So I have two pretty decent friends. However, like all friends, they have other friends. The problem... I often feel like I am not their #1 friend... and sometimes I get pretty sick of it. Friend #1 Sara: Sara used to work with me. Now she only works in the same building. She is friends with...

So I just moved into a condo and there was an opening on the board of trustees and I put my name in and got elected ( I am the only one that applied). So I anticipate getting to meet all of my neighbors that way. However, oh noooo, immediately one of the trustee's came over and went on for two...

I have had a job for 10 years. Still have it. Prior to getting that job, I never really had too much of a problem getting a job. Especially if I was over qualified. For about the last 3 years I have been actively looking for a job... and it has been a complete disaster. I get no place. Most...

Do you travel? Alone? Do you like it? I stopped traveling after a trip to Chicago in 2012. It wasn't really that I consciously thought about it, nothing kind of floating my boat. Also, typically I take a flight in the late morning to avoid weather trouble, but, trouble we got and we had to...

I have two friends... I wouldn't call them good friends but they are kind of the most special in my zone right now. Lisa: a co worker at work... she probably doesn't seem to hear 1/2 of what I say. In a good way. Anything that I probably will regret saying she seems to not hear ... seriously...

Ahh can there be any worse day for the lonely and or childless... I hate this day. It started as 'take your daughter to work day' then, it was 'take your children to work day' then it became, take any child that you can, to work day. And pretty soon it is a free for all. I mean... if there was...

Ok I have taken my fill of complaining about being lonely and now I kind of feel like doing something about it... but of course.. have no clue what exactly to do. I was wondering if anyone had some concrete - well thought out-- ideas. I admit, I don't. But I throw it out to you.

I hope no one minds me breaking this down by age but I thought there are sometimes specific issues related to certain age. I am 43 and it is getting very tough. First... EVERYONE at work is married or has kids. So I have lots of friends but on the weekend... they have stuff to do. Second, if...

All I have left of my immediate family is my brother. And the non immediate family, cousins etc. Any every single one of them is bad for me. My brother is the worst. As a child he is probably the biggest reason for any self esteem issues. But as an adult we all decided that we should be...

I think that is why I joined this site. During the week I can hardly keep up with my social responsibilities. I frankly get annoyed when my friends (some who may post on message boards) post a lot during the week and I don't get to participate. I leave for work at 7 AM and get home at 7 PM...

Just wondering if anyone else has symptoms like being tired all the time / having leg aches/ anxiety. For years now, years... I have complained to my doctor about being tired... to tired to really do that much most nights after work. She went on about what she could... first, depression...

I tend to have a recurring problem... I don't initiate friendships because I am too shy / terrified to target someone and try to make friends with them. With that, I also do have a bit of an issue even deciding who would be a good person to make friends with. It is very hard for me to...

So I moved from my small 600 square apartment oh I was going to be able to do this or that... I was going to have friends over.. I was going to entertain.. I was going to get furniture... people would love me... and while some have some have come over I can't escape the unmistakable conclusion...

So I have a friend. She is 10 years younger than me. Two years ago she graduated from school and turned her mind to getting married. No boyfriend mind you. See her parents are obsessed with her getting married and weirdly.... instead of rebelling she felt pressure to do so. She is not ugly but...

So I have come to determine I would like a roommate. Well, I don't really want one but I can't pass up the money one could bring in. Also I would like to have someone to alert the authorities if I were to not come home. I have decided I probably will not do this unless I lose a job. But I...

I actually don't think that I am either. But I suppose what I have is a tremendous need for people to listen to me and talk about things that are happening to me. Or what I find, is that I can't get people to really listen to me... or, if I do, they eventually get sick of listening to me. This...

- Running Errands - Sitting on the couch watching TV. - Surfing the internet. Lonley? Everyone else in the world things so.

Yeh... there is one test to see who is a friend and who isn't... moving. Next week I am moving to a new place. I thought three things: - my brother, who's is family, and has an SUV -- would do something, even minor. Like come over to visit and help me with heavier things. He is unemployed. That...

Hi all, I checked out the board and thought I would post. I am 41, female, and work at a pretty good job. And I guess I have friends, and I guess I would be considered "decently" popular... but I still feel lonely. Hope this community helps.
