Feeling lonely

i can strongly relate to you, man! I feel like that too! I think its because I dont love myself enough, i feel disconnected to other person. thats why. I have a watsapp if you are intersted, please let me know I'll add you. We are just 8 poeple. Only 2 others actively talk besides me. We share our burdens and our little victories.

Opposite of addiction is connection! Value yourself more, love yourself more. You first, thats the way. Feel good, do good, man!

 

I felt this type of loneliness before, but only because I cared what people thought of me. However, if you want to meet new people, how about signing up for some kind of class? Yoga, BJJ, shooting range, etc. You'll have an excuse to meet people on a regular basis. And doing an activity together builds bonds. Are you under 35? What about the military? Get fit and get free college. Plus it's a great career.

 

Same feeling, man. I have people that I can talk to about everyday stuff, but not someone on my level. I can't just start talk about rock and metal, cause dudes around me don't listen to it. I want leather jacket and a Harvey Davidson and some tight boots, and then just rock on, but not alone. But with whom?
Yes, man... Yes. They don't get my poems cause they're written in my handwriting. They have their poems and that's the problem. World is small, even if there's millions and billions of people. I guess what works out is time. Patience. But how much do we have?

 

A ha so funny. I like you brother.

 

Ugot facebook groups that share your interrsts. Join and meet them. U got friends as long as u have skmething in common with em.

 

I can relate, especially your line about treading water. I sometimes feel like throwing in the towel and going back to all the “sexual acting out” behaviors I was doing in the past.

But I’ve actually made a lot of progress and it be a shame to go back to those old ways. Also I was headed to some very bad things which I’d no doubt get into if I returned to the old life.

I only have one close best friend and being able to talk to him helps me stay in touch with reality. SAA and the Meetup get togethers help also but unfortunately the casual friendships when I go climbing or bowling don’t extend. I’m still home alone and often out doing things alone.

No I don’t think you’re being silly or dumb. It’s a struggle.

 

even if you did have a best friend what makes you think you will like it either? you will probably still feel lonely. i think what you need is a romantic partner. but that is easier said then done. I guess you have to start doing stuff out of your comfort zone.
