I basically have a good life. Friends, family, job I enjoy. Then why is it that lately I feel so alone that all I want to do is cry? Even when I'm out with friends in a crowded place, I feel alone? Anyone else ever feel like this?
Yes, I can relate. I feel this way often. I'm not real sure as to exactly why, though. I'll take a guess and say that I believe it is due to a missing piece of the puzzle, if you will - in my case at least.
babe i used to think that way....of course there are but sometimes we are closed to the idea.....open ur heart, you will see that there are and a lot.....
mmmmmmmm.........then maybe you need to change attitude...and why not....change look...go to the beauty parlor, cut your hair....change color.....buy new dresses...you will see the difference
Nor have I. I think it really boils down to the fact that we are just probably tired of being/feeling alone/lonely. I am comfortable with myself, have high self esteem, I love myself, etc. Yet I feel there is a void in my life, love life in particular, which makes me feel a bit sad sometimes. It's human nature to feel this way if you are the type of person who doesn't want/like to be alone. I know me, and I am much happier when I have a partner to share my life with - I know I don't want to be by myself forever. It gets frustrating at times... I completely understand where you are coming from.
EXACTLY!!!!!!! Yes no matter how much I tell myself otherwise, I am tired of being alone. Then I get mad at myself because there are so many people that are way worse off then me. I do have alot of self esteem and love my self the way I am. Then I go out with guys that want only one thing or want to change the way I dress, etc. Thank you, now I don't feel so bad, thought I was the only one and was being a big baby.
I'm a person that in the past has let my desperation to not feel this way make me do pretty dumb things.
Since doing these dumb things I've learned that I'm not the only one who feels this way. As Tomm said, this is an aspect of the human condition. We all feel this way at times, just don't let this feeling make you do something stupid.
You can make yourself not alone, but only God can make you not lonely. Have faith, and look to your higher power for help with this one. Best advice I have.
Thanks, yes have done some dumb things not to be lonely in the past. Maybe that's why it's hitting me so hard now. Before I would be with someone even though I knew it wasn't going anywhere or wasn't good for me. Now I'm not doing that. I am being picky and selective.

This happen to me a year after my father died. When ever i went out with friends i would get upset for what i considered no reason.It went on for around 6 months. looking back i had'nt given my self time to grieve. I had looked after everyone else and negelected my self emotionaly. I am my not saying your grieving after a death like me. But i could be some sort of loss a job. Status, any kind of change. Because this is when we feel particulary lonely and vunarable.
Yes,I feel like that all the time.It is a longing of ones heart that is never met.Like aching for love so much,also the touch of fingers.The one thing that makes us feel really ALIVE.And not just a dead body,that is forever gone,leading to a dust to dust senario.
