Lonly

Post Reply New Topic

I went out to the bowling alley last night. I saw a bunch of things that would have been fun if I'd had somebody with me. Pool, bowling (I love bowling.) But alas I was alone, like always. I went to check out the arcade but they had no games for adults. I played a round of pool by myself, that's not much fun.

But that's my life. There is no one in it and I don't know how to change that. I wish I did. I have asked the librarians if there are any books clubs in my area. There aren't. And I'd always heard the grocery store is a good place to meet men, but not in my neighborhood. The only single man my age I've ever seen alone at the store was making dinner for his girlfriend that night.

I use to play trivia once a week but my hours got changed at work. The guys never expressed any interest in hanging out with me after the game anyway. I always tried to express a genuine interest in D&D, but I was never invited to play. And the one guy I asked directly if he wanted to hang out got interested in paying his tab and left real fast. it was weird fr a couple of weeks after that. I never brought it up again.

I use to go to karaoke every week to but the good DJ quit and the young guy attracted a crowd of trashy young people so I quit going to that. And my broke ass can't afford to take any classes. Never met anyone I could talk to there anyway.

And I tried. Before the good DJ quit I tried to talk to a guy with a panda bear hat but he got cock-blocked by his friend. This guy was really loud and right in my face. I really couldn't handle that! I had to run away. Some other girl got to him before I could make a second attempt.

And I asked out a cute little lawyer I knew from trivia, he said yes then never called me. I'd hoped to be able to talk to someone at the Bowling alley, but they all looked to young, and they were traveling in packs anyway. I can only handle one on one.

I just wish I had some one to talk to. To hang out and do things with. I have board games I've never had a chance to play and I am so f*****g sick of solitaire! I just wish I had someone in my life besides my mother. (who can't bowl anyway, she's disabled.)

Yep, loneliness can be a difficult thing to deal with. But you should be proud that you at least go to a bowling alley, trivia, karaoke etc. I've just given up completely and I don't even try anymore.

Sorry you're finding isolation difficult. I am there myself and it's not great, but I'm sure if you persist you'll find a friend eventually. Don't give up and continue putting yourself out there.

I'm back to the lonely part myself.

My last outlet of socialization just kind of died over the past few weeks. It was gaming, primarily D&D 3.5 with friends, but it got too stressful. It was the only place I was having meltdowns at.

I live far enough away from family they aren't an option. Most of the local trans support group are idiots so I avoid them. All of my interests except the role play gaming stuff requires no one else other than me. I have two friends I can see, but one is on travel all the time, and the other works nights and except for a few hours on the weekend if at all, can I see him. I have one coworker who is a friend, but we live an hour plus apart so it's not convenient to just go hang out.

Feeling lonely wears on you. I wish I could find a solution to it, but I haven't yet.

Don't worry allot of us here know that feeling, I myself am incredibly lonely right now and trying to change it, trust me haha its not easy but allot of people feel the same way dw your not the only one, hooe you feel better soon

Loneliness is like a fog whether I'm with people or not--like a solitary rain cloud over my head sometimes.

I guess we all can be lonely together.

Sorry to hear about your loneliness. I wish I had a solution for you.

If you were in FL we'd hang out.

I suck at bowling though and the one time I tried Karaoke people were on their knees with bleeding ears O.o

Joined meet up.com. turns out there is a science group I Dalton. Only most haven't been on the site this year. The last meeting was April first and only 2 people went.
I sent a private message to a guy who looked about my age. Now I wait...

There was lots of stuff in Chattanooga and Cleveland but I don't have a car. But my boss is behind on my checks. She pays me twice a month, 2 weeks each pay period, but most months are longer than 28 days so over times it's gotten behind. The labor board is involved now and if I get the three months she owes me all at once I plan to buy a cheap used car. But for right now I am limited in where I can go. (And if I can get my car I'll be able to look for another job!)

I'm lonely myself. Going to college is such a pain when you see people laughing with others they have known for years. I feel you there. We all feel you there. some nights I tend to not cry myself to sleep for every time I had a hard time being lonely. Thank mankind for music, and gaming.

I have been feeling pretty lonely myself lately. I think it probably has a lot to do with the fact that my birthday is coming up pretty soon, and I get like this every single time it seems. And, I live on the backstretch of nowhere. My library is lame too, and it's only just around the corner from where I live. Even the groups in my area on Meetup are lame. So believe me, you are not alone in being lonely. I have some board games I wish I could play with someone too, I have a Star Wars Trilogy Trivial Pursuit game and a Star Wars Episode I Monopoly game as well as regular editions of those and also a deck of Uno cards. My mom has gotten to the age where she doesn't want to do things like that anymore, plus she is disabled as well. I like doing the bowling, playing pool, and arcade games too, there's a place called Funtown here in McDonough no more than 5-10 minutes from home, but I haven't been able to get myself to go there yet, even though I do drive. And besides, where's the fun in doing those things by yourself? Sigh. Halfmadgenius, feel free to chat me up whenever you feel up to it, I'll talk to you.

atleast you are able to hold a job halfmadgenius
i cant hold any type of job
i get bullied severely

Yes. I can hold a job. But I often wonder what the point is. I go to work then come home and sleep then do it again. Why? What am I working for? I have no children. No husband. No friends. What's the damn point of working myself to death to make a living when I have nothing to live for?

What do you do?

It's a heckuva lot better than NOT making a living.

I can completely related Halfmadgenius. Sure it's great to been employed full time, but it seems like I am just doing the same routine over again, especially when my work is easy and not stimulating at all. It doesn't help that I am a 'giver' and I love kids but without a female or any friends in my life it's all irrelevant. The only thing keeping me going is knowing how many things in life I had to fight and suffer for and that this is probably no exception.

Just remember, a wise man (Jean-Paul Sartre) said that "hell is other people."
