Alone/lonely

[starryeyedgemini]

Does anyone else feel alone/lonely even though they have family and friends around them?

Well I don´t have friends around me, but sure I´m lonely. Do you really like your friends though? When I had friends they weren´t perfect but at the very least we could have a laugh together and that will always be more than enough to me.

I will always feel alone, but rather than a feeling of loneliness instead it is a feeling of emptiness that nothing could ever take away. I find it tiring being around people and I would rather just be on my own. I feel alone in the way that there is nothing here for me in this world and that I do not belong here. I feel trapped with my own thoughts.

I have lots of friends trying to reach out and connect with me but my shame is so deep and profound that I don't want to interact with other human beings unless they are as wretched as I am…. Almost feels like I am attending my own funeral…

Well, there's no perfect anybody in this world, but having friends would be nice I can only imagine. I have no relatives left, so it's me, and just me, 24/7/365, except when I need to go to the stores and have interaction with the clerks. Certainly one of the reasons I will be making my exit. There is no one reason, though. It's the totality of a number of circumstances in my life and where I am at this stage of my life and knowing that nothing will get any better going forward. And I don't want to know what it will be like when the serious older-age health issues start to manifest themselves, which isn't far off. I can't imagine what it will be like to face those alone and have no one to help with anything, and I don't want to find out, either. I must go before that happens and that is what I'm working towards.

No friends, just family. Family situation is a bit complicated.

I used to be okay with being alone, not anymore.
