How can we help those here to better heal their loneliness and recover or make new friendships? Just wanted to get any creative ideas flowing.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I think sites like this and others are effective enough as they are. It gives people a place to go with like minded individuals they can talk to that get them. People who understand what they are going through. Without that I shudder to think what would happen to society as a whole. At least we know we are not alone out there, even when we feel so alone.

Sci-Fi summed it up for me. I've found this site great as it is. I've made a couple of friends that I share e-mails with from time to time and appreciate the things they have to say to me. I've seen things said that I strongly agree with completely and others I just as strongly disagree with. I've had encouraging feedback from other contributers via pm and I've tried to do the same myself. My mind has opened up a lot during the last few months as I've come to see that I'm "not alone in my loneliness" and I've felt encouraged to change my life.
Things are better now than they were just a little while ago- I know it's not because of any magic being here on ALL but the genuine moral support here is uplifting. There was even a brief "flirtation" with someone that made me feel........desirable? Whatever it was it did rekindle feelings that had been dormant for awhile and when my ex (I guess that's not-ex now) opened the door I went through it.
Just a couple of months ago there wasn't a happy place for me, now I have a more optimistic outlook. Thank you everyone for your contributions on this forum- its given me food for thought whether I agree with what you say or not.
So sayeth me

So why become happy if you are around another miserable person? This forum kind of reminds me of a manga I read called Confidential confessions. It is a set of short really sad stories. Anyway in the first one there is a girl who is lonely and depressed. Then she meets a girl who cuts her self. This girl introduces the other girl to cutting herself. Over time they eventually grow close. To the point of where they decide to make a suicide pact. Of course they did all the stuff they wanted to do before they died. However, the main character got cold feet when the time came. Because in the end she only wanted a friend.
I am sure that happens to plenty of people on here. We just do not see it. Everyone starts out miserable and buddy buddy. Then suddenly one changes and a friendship ends. I feel that places like this are really a terrible place to be. Like I said people are forced to change or die if they are forced into a corner. That is why we need places like this to go away.
groups, forums, whatever only encourage people to suffer. They also encourage people to cause suffering. Who is to stop someone from joining this forum and being mean? Yeah the mods can ban them if they break rules. However, what happens when there are no rules broken?
Either way this forum can be more effective by not being here.
only way that I can really see it being effective at all.y
