I took a walk around the block in my neighborhood this afternoon. It’s the day after Xmas and everything is quiet. Most people are home and most shops are closed. As I walk I realize that I am the only one out on the street. I also realized how alone I am since I have no spouse or children. Yesterday I spent the day with my sister who is currently going through a divorce so she is also lonely. My grandma who end up with dementia used to say that she is “lonely but pleasant”. I think I should take up that attitude. I know that most of you are loners like me so I just want to say hi to all who feel the loneliness… Most of the time I am okay with being alone but today it is getting to me.

I hope that you feel better soon @anon18305065.
The Holiday Season can be a very lonely time of the year for many.
I have been feeling lonely lately as well - Tis the Season.

Well, you’re not alone in those feelings. I am a loner and I tend to isolate, and then suddenly I’m lonely. I have a husband, and he’s a sweetheart, but I’m still lonely often, I think because I crave more than companionship, I need understanding. He can only stretch himself so far as he is a loner too, but without anything close to sz. Anyway, can you reach out to your sister? I hope you feel more cheerful soon.

I felt some lonliness yesterday on Christmas, but most of the time I don’t feel lonely, in spite of my solitude. I can keep myself entertained when I am alone.

The day after Christmas I am lonely too. Yesterday was all family and gumbo and smiles and laughter. Today I feel alone too. Happy New Year and maybe next year will be different.

I am slowly coming out of my shell but tend to isolate, too. If I see something that indicates a spark of friendship starting, I act a fool and sabotage it. Just learning that to be a real friend doesn’t come so naturally to me.

I am a Loner and Proud of it I wouldn’t change my status for the World as far as I am concerned I could care less if I ever see another person as long as I live except for my friend I have best friend of 30 years and my family I like to be isolated and alone for the most part I get around people only because I have to get out and about if I want to eat even that I could do without for a very long time as long as I had water I would do just fine.

Thank you so much for all the replies you guys and girls. Sz.com forum community is truly a bunch of warm hearted people. I feel so much better now. I am not a good communicator and wish so much I could give more of myself to you all. But for now I like to read the threads as much as possible. Keep well all you beautiful people.

I’m glad for you, sincerely. I admit that I feel attacked often when I’m not being attacked, so forgive me if I wonder why you directed your post at me? Are you angry with my post, r are you just commenting?
