Loneliness... What choices are there?

Loneliness is one of the cruelest underestimated places to be in life. Most of us need people.

This is all too common & wayyyy too many suffer this.

What's out there to help people?

Forums is a good place for many that are shy or depressed and not comfortable face on.

Excercising outside, amongst people, eye contact often connects a smile with people. Lifting

Here & assuming other places in Oz there's through community centres volunteers that visit, take shopping, talk, listen etc or phone calls weekly. (GP would know more)

Public transporting, around people, even if not engaged in convo, still amongst it

Interested hearing suggests

This shouldn't be

How was the weekend people , db.

Funny thing , spent most of it at home , very comfy and feelin too slack to care money or not. But a customer came out Sunday 1 oclock to pick up a job and by 2 l was cashed up anyway. So then l thought well , there's still a gorgeous Sunday arvo left , get the hell out there where will l go,

Well , after discussing the sitch with myself for half an hour l thought hmm , thing is l'm very comfortable right here and l really don't feel like going anywhere anyway now.Sooooo, another weekend all home alone , been nice though.

Next one , l promise.

Was quiet w/e then ended up staying at friends so that was good thanks Random

Money they say doesnt bring happiness dunno bout that it sure gives freedom and security

As long as you were ok in your company Random but will hold you up to nxt w/e 😊

Dont wanna see you go down budz

Think I've mentioned going to Pictures its around people and for those uncomfortable with others distance can be maintained.

Take care of yourselves

Church groups might have people that visit or take shopping, drive..

Haha db db db . l'd probly burst into flames if went near a church but thanks all the same.But hey , l do love photographing them from the outside , great architecture eh.

Yeah moneys a funny thing , l'd be willing to try being happy with a few million bucks for sure, bet l could prove the saying wrong haha.

That's nice , over at the friends. l have had a few drinks at my brothers over this 4 weeker so atleast that's something , taken my daughter few places .

Yep , next ones ones the one db. big plans , like go to kmart or something , stay tuned for the exiting riveting report ok. Nah , l'll think of something.

Yeah Lol ditto...flames

Having bits of friend activity, nothing much grooving atm but not depressed as such just gotta work out how to like my own company then that void will be easier

Fill the lonely part in

Just being atm.. gotta work on mindset

Take care budz 😊

Thanks db you too darlin.

Funny too that one about liking our own company l never really get what it suppose to mean.l don't even think of my own company if that's what it means. You know like l'd love soma the right company. l def' get lonely and really miss a partner. But it is also damn nice too to just be able to do what l want too though.

But l just get involved in doing my own thing if it's music or a movie or computer , messing round outside or jumping into bed , or not even getting outa bed , well except for some food and coffee haha , whatever .

like l dunno if that's what it means .

ls just being ok ? l guess l could say l'm just being , l find it great but l'm not sure if it's the same just being or not though. But l'm glad your not depressed right now , good on ya d nice goin. Anyway l hope you don't feel abridged to to keep up on threads and stuff yaknow they'll always be around later on if your not up to it .

Take care eh.0

At least a lot better this wk , in ways anyway.

Well , with some ex gf thrown into the mix. which equals some confusion and disappointment but add some pleasure and shear delight , and you've got that one , nother subject.

Anyway , out everyday this week , lotta driving , few places, towns,some work, some shopping some socializing , so that's all been a bit better .

Hottest day of the week tomorrow and one of the last for summer so saturday l'm going to the beach .

So there we go , a little better this week in that department anyway.

Hope everyones well and your doing ok db db, smilin atcha.

😊back atcha budz

Glad you had a better wk matey, I think change of scenery and people the right ones of course are instrumental with our MH

Although it's not as good as going with people but going places like beach, shopping centres maybe sporting spectator game is being around people as opposed to being alone in the house.

Some group or club activities

Cards (euka) or poker etc (check out clubs or community centres)

Mahjong (hard to learn but great mind thinking game hear)

Chess

Volunteer work. Great variation with choices

Coffee groups

Walking groups

Knitting -crochet -cross stitch groups

Fishing club

Mens shed (some have ladies day too)

hoping for some light and peace in your days 😊
