How do you feel about lonely people?

Loneliness can be an opportunity. Not every person suffers being alone.
I've learned to adapt to it. During my early 20's I was always among family, friends, and men chasing. Yet.. time passed and family has moved to another country, my friends are either married and a bit more in the couple rhythm, and men I think they don't look me the same or maybe I see them differently. Thing is I'm also at graduate school and the very little time I have is to sleep and breath relaxed. My PHD program is around mental health and it can be challenging to take classes, give therapy to clients and take care of yourself even when you almost have not time for you. So.. even when yes I miss some times with a lot of lovely people, reality is being lonely sometimes is a part of the job.

I am a lonely person. Sometimes I feel like we make ourselves lonely. But it’s hard. I can be in a room full of friends and people that care about me, and still feel like no one would care if I was there or not. I isolate myself, and push myself away. I’m the reason I’m lonely, but I don’t know how to change that.

[jasco]

Well ur depress is what u are and the only way to change that is by self happiness

[Royalsarcasist]

Easier said than done my friend

[DakotaNorth]

I have Midol. Going to get ice cream soon. Comfort (junk) food helps.

[Royalsarcasist]

Very true food is amazing.

[DakotaNorth]

My PMS is not amazing.

I don't think I can feel sorry for them all. I feel compassion for most of them but some people just have it coming and it's better they stay lonely.
I don't think feeling compassionate towards them is really fruitful either because I have been a loner for a considerable amount of time and I didn't sweat it too much. Also, I didn't want anyone to feel anything about me 🤷🏻‍♂️. I mean, it was just another neutral thing for me and I preferred bring lonely. I don't know why people consider being lonely as a terrible thing.

[geo_logy]

I think they can be cool people because they have time to think about life and things that most people don’t even think about. When you come across them, you always learn something new with them.

[MlleCake]

I hope they find ways to connect with others in a meaningful way.

[DakotaNorth]

How?

[MlleCake]

@DakotaNorth hard to say. It really depends on who the person is.

[DakotaNorth]

That is not very helpful.

[MlleCake]

@DakotaNorth yeah, but it's true.

[DakotaNorth]

And unhelpful.

[DakotaNorth]

We lonely people are the forgotten ones. Desperate to have JUST ONE FRIEND while others take it for granted they will always have friends. I need a friend.

[MusicMayhem]

They have friends because they went out in the world and met people rather than sitting at home.

[DakotaNorth]

Another who takes friendships for granted. Walk a mile in my women's 7 shoes. You'll be in for a shock.

[patrickstarz]

You do have a friend. God, he is your friend

[DakotaNorth]

A great cop out. But no. That lame answer is used to push people aside by those who don't want to be friends with a lonely person.

[SirRexington]

I am one of those lonely people.

[DakotaNorth]

I want to give you a big kiss right now, honey.

[SirRexington]

@DakotaNorth um, thank you?

[DakotaNorth]

I have no friends.

[SirRexington]

@DakotaNorth I'm sorry. I technically do but we rarely hang out

[member53466143]

Well I’ve been lonely and I understand most lonely people want friends they just don’t have any so I’d try to befriend them

[Unit1]

As a lone wolf myself I can mostly relate to them.
I really like pictures of men, who are alone in an abandoned environment like in your example - these are not selfies, so there's a difference.

They hopefully have peace.

[oldguyincanada]

There are lots of them out there, even among young people.

[Anonymous]

That’s a very sad sad picture. That’s not what we’re like and I wouldn’t call it ‘’lonely’’— I prefer the space to people.
Not all think/are the same.

[apple24]

[Chikky]

Tbh, i pity them not the youngsters tho, but old people who are lonely

[Mullakkajokes]

I am a lonely guy and people will do crazy things to make me friendly

[Full_Metal_Jacket]

I'd love to be alone, it's just peace and tranquility. That light house in New Zealand is best place to be for that. As if Tom Hanks went crazy in Cast Away?

[DakotaNorth]

Being alone is not the same as being alone. You can probably call up a friend or relative any time you want and have somebody happy to see you. I don't. Nobody cares if I come or go. No friends. You can't imagine.
Choosing to be alone is easy.
Having no choice? Few have ever been there.

[DakotaNorth]

I mean, being alone is not the same as being lonely.

[Full_Metal_Jacket]

Lol you should be a prime example for all the modern day youthful women out there who walk all over good men, commodifie sex and use us as cash dispensers for decades.

