I am a Christian and I have experienced extreme lonliness for about 4 1/2 years. Ever since I graduated high school, i havent had any friends. I know God doesnt want me to live this way. I am sad most of the time, and I am self conscious and have a hard time making friends. Today was really bad , I thought I almost couldnt take the pain of a life void of human contact, please give some good advice.

Do you have a church? You should be able to make friends at church if you're at a good one. Find a home group that meets mid-week, most churches have those, they're a great way to meet people on a more personal level instead of just in passing on sundays.
I too suffered from loneliness a lot. I had a roomate, but she was gone a lot. Loneliness is a bad place to be. The lions pick off the isolated prey, and the devil is compared to a lion. You have to make the effort to get plugged into a group. It is essential!!!
God can fill the void if you push into Him. He is your all in all. He is everything you need. Read your Bible daily, talk to God, listen to what He has to say to you. Human contact is essential, but God is more essential.

I would Pray and ask GOD to have that inner Joy and Happiness that we are suppose to experience. I know that GOD does not abandon his children, My Guess is that he is busy sending someone to you! Keep your head up The Storm is almost over! When you do find that true Happiness and their is no more Pain don't forget where it came from. At times I feel empty and lonely but I know that this is life, I take the GOOD with the BAD. Be a little more patient I know that it could be frustrating when we do not know the future and want the pain to go away but when you least expect it life GETS BETTER!!
GOD BLESS!!

You're definitely posting this question in the wrong site. As for your question, we all face loneliness and some degree of depression, especially when we feel as though no one is around. The only advice I can give is to seek out those who you may relate too, either through a social group at the Y or the like, or through your church if that is available. Other than that, I am sorry that I cannot offer more.

look... god can't help you. You need to be proactive in your life. Start volunteering or join a club that interests you and you're bound to make some friends... and if you're really into the "god" thing, why don't you go to church and invite some people over to your place for lunch or go for coffee. If you are having a hard time dealing with the fact that you are gay, you should do a search for a support group in your area.

Do you know who Christ hung out with in his day? The outcasts. The ones who all of society hated (sort of like gay people today). 2000 years ago it was tax collectors and lepurs. If he were alive today it would be gay people. Christ himself NEVER spoke a bad word about homosexuals. Anyone who says they are a Christian and that you are wrong or evil for being gay is just dead wrong. Get help. You CAN be happy gay, you CAN NOT be happy living a lie (which is what "converting" would be). Best of luck to you.

There are people out there, even in your own neighborhood, who are waiting to reach out and be a friend to you and others in a similar situation. If you make a little effort to find them, they will be their for you. A good place to begin that search is to look inside a church. There are many there who want to help and be a friend. Another place to look is at a temple or synagogue. They are there, waiting to help you.
There are others places to look for help too, including a local mental health center, or hospital.
Finally, there is also someone who can help and will always be there for you. This person is only as far away as your knees. if you get down on them and seek this person out in prayer, he will be there to help you and to be a friend to you. Be sincere and he will be also.

The choice to live as a recluse is not a command from Father God. Draw near to Jesus and He will draw near to you. That is a promise. If you need wisdom ask Father God but don't doubt. Make an effort to share your love for Jesus with others. You will find that we who trust Jesus are still out here.

First of all this is in the wrong section. Second(this is the helpful part) Have you accepted JESUS into your life? Third if you have then have you asked him to forgive your sins lately? As a Christian I can't answer any more untill I know the answers to these questions. Hope this helps. Good luck because I know how you feel.

they are no longer Jews through fact Jew's don't think the messiah has come yet. they have not got faith Jesus so believing in Jesus and saying your Jewish for sure contradicts one yet another.... it fairly is unhappy that there are those Evangelist Christians that decision themselves "Jews". provide up this prepare now, your disgracing the two Judaism and Christianity.
