Loneliness

People never want to admit that their lonely.

Some people say it's a choice and I say just say you feel lonely. It's a human feeling.

I have been trying to understand why I don't fit in with many people. Sometimes I think I'm from another planet because I feel alone in a crowd of thousands.

Everyone is lonely sometimes. hug I too just accept it as part of being human.

I don't know why most of us feel so isolated in everyday life, though. It seems like we've sort of forgotten how to connect to each other. Or never knew.

That makes sense. I think it helps to remember that we all want and need the same things. Those are some things that are common ground and connect us as humans.

Loneliness is a human condition...there is nothing or no one that will make it go away...it's a feeling...feel it and let it go...


as for feeling alone in a crowd, I can totally relate there...

i am very lonely...

i have been told repeatedly over the years that you should not define yourself by wether or not you are in a relationship, but i can't help it.

i have more freinds than i know what to do with, but i do not have a man.

a lot of this i am sure stems from the fact that i am very very shy about asking someone out, and out of fear of rejection choose to let them ask me out. what can i say? i am clinging to the knight on a white steed fantasy...

He'll come. The situation you describe was very much how I felt for a long time. My knight came along eventually (in fact I'd known him for a while but never had the nerve to ask him out - thank god for alcohol!) and loneliness is a thing of the past. Don't give up, you sound far too nice to be alone for too much longer.

"The last philosopher I call myself, for I am the last human being. No one converses with me beside myself and my voice reaches me as the voice of one dying. With thee, beloved voice, with thee, the last remembered breath of all human happiness, let me discourse, even if it is only for another hour. Because of thee, I delude myself as to my solitude and lie my way back to multiplicity and love, for my heart shies away from believing that love is dead. It cannot bear the icy shivers of loneliest solitude. It compels me to speak as though I were two." - Nietzsche

thanks new hunk. it's nice to know that the dream does come true.

it doesn't help that my last bf really traumatized me pretty severely and forever altered my life. my therapist keeps telling me that my innner self really doesn't want a boyfriend, that i just need to spend this time and recover from the derek experience, which will take some time.

but time i no longer have in abudance. i need someone while i am still around, while i am still healthy and alive. a husband and kids are the only things i have ever really wanted and the only thing i have never really gotten. and now to add the pressure of racing against the clock makes it even more frusterating.

I think fear of rejection is a big part of why we are isolated, and not just from romantic relationships. We do all want the same things, but we're not sure that anybdy wants them from US, so we don't offer our selves/friendship/love to others.

Just having the guts to say, "I think you're cool, wanna spend some time together?", when the other person might say, "uh, no thank you" is so, so hard sometimes. sad

I love this. Nietzsche was a genius but Jim Morrison taught me that. Thanks for this post, Ice, it's right on.

Thanks guys. It's not easy being lonely, and the gay scene isn't always the friendliest place in the world if you're single, so I just wanted to give cborg a big virtual hug.

As a guy, it's like be strong and don't show weakness. That's conditioned into us but you're right AppleKisses, it's the common connection that makes us all humans.

I've never seen this thread before and I think some people on the Org are lonely.

Actually I met my current boyfriend while i just abandonned all hope for really meeting a nice guy. I just had a attempt go all wrong and I didn't want to be with anyone. I was enjoying being alone. But at a newyears'reception was ready for bigtime party; loads of wine and acting silly. i bumped into him in the café tarted talking about all kinds of stuff. I forgot I hadn't eaten and we both were quite drunk and causing a bit of a scene kissing eachother for everyone to see nuts
But we're still together, being very serious about it, and the litle daughter is very cool; waking us up in the morning singing very loudly at 7 a.m. :0)

Quick thought: it's very possible to still feel lonely while in a relationship. I certainly did in my last one. Having a significant other is not a cure for loneliness, but finding true love is...

My friend was married - shortly; and they had a litle daughter. she was only 6 months when they seperated; so she isn't confused when she sees her dad with me instead of with the mom.
I ended up with him when I accepted going through life alone. so; you really never know.
