Hi, I'm new, hello everyone
I'm feeling shy, even posting here, about my loneliness.
I very rarely talk about my loneliness to anyone, and to very few people, when I do, I usually end up crying, so it has to be someone really close, like my mom for example. I avoid talking about it to much because I feel like I will be a burden.
I've been lurking around here while waiting for my activation mail, and I see that I can openly talk about loneliness here and all the feelings and thoughts that come with it. It is unusual, in a positive way
I really can't understand why I haven't thought about it before, going on a forum where people have experienced the same loneliness as I have, but I'm glad I finally did
What I found relieving was the threads about thoughts people go through, and I thought I was the only one having those thoughts and feelings! I guess that's what many lonely people also think, that they're the only ones with those thoughts and feelings. One example is "there must be something seriously wrong with me" or "am I a bad person". (Not that I was glad that other people were going through the same, it actually made me cry because I feel for you)We're lonely but not alone in our loneliness.
I feel like this can be my safe haven where I can share these things.
