never felt lonely in my entire life until a little while ago
damn
its not a good thing

i feel lonely all the time but ive got one really good friend, his girlfriend and then some other girl who's been hanging with us recently. Im usually at home though. i like being alone but not being lonely. not even sure if that makes sense...

as far as actual relationships go, im not all that interested in one. If it happens, it happens. im content in that aspect of life just the way it is. at least for now.

is hiding in my room feeling lonely considered a social life?

I have a few people i message on fb but i miss actually speaking thouh i feel bad about speaking and am afraid i'll upset someone.

I text girls for a while, but usually ends in them losing interest or getting irritated i ask questions too much, which i do to try to figure out stuff to talk about. how am i just surpose to know topics?

as for going out of my room well theres a long list of compounding logical depressing reasons that lead to no motivaion and fear of going out. so i get yard time ever 3 months in the form of a seasonal job. kinda wish i could have a bathroom and kitchen inside my tiny room its lonely in here.

Does there happen to be a "hey, would you want to hang out, sometime?" 'thread that exists somewhere, on WrongPlanet, by chance?

I ask, because, I've come across a couple of people who seem like good humans, and could be nice to get to know (a particular participant, of this thread, in fact). How does one appropriately initiate such an inquiry? Not all, are here for that particular reason, obviously. . .

Social life? I play trivia once a week, that is the extent of my social life. The rest of my free time I spend with my mom or with my cats. I don't even know how to meet people. I always dreamed of having a husband and kids some day but online dating has been a dead end.

pretty much alone, go to work, go back to mall, watch a movie, walk back home, sleep. rinse and repeat. my social life exists on the internet.

I am mainly into sugar dating as I am professional with a graduate degree making a good income. I have met several of them off this one Sugar Dating site and it has been successful but drain on my bank acct. I have not been successful with traditional dating.

@Derek281: isn't that kind of like paying for sex? I mean, they're faking it anyway, aren't they? If they appear like they may love you.

...and, my social life, currently? It was usually only when I'm really desperate that I went to this religious open house thingy for company (despite me being irreligious), and yep... been like that since he left me...

After like 5 years of dry non-social life, I've finally got a new social life. I am going out with 2 groups, one a common interest made us and the other a group introduced by a young lady she had interest in me, her friends.

But the more I hang out with them, the more they (some of them) tell me I am different, duh, I am rediscovering my case.

it's not great, but I have a couple close friends on campus that I usually hang out with. I have a couple at home as well (i'm a college kid). Popularity is overrated, as long as you are happy with yourself that's what matters. If you aren't happy, then do something to change it. I know it's hard but you won't regret it.

Outside of my family, it isn't very good right now... Once on campus, I can kinda be a bit more sociable, though.

On Friday nights, I go to a game shop and play in tournaments of Magic: the Gathering. There are a bunch of guys who do that and while calling them friends might be too strong of a word (I only interact with them then), I do talk to them there and online a little. That's pretty much it. Saturday and Sunday I usually just hang out and home and Monday - Thursday I go to work and come home from work.
