Tonight there is a documentary on BBC1 called The Age Of Loneliness. Last year apparently half of all UK adults said they were lonely. A recent news story was about loneliness being bad for teens health. Science is figuring out that loneliness is extremely very bad for your health and increases...

It is only a few weeks until I am homeless now. Something strange happened, I can well imagine sleeping in a shop doorway. Freezing cold, hungry, thirsty, alone, scared. I can imagine it because I was thrown out at 15 and spent my first full night on the streets at 16. It was horrible. I went...

I think it is quite hard to find anyone who truly understands. But that is understandable. We don't want to believe such situations arrise where all hope is gone. That is dangerous, we survive precisely because of hope. But such a situation has come about for me where there is no hope, and there...

Hi ALL and happy Christmas all. I just need to rant or express myself or something. I am of course alone for Christmas. No cards, no presents no one to talk to. I am also looking at eviction in the new year so I have a future on the streets to look forward to. I am estranged from my family and...

Men have problems they go to jail. Women have problems its because they happen to have run into a man who has problems because no one will help him because the feminists declared them evil and the sole cause of their own problems. The curious upshot of this? The US is is now the country where...

I got nothing. Nothing at all. Not one person could ever like me. No one ever loved me. I stay in on my own 24/7. I had cause to go outside yesterday into town. all the people. They are alien to me. I cant even imagine what it is like to have a real conversation with another human. There is...

There is a news story on RT now that since Corbyn was elected, people are rediscovering Marx, with bookstore owners selling out of Captal and other books on Marx. In the US you have Bernie Sanders. I find we may be in the midst of a paradigm shift, with the likes of Bill O'Riely seeming like...

I am not sure if I have attempted this topic before on this forum or another. But I have for a number of years wanted to become a mostly vegetarian but I am finding it hard. Firstly the prepared vegetarian stuff in supermarkets (ready meals etc) are f*****g horrible. So I have been trying to...

Tell us about yourself. Why are you lonely? What are your hopes and dreams?

Hi I thought Id kick start this years Christmas loneliness thread a bit early. I'll be alone. Family are going to a big meal at a restaurant. I'm not welcome. There's a possibility of homelessness too. So I might spend it under Chelsea bridge or something.

I remember when I was a kid we were told about this thing the Americans had called 'The Internet'. It made us promises. We were promised the following; 1) Easy access to porn 2) We could all work from home and be our own boss 3) Democracy would reign supreme because we could organize globally...

I deliberately keep away from my parents. I would rather spend christmas alone that with them. Growing up it was a typical patriarchy, rule was backed up with violence. Difference not tolerated. They could be mean at the best of times; the coldness forced the siblings to compete against each...

The UK is a hostile place for single over 30's. Discuss.

It is extremely uncomfortable to be without them. That's all.

It is occurring to me to starve myself, take to my bed and just let my body shut down. It is not clear to me what else is to be done with this hollowed out husk of a carcass. Solutions are absent; darkness and despair omnipresent. I failed at life. Or it failed me. Both are could be true and...
