Chuckles

Blimey! I thought three-and-a-half years without regular cuddles was bad enough. The trick for both of us will to try and appear overwhelmingly grateful like a dog.

Hello Naleena. Hope your day’s been good? I’ve not long got in from a rewarding day at work and am chilling on here and watching cricket (I won’t even TRY explaining this game to an American; a game where you can play for 5 days and still not get a winner!) Yes, you’re right. This thread is...

Hi there. How ya doin’, Outdoor Girl?  Yes, been lots more positive today, thank you. Having some sleep helped!  Not long been in from work, which was very rewarding – finally getting through to a new client who lives in his own bubble, and just chillin’ in front of the cricket. Yep, I know...

Hi there Kimmy! Yes, already on here it has been uplifting to make actual connection. Must say, I prefer meeting face-to-face to phone or social media because the eyes tell us what the voice and soulless printed word cannot. As a journalist by trade if I want to ‘hear’ what someone is saying I...

Hello Gustavus. Thanks for your reply. Yes, this is always the way. Reading between the lines, it seems like you think the same as me – that everyone else is embraced in ‘normal’ healthy family and friendly social life. Well, I’m not sure that people look out for me any more, now I’ve served my...

Soul medicine? Wow! Haven’t heard that expression for ages. And I’m not likely to these days. I moved 250 kilometres north to Yorkshire six years ago. Although it’s a wonderful place to live, they don’t really do spirituality or depression up here. One man, the life and soul of the village, a...

Hi Naleena, Glad I cheered your day up – and thanks for the big-up about British humour! I've done a bit of stand-up comedy (including the Edinburgh Festival) and one of my own favourite jokes – when I was taking the p*ss out of my lowness – was: "I wouldn’t say I’m depressed, but I’m giving...

Hi there, Outdoor Girl.  Thanks for replying to my post and for your kind words.  I’m glad you got something from the joke! Humour is such a great weapon in the fight against loneliness and depression! Right. A wordsmith is someone whose main tools are words. For example, I have been an author...

Hi Outdoor Girl, I’m sort of half from West Yorkshire. I live in Yorkshire … but in the east. But I do drive. Yes, I know what you means about ‘a lot of my friends are married or with partners and you are made to feel you are intruding sometimes’, especially in very family-orientated villages...

Giggles. Well, the P&O ferry goes past my cottage every hour if that‘s any help!

Ayy-up! I live in Yorkshire, and would like to chat to anyone from up here or one of the neighbouring counties. I am a professional listener by trade, so would give at least as much as I take. I also like a laugh … which makes the current state of loneliness even more unbearable. Look forward to...

Yorkshire … and in my 6 years up here I’ve found that this splendid county is so wonderfully family-orientated that it makes us lonelies even more lonely!

When are people going to realise that a bedroom cuddle and a laugh are far more natural and effective health remedies than any pill or potion? I split from my ex-, the love of my life, over 3 years ago. By this time she had developed a terrible illness which made penetrative sex impossible. We...

Hi. Older is good. I am 54. Not female, though, but here to chat if you wish. There's nowt worse than being ignored.

Good morning, people. This is my first post and I don’t know where to start. All I know is that I have hit rock bottom.  I hope I am a naturally fun but thoughtful human being.  Now, for the first time in my life, I feel as if I have no real friends or family in the world.  Everyone I have...
