Loneliness

Question

Does anyone ever get so lonely? Sometimes, it gets better by doing hobbies but other times, it won't go away. And you feel like you are living with a hole in your heart. And then you desperately look for someone to talk.
Worst case, you go on dating apps and freak out everytime you get a message, like how I got here. I mean I know this is not a dating only app, but still. 
How do you guys cope with loneliness?

June · Answer

I make myself busy as much as I can. Otherwise I'll overthink and feel so lonely. Be strong, find a new hobby or something you care and want to fight for. Sending you love 💚.

Abdul Rahman · Answer

This clinging feeling of loneliness is worst, when you know that no one's gonna be there to support. It dims the joy inside us. I feel so trapped in this, the only thing I feel is despair. Reaching out doesn't help after a while. I really wish you find a way out of it. I know what it feels like.

The only coping mechanism I know is crying.

Richard · Answer

I just talk to myself

My friend once said "at the end, everyone will responsible for his / her own joy".  It's ok to be alone. Try to socialize, and if doesn't work well, you still have your own and God be by your side.

Wizzie · Answer

In addition to what u described, I feel much worse after an endless series of great conversations or amazing dates followed by unexpected ghosting.. it s like loneliness isn t hard enough, u get turned down again and again and again so u grow trust issues and become more skeptic than ever... :(

I think everyone has their own abyss of loneliness and each one of us try to fill it with whatever we think is best. Some filled it with alcohol, women, religion, drugs, food, fashion, literature, men, travels, money, prestige, sweat, tears, anything goes. Some days you win. Some days you sleep on a wet pillow.

John · Answer

Yeah, having at least one person to talk to can be a huge help. Although, at the end of the day most people are craving some physical contact as well. I'm not sure what it's like where you live, but finding a group of people who meet up consistently and joining them can really give you a boost. You never know where those encounters might lead. Take it one day at a time. And don't compare yourself to other people. Just compare yourself to who you were the day before. Those small gains will really add up over time.

Karl · Answer

Coping with loneliness is rough often times, especially under such terrible circumstances. Sometimes the best way to deal with it is to keep yourself busy, but still find time to deal with it and let it out. Apps like these are fun and exciting but unless you make a legitimate connection, they all tend to fade too fast. Best we can do is enjoy ourselves, no matter how little. It ain't much but it's all that we got.

Sasha · Answer

I related strongly to this.. It's tough. I try to do things I enjoy (that don't depend on the input of others) and/or continue the search on apps. Someone tends to pop up while I'm keeping myself busy.

July · Answer

I feel you too :( but so far I'm done with it. It's like you don't know why you suddenly become lonely and tend to push people you know away. You loose interest in something you love before. You're really lonely inside but tend not to show it. You always want to be alone.

Louie · Answer

This a hard one I get the same way sometimes just have to shake yourself out of it and find something you like to keep your mind occupied

Danzo · Answer

Yeah your story is mines. I sometimes just watch news or series and movies to keep my mind occupied it helps a lot.

Angel · Answer

i have to admit i relate... i lost my dog of 14 years and he has been by my side for the entire time. despite the company of three other fur babies, the lack of presance has created such a void of lonliness thats been hard to navigate

Tom · Answer

Just to jump on your piece of loneliness: I had a rough year from 2019 to 2021 where I faced burnout, depression and anxiety. Diagnosed with General anxiety disorder. Through this journey I had face loneliness and many sad truths of my life I never took time to acknowledge. I don't feel lonely for the most part and at enjoy the rare moments alone with my surroundings. I do crave real intamacy now. If you want to talk about what learned from it all just dm me :D
