brief moment?

Anyway, I never used to be this mushy. I didn't feel lonely because I believed I would live the life I wanted to- I'd get out and travel non-stop/ hard-core. Engage so many animals/wildlife/people and take everyone I care for, out on my adventures (affordability-wise), whenever I would want to.

At this point in my life (I always was aware, unfortunately, and always felt it), I do feel closer to death. Now, in my second decade of life, and I'm not entirely sure how I'm liking it, lol. That realization and my personal beliefs mean, for myself:

I'll never see other people again, and since I didn't get the headstart that I WANTED LIKE CRAZY, in life, I feel more of a need for someone to console me or be with me.

Isn't that what loneliness is?

When we obsess over being understood and don't get that all the time
When we're bored and have a sad outlook at that moment
When we feel like the things we wanted in life, won't come or come so soon, nor will we have much time with them.

Loneliness is definitely more of a sadness. No one is ever sad when alone. That's just basic solitude. It shouldn't be that way, so the feeling is definitely perspective and purely emotional.

And It can be other things too, if people see it or feel it that way.

I know 100%, I didn't feel this way before, and I LOVED being alone. I had objectives, and I had people constantly gathering, nearby.

Now, those seem slightly different. I feel lonely, I understand that, but it's one of those things I don't mind bearing, and I know at THIS point in my life- no one can hurt me emotionally, even if I boldly (or just plainly, really, lmao) say that "digitally" out loud.

It's super peaceful to admit that. I'm like ready for a power nap XD.

This may sound weird, but I don't really have the time to feel lonely. I have a lot going on at the moment, so my mind is constantly occupied with one thing or another.

My parents are with me when I'm home, and when I go to college, I'm surrounded by friends.

I've been there though, 2 years ago and it really sucks. Not everyone can handle it well. I know that I went bonkers.

Yes for the most part, I feel like people
Don’t really know the true meaning of love and how to love someone the right way , So many people are selfish and only think of themselves, You meet someone amazing , have amazing chemistry and connection together , you are filled with happiness that you finally met someone that claims they want the same as you , the intimacy and affection isn’t even an issue between the both of you , you feel safe and secure with each other and then BAM you mean shit to them all of a sudden , They start distancing themselves , they snake excuses not to let You touch them or kiss them , you all of a sudden are a piece of shit to them , They start excluding You they stop making
You a priority , they make everyone else their o priority , and you are left with this constant question mark over your head as to why all of a sudden they are treating you this way , to realize they are just a selfish person that only cares about themselves? I will not Commit to a girl that doesn't know how to remove selfishness , waste of fucking time and that’s why I feel lonely because
Most girl’s don’t know what that means

Yes, 35 and over. My wife hit her 20 years in the military which is when you're supposed to retire. But, ... obliserv and new orders. She is deployed right now, and I've been alone for about 3 months...4 to 12 more to go. My son is here but he non-verbal autistic with the highest rating and yes, he is actually diagnosed.

So here I am. I hit the weights and try to listen to my favorite youtube channels (takes the mind off me and on some other shit) all day... no human to human talking except here on the internet... what I'm doing right now... this is it. I handle it though. I would've made a great person to send to Mars by himself. I find shit to do. I think in prison I would be just fine in solitary...60 days in the dark... no fucking problem. I just find it morally wrong to do crime. I'm 40 and never been to jail or even got a parking ticket.

Is what it is... but yeah... if I sound a little crazy right now... take in what I just said... I've been doing this lifestyle now for almost 20 years now.

Guy13 · Answer

Do you mean knowing and feeling all alone or yearning for companionship or connectedness. Or “left out of a place in this world, isolated, or empty at times then yes.
And this leads to Excessiveness in order to feel better whether food, alcohol, drug, and/or whatever that may be. These externals are signs of loneliness known introspectively too.

Been there but learned Contentment in this statement, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what will you wear. is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? and Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

NathanDavis · Answer

nope, not anymore... and because I am not lonely

long time ago though (childhood and early teens) I often felt sort of lonely, even among the few close people in my life who were there right there by me... but those days are long gone... fortunately

TruthBringer · Answer

Thankfully, no.

I have great friends, a family that has my back and a wonderful significant other. But things weren't all so fruitful many years ago when I was dealing with low-quality people and was in an emotionally abusive relationship with someone who has a personality disorder. Oh well, I believe these are the typical lessons in life that most people have to go through anyway.

prensesmishka · Answer

I don't feel lonely. Sometimes I look for someone's presence in my life, I know I would enjoy certain things more, but I focus on the things I enjoy with myself and my family. Everything has it’s own time. One should not feel alone with oneself. Not everything requires someone to be with you. I do things that I enjoy doing on my own.

Juicyred921 · Answer

I feel very alone and scared. No family, no friends. No help or support. No one to reach out to or talk to. Bad things keep happening to me like a domino effect. Soon I’ll have nothing. I’ll lose my home, my daughter, then probably my mind. Everyone wants to take from me when I have nothing to give. Even while knowing that, they still try to take every bread crumb from me.

kinggeorge007 · Answer

Sometimes, yes. So I said yes. But the thing is the dating world is too scary to be committed to someone. One moment they are here and the other moment they are gone complete on the other side of the fence. Most of them are opportunists and time passers. I don't need that. So...

NostalgiaSenpi · Answer

Truthfully, yes. Unless I happen to communicate, I'm basically left alone from people I knew for years and they never once made an effort unless I messaged first. It's become obvious that none of them care about me anymore and I've cut ties with them. Communication is a two way street.

Still-alive · Answer
