One two three! Awhhhhh... I hope that was funny:) It does really sound like you are doing the best with the situation you have. That is something to be proud of. Have you ever considered online gaming? It has a definite social aspect to it that is greater than forums, because you are working...

Have you tried writing down a list of long term goals on a card? I got this idea out of a career book, but I think it applies to all of life. For example, a few of mine are: Maintain strong mental and physical health. Travel to visit friends and see the world. Retire when I'm 70. The point...

I borrowed it from the library:) You don't have one or don't have access to one where you live? Here's a link to her blog, which gives you an idea of what the book is about. http://www.lonelythebook.com/loneliness-blog/

Has anyone read this new book by Emily White? I just read it last week - I really identified with a lot with her describing emotional versus social loneliness. I think I have a lot more of a problem with social loneliness now (e.g., not having a large social network locally to draw on), but I...

Hi, I was curious how many people on here work from home? I have been doing it for the past 2 or 3 years and it is very isolating for me. I have a good day if I go in to our office and reconnect with people and get a better sense of purpose. Then I have a slow slide of confidence and happiness...

Congrats - going to the gym always makes me feel better. Both from the endorphins and the sense of accomplishment.

Hi SullenGirl - nice to meet you!

Hi all, I just stumbled upon this website this evening. My low-level feelings of loneliness I've had all my life have blossomed now that I work from home. I can go for days without seeing/talking to anyone except my live-in boyfriend. I have a few friends that I'm in touch with on a...
