Hello in London,
How great it is to talk to you.
Well, what is the point of a lonely life? It has the same point as a non-lonely life. Life is, I believe, a privilege, an opportunity, etc. Sometimes I just think of not living and what I will miss, mainly the morning. The dead have ceased to experience this life. They may have enjoyed it or it may have been a torture. Either way, there is always something about life that I will miss so why not appreciate what I enjoy, because it won't last long.
I can empathize with you. Have you seen the movie, "Holiday in Venice" or some such title, with Katheryn Hepburn. She is talking to a group of people at her hotel in Venice shortly after arriving. One-by-one they drift off to some destination and although they ask her to come along she replies that she will just stay there and appreciate the scenery. But soon she is alone. She looks slowly around. It is quiet. There is no one around. I have felt that. Everyone else is rushing off in groups and there I am, alone. I have been deserted, abandoned. No one cares about me. I am not in demand, or they just don't think. Nonetheless, I am odd-man-out. Nothing else to do but go to my room and get ready for bed.
The class is over and everyone scurries off. Church is over and groups form and begin chatting; laughing, and I am abandoned. It was OK when the program, class, lecture, play, etc. was in-progress and we were all together but now it is over and the group is dissolving and I have been deserted.
That's what it's like to me.

london lady said:I?m lonely cos I?ve no emotionally intimate relationships in my life ? I never have.
I never let anyone near me ? cos I?ve had emotionally vacant/abusive parents, so I?ve always put up a defence.
This emotional defence ? or social mask has made me feel protected ? but very lonely since I feel that no one really knows me.
I should take my mask off ? but I?ve a fear of rejection and being hurt, I don?t feel people will like accept the real me.
And I?m so used to wearing my social mask that I do it automatically without any conscious effort.
I pretend I?m happy when I?m not.
But I should make a conscious effort to be myself ? and make a real connection with people.
I suppose I feel emotionally vulnerable ? but we all are, so I shouldn?t be ashamed or embarrassed about that.
I?m so lonely cos I don?t feel connected to anyone.
Nobody seems to have time either.
Like I?ve joined evening classes in the hope of meeting people and making new friends ? but people seem to already have their friends and its like they don?t want anyone else coming into their little circle.
I don?t want to seem desperate ? like I?ve to beg someone to give me time.
I find it hard to make friends, people just don?t seem to have the time.
But all I?ve got is time ? weird!!
What is the point of a lonely life?
