... with your loneliness....
... when you have finished cleaning your house, for the umpteenth time..
.. in the hope !..that keeping busy will keep your mind ,off the fact..
that you are all alone... and lonely..
... when the children are not around.
to make conversation with.....
.... when you're out running errands..
.. and you notice all the happy couples..... and you are sadly alone...

.... how do you cope with your loneliness..... what do you do to push that feeling back down deep inside...

... do you go to family and friends...
... or do you let yourself dwell on it for a while....
.. do you go crazy and become reckless....

.. how do you cope..

.. this is how she copes..
Lol.

(((((((No1)))))))

it depends on the person and it depends on the day.
some days I would give in a little to feeling sorry for myself.
but then i realized that being single doesn't have to mean being lonely.
there are friends or family.
now that Christmas is on the way, I might go shopping and see if anything catches my fancy for anyone.
take my dog for a walk to the lake.
there's always the mingle community.

Learn to embrace your time alone... I don't sit back and dwell on the time I have alone.. that would be depressing.. When I decide I want to be around others I find something to go do...to occupy my time... or go out with friends...

okay I'm willing to go off topic for a minute.. ..lol... can you elaborate.... what sort of ultimatums and deadlines... are you talking about..?

most of us respond to the mingle community
, you know when we are lonely because we are on like clockwork. But as we meet people we spend less and less time on here. Question for you, what happens when the person you meet lays down ultimatums and deadlines?

Ohhh.. dream.. I am NOT lonely at the moment..lol.. heck I just killed 15 minutes.. the guilt trip I laid on my boys finally worked... and they decided to come and help shovel the sidewalks..lol.. well it wasn't a guilt trip.. as much as I threatened to take away their Xboxes...lmao...
.. but when I do feel lonely... I do a puzzle..
. I know how pathetic is that....
.. you think it would make me feel even more lonely...lol.. but once I immerse myself into.. trying to put the puzzle together... all thoughts of loneliness disappear.... needless to say I have quite a few puzzles.... glued and displayed throughout my house..lol.... they make some really cool puzzle of these days.....lol...


.

Puzzles....lol made me remember when my friend and I put one together called the color purple...if you completed it you were to take a picture and send it in and you won a prize...after countless hours we finished it, took a pic and waited...for the " prize"...about a week later it came in the mail...it was a puzzle.... The color blue....still have it...unopened in its box....lol

Yup. You can't be truly lonely when you have children living with you.

Now, I have a dog and a bird. The bird talks and the dog does bark back talk. Still it's not the same as having a houseful of children to keep you company. You are not lonely.

I read recipe books and try to find new things to try baking

During the daytime when iam not at work I go treasure hunting with my metal detector

I work a lot and deal with a lot of elderly people who are lonley , my life revoleves around ways of easing their lonelyness

wow, i wish i had your talent so i could cope that way. That was fantastic!!!

don't feel comfortable discussing on the forum, sorry shouldn't have brought it up, my mistake

Yess.. I totally understand..
.... you can always private message me.... if you like to.... but if not...
.... ultimatums are never good..
.. the person usually picks.... the opposite of what you want them to..
... and deadlines..hmm... if it is!. hurry up my husbands going to be home soon... well nobody likes that kind of pressure...lol

Loneliness? I hardly ever feel lonely ... I'm happy with my life, where I am, who I am. And I think that's what it's all about.
If you haven't got a passion in life, you'll get lonely. I have a passion, my creativity, and honestly hardly ever get lonely. Happens maybe thrice a year ..

I am beginning to miss a partner every now and then, not missing because I'm lonely, cos I'm not. But just because I'm ready for a new relationship (I've been on my own for just over 2 years now.)

But having a passion, not sex mind you, lol, but something that makes you happy, apart from sex chuckle, and something that has nothing to do with a partner/relationship. As soon as you find that, you won't be lonely anymore.

For me it's painting, writing, my garden, my crystals, spirituality & personal growth, drumming etc. etc.

If ever I do get lonely, I go out. See a friend, or friends, or go out. Be around other people, even walking through a shopping centre helps.

I do not think I have ever been lonely.
Or wanted more people around me than are already there.

It is merely, down time, to think, to re-assess, to
ponder the intricacies of life, unexplored territory..
there is never enough time for that.

I have 12 siblings, I never had my own room.
Quiet time is essential!!

Sex, drugs and rock n' roll.











Wait, what was the question?

Just think about it earnestly and get back to what I was doing when it hit. Music is amazing at helping me move from one tangent to another. And I try and make a conscious effort in my thought process with the reasons why I choose to be single.

Watch Mr beans movie..lol

sometimes I will go get a really greasy fattening burger... and chow down on it... and think!! I don't have a partner ..to keep myself in shape.for

.. can I have a side of onion rings and a strawberry milkshake too please ...lol

Dude.
Dude.
You could eat a hella lotta burgers/fries/shakes
before that body goes anywhere..
