Is there anyone out there?

Hi,

I'm new here and feeling pretty lonely tonight. It would be nice to get to know some of you on here. :shy:

Hi! Welcome!
I cry a lot!

constant stranger · Apr 10, 2019

Hi, Bluesunshineday. I don't cry. I've repressed it for many years.

Bluesunshineday · Apr 11, 2019

Hi Constant Stranger,

That's actually really sad that you have repressed the ability to cry. At the risk of being sexist - can I ask if you are male or female?

Hello ahsatan,

I cry a lot too! Not as much as when I was younger, but still, a lot!

constant stranger · Apr 11, 2019

Yes you can ask. I'm an aging single male. And I am in touch with my feelings. I tell myself that I express my feelings by the action some shrinks refer to as sublimation....I know that I could be deceiving myself about how effective that is. Nevertheless I functionally live through the years. Not very happily I'm afraid.

Bluesunshineday · Apr 11, 2019

Functioning just isn't enough though is it? Has you r life always felt like this?

My life used to be so much better, which in some ways makes this 'survival mode' so much harder to bear, but in some ways it makes it easier - at least I had a good time in the past!

Getting up, working and going to bed lonely and feeling like a loser - that's all I seem to have now.

Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

constant stranger · Apr 11, 2019

Yeah you can ask. I'll be 66 on my next birthday.

I look back to a happier past myself. College in the '70's and a boyhood before that.

Your daily life description seems something like mine, in essence.

Our journeys aren't over.....so I tell myself. We ought to be able to do better.....

I agree...our journeys are NOT over. I sometimes feel like I am on a break from life...but I don't know if I'll ever get back in...
So, how will we do better??

constant stranger · Apr 11, 2019

There's no short, easy answer to that is there? We can keep talking it over, maybe sort things out.....
Then make it effective in real life.
I inch along, step by step. I'm doing better now than I was a few years ago.
Had a lingering distraction in the matter of a difficult responsibility for quite a while. But that recently ended.

Is there anyone out there?
