Answer 1

You are your own worst enemy.. Be thankful that you have family around you. I used to have a family but my husband is now dead and my kids are grown and since the funeral all my so called friends have disappeared so don't talk to me about lonely when you have people right there. I come home to an empty house and I cry every day from being so alone. Thank God for them and go be with them and tell them you love them.

Answer 2

I have had those types of feelings my whole life. I am one of 11 siblings and I felt as if I was the only one. I had an emptiness that could not be filled. I tried drinking, lots of drinking, smoked a little, tried filling that spot with all kinds of things. What finally helped was seeing a therapist. I needed someone to talk to that I felt would not judge me. After many sessions and meds I feel better. Once you get your mind under control the whole world will open up and you will be amazed.

Answer 3

I have the same thing with my family. I just cannot seem to connect with any of them. The thing is, they are not people who will allow anyone to connect to them. So, in your case it might not be all you. On the other hand though, there is obviously something you need to look into for yourself, which is that nagging in the back of your mind. Just keep your intention to understand it and eventually you will!

Answer 4

No, I never feel alone or lonely. I am much in-tuned to what makes me happy and it is not dependent on another person. Other people can share in my happiness and my joy, but my happiness is my responsibility. I enjoy my own company, as well as, the periodical relationships with my family and friends. You have to learn to be a friend to yourself first. When you have learned to do that then there will be no room for loneliness. Besides, you always have a friend in Jesus!

Hi Shayna - it's not uncommon to feel like that - pick out your best attribute or quality - focus on it. Search yourself for the things you are good at. Treat yourself with things that make you crack a smile - trivial things going on line reading the funnies, drawing, listening to tunes, really search yourself. Once you learn to love yourself - you will connect with people who will adore you. Trust me be selfish for awhile. Shut out the world make yourself an important person to you. First love yourself and make your happiness predominant over others

Answer 6

What you have is a boundry wall set up-either because of previous hurts or because it's something you learned from watching, while growing up. If you want to change that and explore the world, do a self discovery check to firgure out why your like that. Then decide if you want to change from there. It'll open alot of doors for you.

Answer 7

They should be able to help you find out what your problem is

Answer 8

No I am lucky to have a wonderful husband, kids, parents and a great network of friends.

This doesn't mean I have never felt alone though, you need to let yourself go a little, I would rather let myself get involved and it all go belly up than never have that kind of intimacy

Answer 9

Just find a good friend and if you can't i think you should post a question on here asking for a friend and see if they come your way . I would be glad if you take my advice . and i wish the best of luck for you and your finding of a good friendship .

Answer 10

You probably have depression but don't take my word for it because I don't know if thats it. I suggest you talk to someone about your feelings and don't keep them inside. Don't be afraid to express your feelings and I also suggest you pray to god. If you want to request prayer here is a website that I go to.
