Does loneliness drive you crazy?

[Bradm01]

I've noticed that when people are lonely. they become desperate and bored.. causing them to become paranoid or 'weird. I know that when I've been alone I start thinking about myself and my life, and usually become angry with myself..*this was back when I dropped outta school and everyone pretty much ditched me as they moved on with there lives''

do you think being lonely drives people crazy?

I've also noticed its a punishment as if we break the law we are sent to jail to be away from others and trapped with no control

Yep it does, actually that kind of sounds like me for the past 4 years :\ lol I can be a little bitter and snappy with people and I feel really angry at a lot of things because I don't have anyone to hang out with and guys have never really treated me good, it's never ever got to even a relationship, the dates just went from good to all way down the drain and I don;t know why but the guys always turn out to be lieing cowards who can't tell me the real reason they just completely ignore me after a few dates (which is defiantly cowardly of them and ignorant). All I know is it really does try me insane especially that time of month when my hormones are heightened a lot more making me kind of moody and tired and I always find it harder to deal with it and I really start craving cuddles from guys because it really would cheer me up. Times like those I wish I had someone to actually make me feel better but I don't and people can call us desperate but surely they know what it's like to be alone too? and it really is painful and as you said very very boring since we have nobody to laugh with, open up to and generally we feel like we can't trust anyone and that we won't even find anyone who can begin to understand us so our mood is generally not as good as it could be.

[Bradm01]

Wow! you Get me..!

[emmabee11]

Glad I do :) it's madness, today I'm a bit moody lol I am very very bored, I wish I had someone to hang out with but I don't, I totally wish I had someone to hug me but I don't and it sucks, people keep saying the more cliche things like "Oh don't worry whatever you will find someone" it really doesn't help... lol we actually DON'T have someone near us to cheer us up so what's the point, can they not try to cheer us up themselves instead of being all cliche? lol.

[Bradm01]

yea it would be nice if this site made a change physically..instead of mentally.. I get that same answer all the time and have said it to many others ( hang in there..something good will happen) but it never will until people start REALLY doing something about it..

[emmabee11]

Yeh I know what you mean but it's like with nearly everything these days they never really do anything unless there's something in it for them, there's some people I love though that would do things to make me happy but mostly it's just like say words to comfort but no action to actually improve it. Of course it;s hard for people far away, they can't be here but people who are near us can take the time to try but again what holds them back? I don't know.

Being lonely does make me go crazy..Its more stressful.. and sometimes I have days where I don't know what to do with myself. I am in a totally new city and I have no friends or even family around me. It's pretty tough.. My schedule is really busy..Its the same every week. I go back and fourth from University to my Apartment, finishing homework, cleaning up, organizing notes and preparing presentations. Also going to work. All of it takes place around the same area and I have no idea how to meet new people. It feels like I am not going anywhere with anything or any part of my life. I try to stay in contact with friends at home (before I had to come to the city) but they don't ever seem interested talking to me or even keeping contact.. I know that it's mostly because my friend just got married and pretty much is in a world of her own but still. maybe there is something wrong with me.It's hard to know.

[Bradm01]

There is NOTHING wrong with you, but sounds like your ''Friend'' could get off her high horse and be a friend..

[letsdance]

Thank you..

well.. I think I learned not to care.. It bothers me cause I thought we were good friends... guess things just change.

[Bradm01]

yea, My Best Friend whom also is my cousin...we grew up together and where practiculy brothers and now we barley even get a hello outta each other...people change with time.. along with everything else.. ;/

[letsdance]

yup..

[Bradm01]

lol and yes I do know I perty much repeated everything you said ;)

[letsdance]

haha..well it's a different experience. Makes me feel little less crazy to know other people have the same type of situations that happen. :)

[Bradm01]

Yea! same here

[uluvshrainey]

It doesn't drive me crazy, personally... but I have seen some insane behaviors from lonely people =/ I agree with you it can feel like a punishment...Still tho If I'm alone for too long I do tend to talk to myself. A lot. On Second thought... Maybe I am crazy

[Bradm01]

haha, I guess I'm speaking for lonly in LONG term, not just a couple of weeks, but more like 4 monthes or more... and yes ALLL WOMEN ARE CRAZY! ;p

[TheGoodTheBadTheHOT]

Dear god your grammar...

Anyway, being lonely gives one time to think and be one with their thoughts and as with everything, too much of something can be bad for you. Humans are social creatures, and if you can cope with no social interaction, then there's a screw or two loose upstairs.

Loneliness doesn't drive people crazy per say, it just steadily increases the desire for social interaction and eventually gets to the stage where the mind has to step in to avoid a catastrophic breakdown.

[Bradm01]

haha what's wrong with my grammer homes...

and appreciate the answer!

[TheGoodTheBadTheHOT]

Ach doesn't matter, I managed to look past it and contemplate the idea your question brought forward

[Bradm01]

ahaha dude where was you when I was in school...I could have cheated off of you!

[AltTech]

Maybe some people it does.

I've been single for years, and I don't necessarily feel lonely. I actually enjoy being solitary for the most part. I doubt I'll be single forever, but if I was, it wouldn't turn me crazy, I'd definitely make the best of it.

[Bradm01]

yea I understand that...im speakin in terms of LONLY of no one else around..

[americanita04]

Lonelyness makes us appreciate the things and people that will be in our lives in the future so that we don't loose them like the people in our past.

When you feel like its driving you crazy find new things to do, go out, distract yourself! Its working for me :D

[Bradm01]

ha, yea I've been lonly for so long..dont even notice it anymore lol but your right..I used to go for a run just to get my mind off of things..

[Anonymous]

Yes. Yes, and oh did I mention? Yes. It feels like a punishment. Its like when a kid is naughty and you isolate them, they hate it, that feeling doesn't seem to change as you grow.

[Bradm01]

Yes exactly

[KERMlT]

I think far too many people have done something crazy in the name of love than of loneliness.

[Bradm01]

yea I agree

[Xx_DRE_xX]

I've felt lonely for quite awhile now I'm doing alright.

[Bradm01]

yea same here

[Rachbat]

It makes my gut hurt.

[Bradm01]

im sorry..wish you wasn't lonly..
