Emergency: I'm lonely as hell

join the club! it's a lonely lonely world.

 

Gee, your cute

 

Boy, that's an understatement. I've been a member of this club for a long, long time.

 

I hate been lonely. It hurts ALOT inside. In time over the years I guess I have become accustomed to it and just try to be happy and peaceful now. One thing nobody should ever try (not to imply anything about anyone) is doing anything to yourself, trust me, doesn't help in the long run and just isn't good.

Rossy, if I ever meet you, give me/I give you a big FAT hug I never get a hug off people either and any man who is incomfortable with hugging other men just isn't convinced about themselves.

Peace

 

I blame modern life for causing loneliness.
Everyone's obsession with money & materialism.We've forgotten how to be people in our stoic quest for storing up worldly goods & chattels.

 

sorry, but i have to say that sending out an s.o.s. on a forum of like-minded people is not whining - that's reaching out when you need it. lovin you little brother.

i am so amazed at all the wonderful word-hugs sent your way! helping others is sometimes the best way to deal with our own problems. remember, we're all in this cosmic life-raft together and if we can give someone a hand up without tipping over this duct-taped leaky craft we call life we should be all about it.

 

Modern life has a lot to do with it. People used to sit on their front porches and talk to their neighbors as they walked by, or visit with them in the town square-now people are locked inside their homes sitting in front of computers or TV sets, and communicate either through the computer or phone. I was arguing with some folks a while back who said that people shouldn't watch TV or use computers, that it's not good for them. I said, well, what are they supposed to do, sit and look at the wall? They didn't really have an answer.

 

In some places the contra dance and swing dance folk are friendly to lonely strangers. One does have to make a serious effort, appearance-wise, if you're reclusive. Here's the local Cape Cod info:
