friends help: I feel empty and alone. - Help.com

I feel empty and alone.

I have friends, married and young adults. I dont feel close to any of them. I dont small talk, if I never had them it wouldnt make a difference I would feel the same. I take pride in my work, thats all I really do anymore. I dont have any hobbies or do anything. I used to but none of it even seams enjoyable. I have tried to reconnect but it just isnt me, as a result I excluded my self from life. Only to see all that I miss. I feel empty and alone as if I am a skin shell taking up space till I turn into dirt and become useful as fertilizer.

Okay, you’re disconnecting yourself from everyone you know.. or at least that’s what it sounds like. It’s good that you take pride in your work, as you should. Maybe you could meet more people, new people by trying new hobbies, try finding what IS ‘you’. You’ll never be alone, theres always people willing to be somebody to you. There are times when you should spend a while by yourself, there is nothing wrong with that, it’s just your personality, but make sure that you don’t.. you know, hurt anyone doing so, including yourself. You need people in your life, as they need you.

I have lots of people that know and care about me. Thats not the issue, I dont connect with them. If there is a reason to talk with them I do. Other than that there is really nothing. I met new people all the time, same thing. Even with my wife, if she got up and walked out. Nothing would really change for me. It would be just another day. As for hobbies, over the past 50 years been there done that, it makes me feel like Im watching re-runs on tv.

people judge others every minute of the day, if we dont look the part, or have cash that buys the part we are useless. i dont put any stock in people or society anymore, they have pizzed all over me and others as i see.

Maybe you disconnect because you don’t like that they are happy and you aren’t….I’m not saying you want them to be unhappy…just that you want the happiness too…..trust me…i know the feeling….maybe change your scenery? If this isn’t helpful…I’m sorry….

I know that I want to be happy. I want it so badly that I’m ready to walk away from 50 years of life 22 years of marriage to look for it. Every day I wake up feeling more and more like a machine. No feeling, no enjoyment, I don’t care what food even tastes like anymore. I have no preference about anything. I’m just here.
