This thread is related to my earlier thread, "I think about you guys so often :)" Sometimes, like today, my loneliness due to my ongoing lack of a special companion in my life is harder to cope with than other days. I have so much love to share, and no-one to share it with. I feel so alone...

Thought you guys might like to hear something I've been working on today. I'm a bit of a drum'n'bass addict, and I often hear a pop song which I think would sound great with a drum'n'bass "remix". I'm not a professional audio engineer - I just enjoy playing around with GarageBand. When I say...

Thank you, the lurk, for sharing this great video with us in the Essential Articles forum. Unfortunately, this forum doesn't allow replies, which is a shame, because I really wanted to comment on it! There's a lot to think about in this video, and I think a lot of truth too. Certainly I've...

I'd be interested to hear your opinions of this video: ZrDxe9gK8Gk I have nothing bad to say about it. It's very moving, brings tears to my eyes, and reminds me to be so grateful that I currently have a warm bed and a roof over my head. Who knows - one day in the future, I may be homeless...

(Get your tissues ready, here comes a soppy post :D) I cannot express how grateful I am that this site exists. In the couple of months that I've been here, this has become a very special place for me. When I'm not able to be on the site (ie. because I'm at work), I think about all you guys so...

This is the most tragic story I've read in a long time. This poor girl could have been brought back from the brink of suicide and helped along the road to recovery, if only she'd sought help. (Original articles: 1, 2) If you've found this post through Google, and are feeling suicidal...

It's 2:45am and I'm lying in bed, crying. I've been crying uncontrollably for the last 10 minutes. It seems that every few days, my loneliness builds up to an unbearable level, and I need to cry to release the pain. But tonight for some reason the tears wouldn't come, which is very...

Do you have a song which you can always rely on to uplift you when you're feeling down, even if only temporarily? A song which always fills you with warmth and light, always brings a smile to your heart, even in the darkest of times? A song which you like to play on endless repeat, because you...

Tomorrow morning, I'm probably going to regret posting this, but right now, I need to post it, so here goes. I seriously considered posting this in the diary forum, because I really don't need or want any replies. I just need to dump some of the toxic thoughts that are swirling around in my...

We may be lonely, single, friendless, etc, but that's nothing compared to this guy's tragic condition: I am a 56-year-old man who suffered a catastrophic stroke in June 2005 whilst on a business trip to Athens, Greece. It left me paralysed below the neck and unable to speak. I need help in...

I experience extremely rapid and dramatic mood swings, and I was just wondering whether anyone else here experiences the same thing? It really is quite extraordinary. In the space of half an hour (or even less), I can go from extremely depressed to extremely happy, and vice versa. I feel like...

Lonesome Crow posted this cartoon back in February, but I think it deserves to be reposted: I find it hilarious and tragic at the same time. I watch the spiders spinning their cobwebs around me while I wait paaaaaaaaaaatiently for my next girlfriend...

I'm so glad this forum exists. It's so reassuring to find other people who are in similar situations to oneself, to support each other, to share our experiences and advice. Is there some way that we can support this forum? Maybe send PayPal donations to the webmaster, to help pay for the...

I was on the train, and I noticed a very sweet girl sitting opposite me. I somehow managed to find a way to start a conversation with her (which is always the hardest thing for me to do), and we gradually got into a nice chat. She's currently studying art at a university in London, and I...

(Please don't feel you have to reply to this, but I just need to put some of my thoughts down somewhere.) So, there's this girl. (Classic opening line!) I've known her just as a friend for quite a while, but very recently it looks like things might be moving beyond just friendship. We get on...

Quoted from "Black Belt Patriotism: How To Reawaken America" by Chuck Norris: I don't believe we should ever stop growing, ever stop trying to improve, or ever stop trying to make a difference on this planet. That is why I developed decades ago my "Principles for Life," so I would continually...

Calling all fans of short animated films! I thought it might be fun to start a thread in which we can recommend our favourite films of this genre. I know edgecrusher has already started an anime thread, so this can be the non-anime thread! My first recommendation is Ken Lidster's "Balloon"...

I made this diagram many years ago. Its meaning should be fairly obvious :) I start with the hopeful assumption that there is a lovely girl somewhere out there in the world, who will one day be my lifelong companion. If so, then she must be alive right now, at the very instant that I'm...

Hi everyone, Firstly, many thanks to those who run this website, for providing this space for people to get together and share their experiences and advice. I'm a 27 year old single British guy. I've been single for 6 years now, and I'm feeling very very lonely without having a special girl...
