Do you feel lonely while being single for a long time?

[Anonymous]

I feel lonely and sad.

[ItsMariusz]

Only people with boring lives feel lonely because they're single. I've been single my whole life, yet I keep busy with hobbies and activities that bring me joy, security, confidence, and an open mind. Prioritize your own well-being before seeking a partner. While I do plan on being in a relationship someday, it's not a priority for me right now.

[Drew-1990]

Yes I do, don't get me wrong I don't have a boring life like some have been saying. I'm perfectly set up and content with what I have. But I want a girl to share it with. I'm not depressed, I have friends and a decent life but it gets lonely living alone.

[Lara_Croft]

I did idolize marriage for à long time but by God's Grace I've gotten better- I still talk about it more than I should which will hopefully change. But I believe I'm content in my singleness because there are things that God has set at my table that I can only handle now in this season of being single as a pringle😂

It’s okay if you feel lonely as it’s a normal feeling. Typically I don’t except after my last break up… it was more missing the person in my opinion. But just surround yourself with good friends and family. Learn to be happy on your own.

[Whitewulf]

Yes, I still dream of finding that girl that will live me as much as I do her. But I know it’s too late. And all the people on here will spew out things like self reliance, and inner strength. Build on your self worth blah blah fkn 🤮. These people haven’t been single long enough to know the longer you’re single the harder it gets. You get set in your ways, less tolerant, anti social and you forget how or where I would even find someone or how to approach them. I’ve been single for 14 years not by choice. I have no clue how to even start again.
obviously online doesn’t work. All of my friends which there weren’t that many anyways have all moved away.
I guess I can hire an escort to go with me to the bar so I don’t look like a total loser. I used to have better luck when I had a female at my table. Anyways yeah same. I’ve given up.

Sad to hear you feel lonely. But the positive is that you can become more self-reliant and if your state of mind is more independent of others you become more valuable to them and more attractive consequently.

The inverse is for your state of mind to be dependent on others and that results in being clingy.

See this as a growth opportunity I'd suggest.

[HawkPerception]

Yeah I definitely do. The loneliness gets worse and you start hating the world more and more each day. It can quite literally drive you insane.

You need mental fortitude to be in your own thoughts 24/7.

This is the worst generation for loneliness yet. Social media has disconnected us.

Never, I can't be more grateful thar I am single and alone
Coz I know the opposite and that's worst that death so its better to be single I dont care I just don't care how miserably I die
I have already accepted me dying alone in my small room, worms eating my dead body I have accepted all that now there is nothing to even think about

[Anonymous]

Thanks for the opportunity to confess
I hug my pillow to sleep every night imagining my former crush from college
I don't even have contact with her for over a year but in my fantasy world we are perfect 😌

[OtterMan68]

I have, but I do enjoy my alone time. My best friend recently moved, so I don't have anyone to meet for breakfast or a drink. I try my best to keep busy

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I used to in my early-20s but I was depending too much on girlfriends to satisfy the loneliness. By mid-20s or so, I started to rely more on making friends. Then I wasn't lonely much at all even when I didn't have a date.

[Account]

Not at all. I feel lonely when I am with people who do not understand me, nor do they make an attempt to do so, but even when they do, it is rarely enough.

[Foreveralonevirgin]

No I don't feel lonely at all because I have and am successful. When you have money you stop caring about what Susie thinks about you.

[CaptainOverthink]

Yes. When close to change I do. When I feel there's hope for me I get sad and feel the pain of contrast, I remember what life is supposed to be like..

[TonyMetal___86]

I do feel lonely and try my best to keep myself happy, i mean because of my past experience, i'm always concerned about having a new adventure, can't take it anymore, unless if god gives me what i deserve!

[robhazelnut]

I feel less alone in solitude than in the presence of toxic people. You have my sympathy. 🙂

[TommyMountainFigure]

I think I would yes, although I generally adapt to my situation. Having good friends would help.

[blkgold33]

Yeah I do but then I just have remind myself of all the fun things I can do while being single

[Dinklex3]

I didn’t, but I had friends and focused on myself.

[sawno]

Yeah, I think that happens to all of us especially on a harder day.

[Nikki1989]

Never been single for a long time to know. I think my longest time was a few weeks.

[SolitarySolace]

I’ve been single for 9 years straight and no I don’t feel lonely. I have friends, family, coworkers and my cat. Besides I also enjoy my personal time.

[Agent_Elflord]

Sometimes but then I think about some of the freedoms I have as a single person and it doesn't bother me as much

[SunnyRS]

I do feel lonely sometimes but mostly I am habitual now.

[DagonbroughtMehere]

Did, but that passes.

[LittleMelissa9614]

Yes, it's so sad and depressing🥺

[KrakenAttackin]

Any lonliness is far offset by the peace.

[Luckycharms12]

Nope im happy single or with someone

[DreamLife7]

[FunkyMonkee]
