What is the deadliest thing for health more then being lonely?

Question

I hate being alone.I need to communicate people to relax and satisfy.But I think mines is like an obsession.Am ı going crazy ?

Answer 1

My dad is just like you. And I'm the opposite. I love being alone.

Tough question, because I've tried to advise my dad on this for YEARS.

People that enjoy having a lot of alone time usually won't understand your problem. My dad's problem is that he can't entertain himself.

Such as....reading, writing, any individual hobby, etc.

I'm honestly not sure if this personality trait can be changed after a certain age. But, NO...you are not crazy. You just need social activity to feel fulfilled.

If you don't have enough people to hang out with to satisfy your need, do something for the community...volunteer using your skills. You'll meet great people, new friends, and will feel a rush from helping people.

Good luck !

Well it could be, but most people like to be with people and communicate with them. Now if you did not a lot of professionals would really be worried cause you would house bound, and not getting out or wanting to be around anyone, and that is bad. For different people it would be different, want would be more deadliest thing for health more then being lonely. There are some i am sure they will not let me post here, but i have meant a lot of people in my life. To me it would be being a burden to my family, and cause of my ocd i could not hold my childern at times, or go out. I taped myself into my home when i was a teen , and i really could not tell you how long i stayed in there, not anwsering the phone, cause i thought grems could get in though there. I was living alone, and i liked it that way. I did not know what loneliness was till mental health, hospitals, and other mental health professional got me caring . But for me feeling that i was a burden to my family was the worse thing i could of ever thought of. Cause that leads you down a road, that you feel they would be better off without you in there lifes or even alive. But i know a lot more that could do the same, i just can not list them all here. You think you are lonely, go to a nursing home and see the people there, that don't get any company and the staff is too busy for them, and the young just see them as old useless people. They are't. When you think you have it bad go and check into places like that. Or go into a hospital and the stuff you may hear there quit often you will think , heck i don't have a problem. Plus lonely is something you can do something about, like voluteering and brighting up someones life. Hope this helps.

I would say depression. I have always loved my own company, yet when I was laid off my job 5 years ago a severe depression set in. It was so horrible i cannot even explain it. Then i met a person here on answers last march and he pulled me out of it. The bad part of this wonderful friendship is I can't stand being alone anymore. When he doesn't call I think I'm going crazy. Get help if you are depressed. Try to like being with yourself. Good Luck!

Answer 4

No, you're not going crazy. Plenty of people find being alone draining and rely on the company of others to recharge and relax. Sometimes they're called extroverts. ;)

If you'd like to make more friends, I recommend just getting out and doing the things you like to do. You don't have to change. Just do what you enjoy--take a class or volunteer somewhere--and you're bound to meet people who share your interests. Start conversations, be friendly and open and polite...but again, no need to be somebody you're not. Friendships take time to develop, so this may require a bit of patience, but one day you'll realize, "Hey, I've got friends!"

Good luck.

Answer 5

Good old days, used to play "solitaire" american term of patience. You are not going crazy or anything just natural feeling that a normal human have to communicate and seek means.
Social: Go out with friends.
Or else choose from solitary amusement tricks, watch movies, try drawing, writing a novel, read, go out for a long ride.

Answer 6

If it IS an obsession to communicate then do not stop. Breathing is also an activity that seem a bit obsessional, but we need to do it.

I suppose aiming for quality of communication would be important. Each of us needs to listen if we want to be listened to.

If you are a bit dissatisfied with your life right now, look at it as a sign for thought and for action.

The action may have to come first e.g. many people must walk long and hard in order to able to figure out how to improve their lives.

If you have other problems or ways of explianing your concerns, then come back to this forum with them!

Answer 7

The deadliest things besides loneliness are drug addiction, alcoholism, and depression. If you hate being alone, I would suggest you get out and do the things you love with your friends.
Such as bowling, shooting pool, card games, skating, basketball, a movie, or a nice restaurant.

Answer 8

probably becoming a sex addict

your not going crazy,.....you just need to reach out to others, start socializing more, maybe exercise to help those moods swing more on the upside and for stability.
keep communicating---writing, say hello to people even as you walk by, call up your favorite relative, join a club

Answer 9

Why so many people complain saying I am lonely?

If you also complain, it seems to me you are quite lazy or a nagging baby cause this world is full of lonely people, find one of these , there are full of fishes in the river .

Come on go get it!

Answer 10

The deadliest thing is neediness -- when you forcibly try to befriend people who neither like you nor understand you.

When no one understands you, it is better to be alone.
