Hello Dear Lotus15,

 

A very warm and caring welcome to our forum,

I often think about the question you’ve asked..and it really is so sad…that their are millions of people in this universe,  yet their are so many lonely people, who have no one to share their thoughts or lives with….

 

I live alone now for 9 years…and sometime the loneliness I feel can completely overwhelm me….I think it’s one of the worse feelings and emotions ever…..

 

I feel for people struggling with loneliness so much and feel deeply saddened for anyone that has to go through life lonely……you are not alone..

 

Dear Lotus15, we are here for you, whenever you feel to talk to us…please do so…Life can be and is a little bit less lonely for me since I joined these amazing forums and got to know so many beautiful and caring people here….which I now believe that you don’t need to see a person to be a friend…friendships can be made through the written word…

 

Here if you want to talk…I/we would love to get to know you…

 

My kindest thoughts Dear Lotus15, with my care….and a little hello hug 🤗

Grandy..

Hey Lotus, welcome to the forums. 

 

I believe that people are lonely because they don't love themselves. 

When we DO love ourselves then we make loving choices for ourselves that bring fulfilment, JOY and happiness. 

What would I do right now if I loved myself? 

That's what I ask all day and night. 

 

Of course the opposite of this is looking OUTSIDE of ourselves for constant whatever it is, with the expectations that OTHERS will fill this void. 
"Others" literally can't but we can! 

 

Have a go at asking what you would do right now if you loved yourself?

 

You loved yourself enough to join the forums, so that's AWESOME! 
We love you too! 

Love EM

Hello Lotus, may be it's because we have been frightened off by what others have to say to us or that no one believes us and that's we become lonely.

Hi Lotus15,

This is how I'm feeling right now, why ppl are so lonely? 

I walked in the city streets, I went to the cinema and restaurants, I saw people gathering around, sometimes we don't feel lonely, but when we are alone, the only ones we talk to are ourselves. 

Would you mind sharing more about yourself, welcome to the forum.🙂
