Will truly understand... so I dedicate this topic page to them to us...
Just like the Roy Orbison song.. Only the Lonely... can truly understand the pain of being alone.. On those nights or days when you can no longer push out the depressing thought that you are alone.. when you can no longer turn your back on your overwhelming need to have someone in your life... anybody, somebody.!. just another human being to make contact with.. just to hear another person's voice... would cause you to drop to your knees and begin to sob gratefully... or just have another person recognize you, acknowledge your existence... You walk along the busy streets but you still feel isolated, alone nonexistent... you quietly whisper inside your own mind it's okay there's nothing wrong with you !you are normal. You try to push back hold off on the tears . The sadness that comes up from within you.. that overwhelming blanket of sadness that covers you, the tells you you are alone... and then there are those days when you have free time to yourself.. yet another day going to the same old places.. they have lost their magic for you ,no longer the adventure they once were... but if only ,you had someone to share this time with someone to share all those amazing places you once enjoyed going to visit.. but you don't have that special someone... so you swallow hard dig down deep.. and take that first step out your front door.. lying to yourself saying to yourself!!.. it's okay! I like spending time with myself..... . Yes only the lonely... will understand The true pain of being alone... This page is for you.. take comfort that you are no longer alone... leave your loneliness here on these pages.. . Dang it!! I should have put this in creative writing.. son of a box of raisins... I don't know how to copy and paste.... I will never remember any of this lol!I will never be able to duplicate this....  . Probably a good thing !nobody reads this s*** anyways...

Ok Doc, very deep and also very true. I have had all those feelings before in my life and when you feel these things it seems everywhere you look there are smiling couples.You keep telling yourself that somewhere out there someone will take the time to see who you really are. People need to remember those times when they finally meet the right person and treat them valuable because they where probably feeling the same way. Great thread PHD!

...only the lonely...dang..I can't say I am lonely,..just alone...constantly surrounded by people..but nobody I enjoy being around...thinking this summer I might just throw caution to the wind and just start walking ...pull a Forest Gump move...only I don't run...yup..just walk comfortably down that lonely highway.....

Wow! I only been single a short time 8 months.. I have felt like that on a few occasions most recently my nieces wedding.. My one daughter was with me and we joked she would be my date, it was cute but a bit uncomfortable with all the family there knowing I'm single... I kinda felt like a reject(I know some of you agree)
 but I felt like a broken toy a kid no longer plays with..and being a bit older the swag of youth no longer filled the ego like it use too.. I mean even the chicken dance had me gasping for air.. and the times when I am out in public and that feeling of a isolation from reality would start to overcome.. I just would reach out to anyone to start a conversation or small talk anyone seemed to help.. I am active in a program that helps take the focus off of me and helping others.. so that helps.. when feeling I have it bad or I have the "Poor Me" it's not hard to look around and see others who have it much worse than I do and that seems to get me right size.. One of my Favorite sayings is "I use to complain about not having shoes.. Then I saw a man with no Feet" I will admit I miss the physical closeness of a woman not even the just the boinking, but the touch the deep emotional contact that we would share.. that passes.. I try to remain positive and find humor in things.. which also helps the only thing I can say is them feelings of being not wanted and lonely and a reject have to cast out of my mind at all cost.. because that is what I will become physically.. Thanks for your Post! I enjoy seeing you in the forums  Always Good stuff |

Hmmmmm....Well Doc I guess everybody experienced loneliness at some point in their lives of which is just normal...we go through stages and moments in our lives, and we just have to cope up and reach out as well, to keep us in check and in balance... It is a good thing for others who vents out their sadness or loneliness in writing or talking to another person while others don't want to open up and keep it to themselves until it explodes within them (I feel sorry for them)...but hey...Not all days are grey or blue or whatever others would describe it, we just have to be patient and we can also do something about it; either we make a step forward, make a difference, do some adventures, or make some changes with what you routinely do.
Being alone doesn't mean you are sad and lonely coz there are those who have wives or husbands but feels much worse; they may rather choose to be alone even; it is really situational..... So I guess the only thing that can spell HAPPINESS depends on your own self, if you think you need somebody to be with you then try to reach out, if it fails, try again, so what if you try a hundred times, at least you learn and grow from your experiences and become a better person...don't be discouraged by your failures or other's failures...If you're in the medical field then you have more edge coz you have better knowledge about coping mechanisms... Life itself is full of risk and if we don't take that risk, we wouldn't know what lies ahead...it is better to act and be hurt than being passive and then regret later when it is too late... Have a Lovely Day and put on that beautiful smile....

This is beautiful Doc. It really captures the feelings what all of us have gone through at one time or another The ironic thing is that I experienced the feeling you described WHILE I was in an incompatible relationship . In fact, I am actually way less lonely as a single person, than when I was in that relationship. It's one thing as a single person, when you feel the loneliness of not having that special person to hold you and love you as you do the same for them. ... But it's another type of loneliness to deal with as a person in an ill-fitting relationship, when your body is lying next to your partner's body in the same bed, but your minds and souls are continents apart. |

Can't get that song out of my head now ....thanks for that haha!
In saying that, it also reminds me of the first verse of one of my favourite songs The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey, that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright Oh, and that's alright with me |

I don't often feel lonely. The last couple of months it happens more often, but not even once a week. But I do see I have to make sure I go out more. I spend quite a lot of time on my own, cos I don't work. I don't mind being alone, but there is a point where you have to be careful to not become too much of a loner.
When I got back from the USA I did feel lonely. Only been there 12 days, so easy to get used to having company again! So alone, yes, lonely not often. Depressed, well, never say never, but I'm inclined to say never nonetheless Longing for a partner, yes. Not all the time, but the feeling does get stronger now that I've been single for 3,5 years. Someone to cuddle up against, hell yes! |

Yes either it is alone are lonely, sad..
Maybe even self pity.... whatever you call it! it's that feeling you get.. When you find yourself alone once again on the weekend... you leave your house to go to the grocery store to pick up mustard ,even though you have three-quarters of a container sitting in the fridge... or perhaps another loaf of bread because you've only used a quarter of it ,and the remaining three quarters is going green on you .. you really don't need to go, but you can't stand being at home by yourself on another Saturday night.. any excuse to get you out of the house ,to make you feel proactive.. anything to keep you from being at home alone.... you convince yourself that you need to go! it must be done.. anything but admit to yourself that you are lonely... you get inside your car the radio comes on the announcers talking about all the hot spots to go out to on a Saturday night.. all the latest greatest bars full of single people just like you!.. but you are too old for such loud nonsense... besides who wants to go by themselves.,.. you have already been there! done that ! once in your life. Back when you were younger hipper..... no no.. it's off to the grocery store you go.. (maybe, just maybe) you will meet somebody there..mmmm.. on your way, it seems like at every red light you stop at a young happy loving couple pulls up beside you.. you try not to stare at them.. But you do!.. remembering back to a Time you had a partner sitting in the passenger seat beside you... listening to the top 40 list.. laughing with each other.. probably off to some little Bistro.. coffee shop somewhere.. Are you were just simply the both of you.. going to the grocery store to pick up real groceries.. more than just one sad little plastic bag ,containing your excuse to be out on a Saturday night... Only the Lonely will understand... |
