Answer 2

Hello, I'm 24 and very lonely. I have 2 kids and a great husband. I am a stay at home Mom and I don't have any friends in the town we just moved to. My family lives about an hour from here. I think that it is normal to be lonely in my situation. Be careful not to get depressed along with your loneliness. Go out, doesn't matter where, and have a conversation with people around you. Good luckand reach out if you need help.

IT is normal to occassionally feel lonely in ones life at different stages. When you leave home for the first time, when you graduate HS and leave for college, when you do not have a GF/BF or have no friends to hang out with. Is it normal to feel like that 24/7 all the time? No. If you are feeling lonely and seem to be having a hard time of it, I would suggest getting involved in some activities you enjoy. Golfing, handball, gardening, surfing, working at a local shelter, helping the elderly with home repairs at your local church or Salvation Army. Nothing makes you stop thinking of your problems as quickly or effectively as helping others with no expectation of money or rewards other than making a difference for some other soul. Its hard to feel self absorbed when ladling soup to the hungry. Join a local group that does stuff you like to do. Make new friends. Do things that put you out with others. On a recent move to a new state, I found myself without ANY friends, oh sure had some family, but after a while, even the best of family can't compete with just having a friend to go do something with or talk to over coffee/tea. I took a class in gardening at a local college and joined a gardening group. I made friends all over the place, with people I might not have met otherwise. I learned about something I truely enjoy and it has made all the difference to me, while also using this new talent to give back to the community I am now living in. I have done volunteer work that I got more than I gave to. It truely has made not only a difference in my life, but those I have come in contact with. This has blossomed into a whole new outlook on life, on different people I wouldn't have otherwise met, and to appreciate my life, even when it isn't Hollywood fabulous everyday (even though I think it's pretty close!). So reach out, volunteer, don't sit at home waiting for the phone to ring, or someone to come and make it all better. Be proactive and get busy. Good luck to you and I hope this helps you!

I'm 26 and lonely...however, I have my own problems and must deal with them (addiction) before I can expect to have many friends. You must love yourself for who you are before you can expect anyone else to love you. I would say it's perfectly normal to feel lonely if you have no "partner". But if you're like me and have created a lonely rut to sit in, then no, it's not normal.

Answer 5

i'm no longer asserting you have a disease of any style yet once you insist upon a label for what you're "concern" is, i'm thinking Schizoid character disease. Its characterised via desirous to be on my own and not having any interest in being around acquaintances or people ordinarily. those with And dont issue Schizoid isn't Schizophrenia, the two issues are actually not alike in any respect! they are thoroughly diverse. those with Schizoid character disease are purely comfortable being loners. i'm style of like this.

Answer 6

Yeah, it happens and you think....this is it....I maxed out.
Totally untrue. Sometimes we want to be alone... and that can be normal. Unfortunately, some of us (like me) have trouble breaking out of that and we get the reputation of being stuck up or at my age "Reclusive"...sounds dignafied I suppose...
Its time for a change....dare to be outgoing....strike up a conversation with the cute girl at the starbucks.....the worse that can happen, is that she'll say "would you like room for cream".

Seriously, it will pass....but you gotta reach out..... I know I was 24 once....thank god!
