True life stories.

So Lonely

Why do I feel so alone and lonely all the time? I have a loving husband, I have 2 lovely kids, I have a close but small extended family and I have a friend. So why am I lonely? I really honestly feel as though I am totally alone. No one understands or cares. I fear other people so the walls go up. Its almost as if I wanted to be alone and set out to acheive it and now that I feel like I am alone I hate it!! How do I become part of things again? What can I do to be socially aceptable? How on earth do I make friends with strangers? Other folk can do it - I know, I've seen them! How do I learn to live with the empty, lonely feeling?

Hi there, I totally understand what you are going through. Even though you have family around you and a friend, it doesnt necessarily mean that they understand you needs fully. You sound as though your emotional needs are not being met and you feel alone because of this and looking for someone who you can have a good conversation with. I am the same, I have an husband who is very quiet or doesnt speak much at all, so i feel alone too. We become just a wife or just a mother and we lose the person we really are and the person that makes us feel alive again. I would join up with a local group of some sort, what do you like doing, dancing, art, walking, keep fit, where you can meet others to have a chat with even if its one evening a week, so you get something to look forward to.
