Thanks for your reply. Sounds like you are a good player. Unfortunately going to tournaments is not such a good way to meet people, from my experience. When you play someone you can analyse the game afterwards (in a different room) but often there is a large age difference. Also there are almost...

I can definitely relate, Hitch. I have felt that way numerous times. Yeah, sometimes you kind of get into the swing of life, and things are not going too bad, and all of a sudden, wham! You get a bit of bad news, and you are really really down, and you think, oh man, I am really on the ground...

Thank you all very much for your kind replies. They have been read, and they are appreciated. Best wishes to you all. William.

I definitely think that hobbies can help with the problem of loneliness. However, you have to pick the right ones. About 22 years ago, I decided to throw away my TV set, in a serious bid to get more friends and improve my life. I came home from work, unplugged the TV, took the back off, and...

Very lucky with my health, but this is no co-incidence as I have a healthy diet and lifestyle. Job OK, but my job as it currently stands is coming to an end, due to a major computer project which will automate everything. Really in need of a new hobby or two. Very very lonely right now...

Yeah, I am a big supporter of this kind of thing. I write from experience. In my teens, I was physically and mentally a wreck. If you had seen me when I was maybe 17 or 18, you would have put my life expectancy at about 32. I looked terrible. I lost all my friends, and there was no possibility...

Yeah, well maybe I wasn't too serious about clobbering him CatToy, although I would be none too happy if someone tried that. But I guess if you're mates, it can survive something like that. I was quite surprised to find you on this board, CatToy, you sound to me like you've got tons of mates...

Hey CatToy, great post, thanks! Actually that is quite a coincidence, because on my recent Turkey holiday I did actually do a paragliding flight. My highest ever, in Olu Deniz, we went off the mountain overlooking the bay (not quite from the top, due to low cloud), anyways, the launch was from...

I am a hospital porter. I have had the same job for 12 years. Before that I worked for a cable company, for four and a quarter years, but was made redundant. Before that I worked for British Airways for five years, in Revenue Accounts. Bill.

First and foremost, Kale, I am extremely sorry to hear about your physical illness. That is a dreadful situation, and I can only wish you some kind of cure in the future. As difficult as it is, I hope you will continue to take the medicine. I sincerely sympathise with your health situation. I...

I guess you are right. I did expect too much from the holiday. The problem is, when I do expect things, they don't happen, and when I just go with no expectations - they don't happen! Thank you for your kind replies everyone. I am busy right now, but I will try to reply to the other posts...

I think they do. I am a bit guilty of that myself, to be honest. However, I certainly do not think I am above anyone or better than anyone. I see others as people, with their own opinions, their own lives, which are just as valid as mine. It is certainly possible to view oneself as a...

Hi everyone. I have not posted here for a while, but I am glad to see that the board is still in good shape. So anyway, I have recently been on a singles holiday to Turkey. It was not my first singles holiday, but for some reason, I had high hopes for this one. I just had the feeling that...

Thank you all for your kind replies. I appreciate them! Er....no. I would be too embarrassed to try it. I have two left feet, which are also size 14 UK. Thank you for your kind words. I do have a lot of life experience, but I try also to talk in terms of the other person's interests, to keep...

Hi to all on the board!! Best wishes from England. I was pleased to find this site, because I do indeed have a problem with loneliness, and have done for most of my life to date. Funnily enough I get on pretty well with most people. I have had the same job for a few years now, and I work mostly...
