I haven't posted in this forum in years. I first came here almost 4 years ago when I was at the lowest point of my life. Completely depressed, completely obsessed, and feeling hopeless to change it all. My best friends had ended our friendship. I had no will or desire to see anyone. I had my...

off topic: The "your" instead of "you're" in the title really bothers me. But you know you're feeling lonely when you visit alonelylife to talk to other people feeling lonely.

It's not that I shouldn't reach out. It's that I can't. There is no reaching out. I have been cut off completely. I tried several times to contact him right when the friendship ended, with zero replies. I was in such a deep depression. The friend tried to help. Like really tried. But he got...

It's been forever since I've visited this site, and even longer since I've posted. I just got a text from one of the few people I stay in limited contact with, sharing a link of baby photos. One of my former friends just had their baby pictures taken 2 days ago. I was a groomsmen at his wedding...

Long healthy life is right. You have people like Sylvester Stallone who is closing in on 70 and in better shape than I have ever been in my life. Then you have people in their 60s who can barely function on their own. I'd like to live as long as I can function. But the truth is, the point of...

I think that's where the ambiguity is. You never know if its a one night stand, a fling, or a relationship until after it's happened and run it's course. All three are approached the same way. At least that's how it's been expressed to me.

You went from being scared to send her a facebook request to having the guts to ask her on a what old school people would call a lunch date. Big jump. I hope it went well.

Sounds like you're part of a dying breed of what is now considered the conservative gentleman. Spending way too much time socializing on the internet has shown me that many people in your age group are completely sexually liberated. Dating is becoming a dying trend. Casual sex is becoming more...

Education and life goals is about what YOU want. It sounds you had your mind set on going to a university and getting your bachelors. Don't let the fact that you're friends aren't going to be there stop you from finish your educational goals. In the end you're right btw. Getting a job is tough...

Surround yourself with people. The people you click with will naturally gravitate toward you. Sit next to a girl in your class and talk to her. Ask her for her number, or if you want to be less forward add her on facebook. Then text her or message her. Even if you don't dorm you can still hang...

The thing is, that losing weight can be done by yourself. In a lot of ways it is easier. Eat less calories, and exercise more. You are guaranteed to lose weight. But loneliness requires other people. You can go out and meet people. You can make sure you're always surrounded. But the scary...

I'm a night owl myself. If left to set my own sleeping schedule I'll eventually shift so that I'm going to bed at 3am or later. It can be a curse because loneliness is definitely amplified in the wee hours of the night. I do know a lot of people use the term insomnia incorrectly. When you...

You know I kind of feel like that now? I feel like I haven't lived fully in the last 10 years? When you feel like you're not who you're supposed to be, it's depressing. You have this growing urge for a reset. A do-over. You feel trapped, and have this desire to move far away from everyone and...

I think the only realistic thing you can do is get her around people more. I let myself become very isolated and it is indeed very depressing. Seeing a professional about it, I was suggested to force myself around people. Not that you have to force your girlfriend to go out, but being around...

I think back now and I think one of the biggest things I miss was that nothing was impossible. What do you want to be when you grow up? The president of the united states! The older you get the more you realize "THIS" is your life. Sure you can improve it, and things can get better. But the...

First off, the best thing to do is NOT what you have been doing. After 2.5 years you know it does not work. Pretending everything is fine and that you can just be friends without you saying anything and sitting around hoping one day she'll magically be into you. Not going to happen. You need to...

Congratulations. I hope I one day reach the point you have.

This is unquestionably true. There is no benefit toward experiencing extended lengths of loneliness. It will only make you sad. Stay sad long enough and you'll end up being depressed. Be depressed long enough and the pathways of your brain start changing, and your entire outlook and experiences...

One of these days the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing.

I miss being care free. You have no real worries in life. You lose that innocence as you get older. You're too young to have any real regrets. You're not corrupted by most of the desires like sex, money, and power. You just enjoy every day for today.