[DakotaNorth]

I don't walk all over men. I'm only 5'1". Guys approach me for sex, but whoah! I don't even know you! They certainly don't want to date me or be friends.
Yes I took one man's $50 bill. He wanted to help. And a woman drove me home from the store. I take it they were trying to help out a disabled lady who found it hard pushing her walker through the snow.
That was kind. But never offered to be friends.

[Full_Metal_Jacket]

You get approached for sex and you're complaining?

[DakotaNorth]

I'm asexual, honey. I'm lonely but that's not my idea of a good time.

[jasco]

I am lonely and personally I dont feel bad or good about I feel bored just bored is al I suppose

[Anonymous]

I have been a lonely people all my life and I suspect it was meant from cradle to grave. I would suspect this disqualifies my answer on this subject.

[Anonymous]

Not all introverts are lonely. Most of them have a few close friends they are very deep with. They dislike fake companionship and/or useless chatter.

[hoodiegirl]

We all get lonely sometimes...

[Rangers]

Not all of us are like that around the clock though

[hoodiegirl]

Yes... that is true

[DakotaNorth]

I am.

[Anonymous]

Takes one to know one. Sucks because there’s not much anyone can do.

[DakotaNorth]

Extend your hand in friendship. You already have a dozen or so friends. What's one more? And it will mean the world to lonely girl like me.

[Moonlight234]

I feel compassion for them.

[DakotaNorth]

Then be a friend. I would love a friend. I tried. It seems like everyone I see has enough friends.

[dannyboy1999]

I do my best to help them in anyway that I can.

[arckioue]

Alexa this is so sad play Despacito

[CarpetDenim]

I feel that they’re people who are lonely

[LesterJester]

I wouldn't know, they're always alone.

[ikEVERYTHING]

They just need to have one popular friend

[Rangers]

Opposites don't attract, they repel

[ikEVERYTHING]

From personal experience I had no friends till I made friends with one popular kid that introduced me to his friends and then they introduced me to more people and on and on and on, and now I have. a lot of friends. So I'm just speaking personally

[ROCKS128]

I wish they change for their own good.

[colgurl]

i like to help them become less lonely

[Anonymous]

They Always have themself

[weirdoweirdo]

Right...😑

[DakotaNorth]

Let's see you try it.

[Opinion Owner]

Y'll bitches can hate somewhere else it's a complimemt they Always have themself unlike you guys

[linaashxx]

I don’t have friends but I agree I have myself and I prefer to have my space. ^^

[DakotaNorth]

If you want the solitude then you are not lonely. You're lonely if you have isolation and crave companionship. But can't get it. A concept unknown to most humans.

[linaashxx]

Nope, I am most certainly lonely but wish not to speak about my dark past which put me in that circumstance.

Although I can agree on times where I realise how lonely I am and it spiralled me into depression.

Though I cannot say friends is what I want, I was never confident and never approached. Then again, the people that friended me were not my cup of tea and made things worse. Put me off, to be realistic.

[linaashxx]

You cannot say ‘’you’re not lonely’’, if I told you about my past you’d be in awe and surprised how I’m still living to this day.

[DakotaNorth]

I'm not one upping you, I'm agreeing. Those who minimize the concept of loneliness (as with depression, for starters) have never really been there. You have stories. I have stories. I hate being belittled by those who can't see past their own reality.

[linaashxx]

Oh, sorry, I thought you were against my statement. My brains not fully active, it’s literally 6.45 and I have not slept ‘cause I’m struggling to fall asleep.

But yes, I get your point.
Some people actually think being sad for a few days makes them instantly depressed.

[DakotaNorth]

My point. When they feel better they put me down for what they don't understand. As I sometimes say, walk a mile in my women's size 7 shoes.
Those with big feet and mouths can't do it.

[PrincessGrail]

Nothing, really

[NovissimumVirorum]

Ouch

[PrincessGrail]

@NovissimumVirorum no! I’m just saying, as a group I feel nothing for them. If a friend of mine was lonely (like you, for example) I’d be all over them with sympathy. I’m a very warm hearted person if I know you and trust you.

[NovissimumVirorum]

I’m just yanking your chain. I have the heart of Pharaoh

[PrincessGrail]

@NovissimumVirorum cool 😊. I could see you as Pharaoh Akhenaten...

[NovissimumVirorum]

I did practice Atenism in high school

[PrincessGrail]

@NovissimumVirorum sweet!!!

[rikirikiramboreste]
