Okay, so my oven door got broken and had to be removed about 3 months ago, and I haven't been able to find a replacement, as the oven model is out of production, so I've been cooking all of my meals on a George Foreman health grill, and to great results. A week before Christmas day I thought...

This year I shall be spending Xmas alone, as I have done for the past 15 years. All my immediately family are dead, and what extended family I have in England don't want to know me. I'm a chronic loner and social recluse. Truth be told, I'm also a bit of a misanthrope. I don't like most people...

Most people who have registered on this site are lonely people and those who are experiencing existential pain. For whatever reason, our individual lifestyles have led to feelings of social isolation and a sense of detachment. Many of us suffer from depression, low self-esteem and social...

So-called "friends" come and go, and whilst many people have life-long friends they can trust and who are loyal, I think most of us have temporary friends; people we hang out with for a while, and who then eventually disappear from our lives for good. Have you ever had a friend who you could...

What follows is a piece I wrote some time ago, in a bid to reassure misanthropes (like myself) that there is really nothing wrong with not liking other people, and that usually it's unavoidable. I hope you enjoy: If you are an honest, decent person it's very difficult not to be a misanthrope...

Is it just my perceptions, or as you get older, people seem to becoming increasingly hostile, aggressive, authoritarian, controlling and evil? Sometimes I think I'm going f***ing nuts.

I've been using this site on and off for a while now. I signed up because I'm a chronic loner and identified with the lonely life theme. This year, like many previous years, I shall be spending Xmas alone. Without wanting to sound whiny or self pitying, both of my parents are dead, I'm an only...

As most people know, it is possible to be alone and not feel lonely. But for chronic loners like myself, who spend literally 24/7 alone, there comes a time when your solitude can creep in on you and threaten to engulf. Christmas is reputed as being a lonely time of year, and if you are like me...

...and life isn't being too much of a b*stard. :)

They're huge! The Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern and Arctic oceans are all huge and incredible. Then there's the seas. They're not as huge as the oceans, but there are a lot more of them; the Laptev (Nordenskjold) Sea, the Barents Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Beaufort Sea, the Chuckchi...

Very small and very tall people scare me. There's something not right about them, their height puts them in the "different" category, and I'm still not sure who scares me the most; the very tall or the very small. Disingenuous people scare the honeysuckle out of me too. You can sense something about...

Too many wankers in this world. "Wanker" is a British word. Look it up, it's a very useful word, and doesn't exclusively refer to someone who masturbates a lot. Although that meaning is there, in the UK it is mostly used to describe a pompous person. Wankers are generally shallow, pretentious...

The world was a kinder, more benevolent place when I was younger, or at least that is how I perceived it. As I reached my thirties I began to detect an unprecedented level of phoniness in people, it seemed as if everyone around me was a total fake and an actor. Then I began to detect not just...

...I am about to meet a group of people who are members of a Hill-walking club in a bid to break out of solitary confinement and enjoy the great outdoors with other people. I'm shitting myself, as I don't know any of these people, and after 15 years of being a chronic loner and living in...

All of my family are dead, I have no friends, I'm a chronic loner who never married and never had kids, I am alone, and have been for many years. I try to eat sensibly and healthily and take regular exercise, but can't seem to shift the pounds. I resist the temptation of using alcohol to cope...

I'm not the most fervent monarchist in Britain, in fact I'm not a monarchist at all. But yesterday as I watched the British Royals celebrate the Queen's diamond jubilee in typical British weather, I couldn't help but notice that the Queen looked rather pale, and thought "How long before she...

To some, the "*******" may be perceived as gratuitous, but I've always found a well placed swear word as lending weight and/or comedy to your delivery. So, how ******* lonely are you today? And what are you doing to cope with it?

I had never heard of George Carlin until a couple of years ago, and discovered him by stumbling upon one of his videos on Youtube. Since then I've watched quite a bit of his material, and the guy was just great. He tackled social, political and religious topics with intelligence, wit, and...

You can see it in his eyes.

The BNP on immigration: "Given current demographic trends, we, the indigenous British people, will become an ethnic minority in our own country well within sixty years – and most likely sooner. All the signs are there: - At least 84 percent – and likely more – of all current UK citizenship...
