I’m so lonely I want to die.

I know I need help but I don’t know how to get any help. I have no family and no friends except my dog.

Become a part of some society. Maybe at your university or at work or wherever. It doesn’t matter if that society is lame. Just talk with nice people.

Dear you,

The situation you are in seems really difficult. A few years back , I went through something rather similar. And then I didn’t even have a dog for company. Having to deal with loneliness is one of the hardest things. But the thing is that things can only get better.

I suggest that you join a group or club of some sort. If you have trouble making friends, you have to envisage the kind of support you could get from friends and you have to envision yourself having fun and being happy among people – that will give you enough motivation and courage to make friends.

I would all suggest that you join a social networking site such as myspace or orkut where you can meet people who share your interests.

There are also several online communities that will help you out.

For example if you like poetry, all you have to do is google the words “poetry discussion forums” and you will find sites filled with thousands of people who think like you.

And most importantly, if you believe that God exists – then all you have to do is pray to God – whichever God you believe in and when you hear God responding, you wont feel lonely any more.

So hang in there

You will be just fine

And say hi to the dog from me.

:)

dont feel down. u seem scared because you have no friends or family. i dont mean to be blunt but how are u going to have friends if you dont get out there no one probably knows who you are! i would say either join the gym or get a new job where theres lots of people when you get a new job all the people will notice you and talk to you if you are nice back you will have friends straight away! trust me this will work if you set your mind to it

be happy :-)

Go join a gym ( get healthy and make friends) or join a book club, there are tone of things you can do to meet people, and since peoples favorite subject is always themselves talk about them, to them and you will make friends in no time

as others have said, join a club or society- you could phone your local recreation centre or an equivalent of one and see if there’s anything on that interests you. if you don’t want to do that straight away you could always see a psychiatrist- they can help you become more confident if that’s your problem.

you have to be willing to interact with people to make and maintain relationships. we are all trying to talk to you, I even asked about your dog, and you won’t talk back. WHY?

there is no one as lonely as me. I have no friends at all. dden at work everyone goes out for lunch with one another at work and not one person asks me to go with them. I’m so lonely all i DO IS CRY. I guess i MIGHT BE SHY WHEN i FIRST MEET PEOPLE. I have tried call several pyschiatrists and not one has callee me back. I love to go out but have no one to go with. I have a free trip on a cruise for two people for 14 days including airfare and the sad part is I have no one to go with. I have no one to go shopping with or out to dinner .

I actually met a lot of people at my local dog park. I’m married with 2 college aged daughters who I adore. If it wasn’t for them I’d kill myself in a minute. The weird thing is they really don’t know how unhappy I am. I fake it when they are home because I am so proud of them and I don’t want to bring every body down. They have written notes to me saying what a great mother I am. I am a good mother (totally self taught) If they could read the bubble over my head, they’d be shocked. I would never embarrass my daughters by killing myself, but I really hate living, Being dead just sounds like sleeping to me, which sounds good. Theresa

Hi there darling. I’m in the exact same position. I met a guy whom I fell in love with and got deeply involved at a fast rate and we were together for 4 1/2 yrs! He was manipulative, abusive (mentally and physically), possessive, obsessive and he even went to work with me to make sure I was working! Before the bad signs showed, he seemed perfectly notmal and by the time I wanted out, it was too late due to my feelings and due to my being afraid of what he was capable of. He even stabbed my only family that I had left at the time…my dog. Fortunately, he survived! These days, I live with my mother but she’s all I have and my dog. I literally have no friends who call me. No one to confide in! No one AT ALL! I’m so alone some times I feel that I was a mistake to put on Earth. There’s nothing and no one here for me so wtf am I even here? : So don’t worry - you are not alone. There are many people out there like us. I do hope you meet new friends. All the best and Happy New Year!

I am in the same situation. My wife left me to go and sing. Now it’s just me and a dog. I am available on yahoo mail if you need a buddy. I guess many of us are in the same boat.

Im in the same boat..for the longest time i had more friends then i knew what to do with. sometimes i wish i could start over and know what i know now. sometimes i just want to kill myself. sometimes i just want to sit in my room and cry my eyes out. or even sometime i want to just go to jail becuase then i would have an excuse why my life sucked. im 18 i was real heavy into drugs and i would choose my drug friends over my real friends and family. my real friends left me and my family is now torn apart becuase of me. and recently i got a dui last oct and i get my Lience back in april but since then its like everyone has forgotten about me. although i can say i still have some friends and a girl friend (who is miss popular which sucks becuase she has alot of friend and i dont) i feel the pain of all those without friends and family.

Places i meet friends that i have or atleast had. (i hope this helps)

School
at my job
friends of my friends
i played football with about 20 guys from around here
clubs (i was in law enforcement exploreres)
i got arrest one time and was sent to youth bootcamp (i meet 2 guys from there)
online dating websites
myspace

Another thing at helps is my girlfriend, shes very social. ( who the hell knows how i got her) she helped me realize the things in my life that i was doing wrong and help directed me on the right path.

I feel so lonely too a lot of the time in fact I spent around 30 minutes contemplating whether I should post here on this page! I even get scared socially when I talk on the phone how stupid is that? My family don’t like me very much, my siblings have always been better at everything than me, plus I was born handicapped, I can walk, but with some difficulty and cannot run. Everyone is in relationships and they have friends and go out and have fun and go to parties and they all have girlfriends and they’ve lost their virginity and people would care when they die! I always seem to be making excuses for myself, Ive been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome which has made me feel bad because I’ve realised I can never be normal. Please talk to me I feel so alone.

this reminds me of elanor rigby by the beatles lol, the one thing that seriously helps is laughter, i know it sounds kinda silly but you gotta find things to laugh at. Its such a big world and we live such short lives, you gotta go out there and make **** happen. But lonliness sucks…

Ditto to all the above. I am so lonely, I hate my job, lack of friends, lack of love. All that self pity/loathing. Many, many worse off people in this stupid world that can find happiness in simple things. But that is all lost when it’s just you, with only yourself for company day-in, day-out. Here’s hoping for change (I’ve been hoping a looong time)!

I feel the same. I have friends however and a family, though I cant relate to them. I just wish someone would see me for who I am. I don’t have any friends who enjoy the one passion i love, which is world issues and human rights. I find it hard as well, as I have been through a lot of bad stuff, but often come out the right way. My advice, dont give up, its cliche but some days will be bloody amazing, others really bad. I truly hope you get better, and please dont feel like you are alone, because you are, there are millions of people just like you and I who feel this way, and obviously we are not alone if other people think it too.

I wish you all the best.

Love rubi

I came here looking for answers. All I see are more lonely people lost as much as me.I wish there were a place for us,somewhere we all could meet.And then none of us would never have to be alone again. But I am alone. I want to sleep and never have to feel this pain that’s eating at my heart making me feel empty inside. I’v asked God to help me please..please help me. But there is no answer..and I am still alone. Seem’s funny that the last word’s I write are left here with stranger’s. I am alone..

Makes me mad that when you talk to ppl, they say.I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL..but…..
Yeah but. But they dont. Sometimes the pain exceeds the ability to cope and ppl commit suicide. I get it. my pain is beyond desciption and NO you dont know how I feel.
