yeah being lonely sucks...

the more ya think about being
lonely, the more lonely ya get

there is a saying...
until you can enjoy your own company,
don't expect anyone else to

when you get tired enough of the feeling,
you do something about it

I too, used to be a lonely thing.

But then I took the time, to appreciate my family and friends. And going outside to do something interesting each day, stops you from falling into the dark pit of time, and house depression.

Also I've found that listening to plenty of music everyday, and watching a good movie, every so often, keeps your mind very positive.

In the end, when you are living your life right. You will bump into plenty of good potential partners, but not until you can smile about being you, loving yourself, and being happy with your life.

Many people may see your life, qualitys, values, and personality, as unatractive.

You should worry about improving your lifestyle, before anything else! :)


Exactly. Go out and enjoy life. Find things you like doing. Spend time with people away from your house. Don't sit at home and feel sorry for yourself. Once you actually get out and start doing things more often, you'll feel less lonely.


All of this certainly helps, but there are just days when being alone still sucks azz!!! I grew up with friends that were around pretty much 24/7 and though I have lived alone before, was rarely ever really alone at any moment unless by choice. I stay fairly busy, work out, do yoga, socialize with local friends/coworkers, but sometimes not having someone I feel close to around gets to me!


I think being lonely is a choice. Sure, it happens to everyone at times, but if you're sitting around being lonely all the time, it's because you're letting yourself be that way.

Then again, I have people around I feel close to. I don't have to be dating someone in order to have people around that I am close to.


I'm just saying that every now & then I feel it! I don't sit around being lonely constantly nor do I need a love interest to feel close to someone. My friendships here are not the same as the friendships with the friends that I grew up with. Guess I just get homesick sometimes!

Thanks Mrbiscuit...I don't let it get to me, but feel it at times! It's okay to feel it & work through it to me. That's how you heal and become stronger! Emotions are not choices IMO, but chemical reactions in the body that lead to feelings. Now sitting around feeling sorry for yourself for feeling lonely is a choice, but I don't choose that option, I figure out how to get passed that feeling.

Please note that I did say it happens to everyone at times. When I talked about it being a choice, i was talking about those who seem constantly lonely, but don't do anything about it. Maybe I should have said those who feel sorry for themselves instead... as that's definitely a choice.
