Even though I need alot of time on my own and have a low tolerance for socialization, I do get lonely often enough. Seeing or hearing about other people enjoying the company of others is something which triggers loneliness for me.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Oddly, I'm fine when I'm by myself, but when I see others, I get a desperate need to have someone to confide in.

you have friends here my man. you'll learn a lot of skills here. don't be afraid to ask. you're in a safe judgment-free zone.

Not necessarily. They're pretty selective about that sort of thing around here. Some people are allowed to be down and talk about it, whilst others can express the same feelings and be ignored, or told shut up and pull themselves together.

I feel this too. Everytime I watch romantic films or comedies
I feel sad because it's heartbreaking to realize that how many
beautiful memories I had missed out, and my story may never
relate to others'.

All of you write such sense, I too drink - to drift off. Am married tho can be tricky.

The dog thing works, taking our cute dog to the dog area gets me talking to cuties. However these last couple of months its generally devoid of people at my appointed hour ........uh oh?

I seldom admit to loneliness, isolation perhaps. Yet my interests and reading probably guarantee that.

Being maudlin and self piteous now - I remember maybe twenty five years ago at least, an aunt of mine say that over the years they had all spent so much time together on the beach with my two scrumptious girlie cousins, we would then be nineteen say. I'd been shifted 120 miles away age 7 so had no access to that world. Where we went to was unbelievably remote, backward and isolated. My father was a dickhead. The realisation that I missed out on all that really cut into me and I've never been able to forget it. I never socialised or related to any girl till I stumbled upon my 'wife to be' when I was aged nineteen. We are all fifty now and I doubt we'll ever meet agn. Oh well.
