I was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue and if you've found a solution, please help!
I'm 26, I've been single for a long time and I am very lonely. There's nothing wrong with me (but I'll tell you otherwise when I'm feeling depressed of course) so I don't know why men don't want anything other than friendship from me. I've been told that I'm pretty, I even get hit on sometimes eventhough it never leads to anything. I have no problem making friends but all my friendships are superficial - they couldn't care less if I vanished today so I kind of feel lonely for companionship all the same. I have a job, a loving family, etc.
And I am grateful for all I do have, so please don't take this as me whining. I try really hard to be happy, be positive, distract myself with hobbies, being healthy, volunteering, making new friends.
But at some point, it all becomes so meaningless. Do you ever feel that way? Like there's no motivation to wake up and go about your day. You just feel so insignificant. Everything you do seems so pointless. You feel like eventhough you're doing a whole bunch of stuff, like it doesn't matter if there's no one to share it with.
If any of you have figured out a way to be excited about life despite feeling lonely, please do share.
