Welcome, i'm glad you decided to join us :)
 
I'm from Lexington, Ky and I'm 23 years old as of today. I'm married with 2 kids and I'm a stay-at-home mom. I've lost touch or feel awkward around all of my friends, and have trouble meeting people who I don't feel awkward around. Half of my family and I don't speak because of something awful my father did, my mom is adopted and her parents long dead with nothing but a foster brother and a cousin. And my step-father's family is a bit stuck-up...you walk on eggshells all the time. So I have no real family, only a few very busy friends, and mostly and argumentative toddler as my main source of "social time." I am very lonely and while I get along with my husband, he works a lot and it gets old sometimes, having your man be your only friend too. Sorry, this wasn't meant to be such a rant. But this is why I'm here.

Hi everyone my real name is Colin. I am from Glasgow in Scotland. I am 39 just about to turn 40. I am in a relationship but still feel lonely with hardly any close friends apart from my fiancee.

good wishes to everyone here I feel less lonely knowing there are others in the same boat.

Hi, Colin! I am going to be 39 next week and Glasgow is one of my absolute favorite cities. I've spent a good deal of time there and I miss it. I have some great friends there that I've met through music (we're all big glasgow indie fans) and stay with when I can afford to travel. My ex is Scottish (fr. Stirling), so my son is "American made w/Scottish parts" as a bib he once had says!

Funnily enough, I'm always thinking my life would be so much more full if I lived in Glasgow--I guess it's time to face facts that it's something deep inside my brain and geography is just royal icing.

Welcome.
 
i'm jodie, im 16 in a couple of weeks. i hate being a teenager because im only now finding out who i am.. all my friends go out drinking and stuff but that isnt what i do, so i stay in because every time i go out i make a fool out of myself :/ i'm usually the more careful one.. i recently broke up with my boyfriend after a year, but now even though all my friends enjoy being single because they can go out and do what they like, i hate it. i hate being on my own. but relationships just hurt too much, so even though its the summer holidays i've been stuck in my house with nothing to do :( i have let boys get the best of me, and i let all my 'friends' walk all over me :/ i dont want to do it anymore.. but i cant find any people i enjoy spending time with.. :/ this sounds pathetic because im only young, but im scared to be alone when i grow up, though. - if we're all alone, then we're all together in that, too.

Heya, I´m 16 years old boy living in sweden, I accedently stumbled upon this forum but it seems like something to be part of : D
I wish I´d be more social, My life filled with stuff making it hard to know how to run into new people. I like to talk and laugh but most of the time I get so nervous on how/what to talk about I forget everything and don't know what to say at all... I´ve had some rough times in my life but that's past and I don't care how messed up I might have become (though it might be an imagine that its what caused it). Mostly I think I isolated myself from everyone else out of shyness and now I´m stuck but I so want new/more(!) people to talk with.
(sorry for the confusing text, I hopp you understand some of it ^^)
uhm, nice to be here by the way :)

I am alone for the first time in 32 years. My husband passed away 5 years ago. My children are grown. My daughter is I don't know where, telling me via email she would be happy if she never saw me again. My son just married, and is busy with his new life. I work from home. I don't have any friends to talk with. I anxiously look for people to talk to in my apartment complex, but I don't seek them out, just happy to exchange hello's with someone. I don't want to live like this.
 
Hey there, and welcome to the forum. :)

I'm in GA also, by the way. Has it been hot enough for you? :p
 
Welcome Artifical :)

That is a great book ScoutFinch, welcome to the site.

On the surface i have everything. good job, another contract job, finishing another degree soon, already taking extra subjects for next degree, a few good investments, a fantastic wife, car, house etc. but inside me the loneliness, which has always been there never stops growing.

Loneliness (in my case, i believe) is not a function of not being with people, but a state of mind, one i have been unable to escape since my early youth. Perhaps a result of personality or whichever other cruel twist of fate. Nonetheless, words are fleeting and the gnawing hole inside remains.

This part of me i am forced to hide. a few years ago i failed to conceal it, resulting in my being sent to a mental institution which did nothing to help this "alter-ego" and left only bad memories and irreparable stains. In quiet desperation i live on with this burden on my mind, this everpresent unwelcome friend i do not want and wish i could expell.

Joining this forum is an attempt to give these fiends inside a voice. to let them speak somewhere where they may be heard, yet still disappear in a vastness of similar voices drowning out any effects they may have.
 
Welcome Aiolos, i hope the forum is of some aid to you.
