Hello you,
Well, you know what i'm thinking about all this, and ive just sent you a message.

Why are you so afraid of a state of loneliness? Does loneliness necessarly mean boredom? Nope, you can spend time all alone, doing things for yourself, taking time to look for what you've always been after, planning your immediate future.
Of course, being all alone, all the time, isn't always a good thing, but if you've got no family and no true friend, why not doing things for the others? If you feel so lonely, then go and join an association that helps people, like the homeless people, or people feeling bored in hospitals, etc. Then you'll feel that you're useful, and you're important for some people.

That's what i did. I've always been depressed because of my childhood and the things i had to go through. I've tried to put an end to my life several times. I started at 12 and the last time was when i was 18. I've been living all alone since then. And ive been feeling a lot of loneliness, but i decided to join an association, i was organising leisure activities for students. I've planned my life so that i would be busy all the time : going for a walk in the forest, decorating my little flat, finding penpals and writing to them every week, reading books on psychology, visiting old people in my neighbourhood, and cooking cakes for them etc.

You need to find your own self-fulfilment. Do things that you're interested in, and if you feel like you're not interested in anything, then try things you've never tried, just to check if you like them or not. But don't spend all your day long in front of a computer, its not really good. Of course you can spend time on the Internet, but don't rely on it as your only leisure activity. You'll feel better afterwards. It will take time, but after a while it will change slowly. Do things step by step. And it will be fine!

Answer 2

I was marrried for 30 years to a woman who was the most obnoxious person. On the outside she was sweetness and light. On the inside she was a can of worms. I didn't believe in divorce, but finally I realized that if I didn"t get a divorce I was going to crack up. I kept busy with my job, hobbies, sports, reading, friends, biting my toungue, and prayer.

Answer 3

Yes, being alone is very safe and comforting for someone like myself.
I have truly been alone for years, it gets easier with time.
