Does anyone else out there feel alone sometimes? I know Jesus is always with me but mean in a human sense.>

Question

Please serious answers. Don't cut me down or give me a hard time just please simply answer my question. I'm married and have a daughter but still with everything going on and the schedules we keep I find myself feeling so lonely sometimes. I'd just like to know if anyone else ever feels that way. Even though you might be surrounded by people you feel like you can't talk to any of them.

Answer 1

i am married and have a daughter and i know exactly how you feel. I feel very alone at times too. mu husband is a great guy, a fantastic father, but he does not really connect w/me spiritually. we are both Christians, and yet he & i can't seem to converse on a deep, spiritual level. He is a moral right/wrong person, and I am less judgemental and rigid. if you want to talk, write me! My close girlfriends all get married and moved out of state and i just can't seem to find those kinds of connections.

Answer 2

I am so sorry you are feeling lonely. I understand your sadness and have felt it myself at times. Sometimes the worst places for feeling lonely are when you are in a place (a shopping mall, church, restaurant) surrounded by many other people, especially people your own age. Seeing others around you talk, smile and laugh together often accentuates any feelings of sadness or depression you may have. Just do one thing. Spend extra time with your husband and daughter. Take time off from everything else (even during this busy holiday season) and focus on the positive, loving things about yourself and those you care about. Relax. Take a bath. Listen to music. Read a good book or work on a hobby. Enjoy a special dessert. Volunteer. Wrap yourself up in love and remember you are a special person to your family and friends. Sometimes those closest to us don't always tell us the loving words we need to hear. Also know that everyone has these feelings of lonliness from time to time. If you suspect that your feelings of being alone actually are feelings of extreme sadness or depression, please-please go to see your doctor. There are wonderful medicines out there that can assist you. God bless you.

Answer 3

This happens to me. My office is full of very social people who just can't keep quiet. I am on the other quite anti-social and avoid eye contact even the girl sitting next to me. I just do not know what to say to people when they walk by me. I ask a lot of questions and this is effecting my communications. People don't like to be asked questions, only like to get a light hearted conversation which i absolutely cannot do. Sometimes, i feel that people are just being that way to create a good impression and show a positive attitude. But, i just cannot do that. My work is very insulated too so i don't get in touch with others.

Answer 4

I don't think there is anyone one person who can say that they never feel alone, because they would be lying. You are right though about the whole Jesus thing, so I think that if you try to think of it more as always having someone there then always think "well i can't see him, i know he's there, but I'm still not satisfied" , then you might feel a little bit more less alone. But no matter what you do, don't turn to a temporary person just to feel less lonely because it's not right to them or you.

Answer 5

It's called the human condition, and it affects us all! Some of the lonliest people can still be surrounded by others all of the time. Also, just remember that everyone feels lonely some of the time, it's quite normal.

Answer 6

I know how you feel. I've been surrounded by people, yet felt alone because I didn't think they would understand me and I didn't want to pour my problems on them. I feel as though, sometimes we need time to figure things out on our own. You may feel alone, but I feel God is just telling us the we need to separate ourselves from the world at that particular moment.

Answer 7

Everyone at sometime feels lonely, even when surrounded by loved ones.

Try taking up a hobby, or getting out and socializing more.

I stress hobby because they can be very gratifying and time fulfilling.

Answer 8

yes. Jesus is a poor substitute for living breathing companionship. Anyway the Jesus theory is not meant to be a companion but a comfort. I struggle with this lonesome/lonely thing myself, since I am a pretty unique sort of a person and its hard to find companions who can appreciate me for who I am. I am very opinionated, deeply spiritual (NOT religious) have a totally original sense of humor, and i am a virgo .

Answer 9

Yes that is because this is not our world. We are trying to make good use out of a bad bargain but this world is not reality. We are in a type of prison which is not meant for enjoyment. It is only ment to understand our constitutional position as spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul. One should be in constant contact with God also known as Krishna, Jehovah, Allah, Vishnu, Rama, etc. or his Representative Jesus Christ or Prabhupada, or St Francis. They are all accessible in calling their name and. One is to be in constant prayer and the moment we are not in touch we are subject to the pains of material suffering. Try being in constant contact, it is not easy but is is the process to relieve suffering.

One has to be open minded about God though or they will not get what I am trying to say.

Answer 10

I think alot of it human nature. We live such fast paced lives anymore it seems like we don't have time to stop and smell the roses. Make time to do something just for yourself--if it's a cup of tea and a book.
