I hope you have an awesome week too. :slight_smile:

That’s kind of you.

See the guidelines for posting in this forum. Sometimes we fear to talk at all. It gets so that we CAN’T talk.

Sorry your feeling lonely. My wife has a collection of stuffed animals that she talks to. Some of them dance, some of them sing. She’s not MI though, she’s a therapist even.

There are really not many things we can’t talk about. We pretty much remove posts for the same reasons again and again. Also, you have zero deleted posts, zero flagged posts and zero suspensions. You’re doing remarkably good! But yes, read the guidelines, people. :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t think so. There are a lot of lonely people on this site. It might be a good topic.

I think it is a really good topic to address.

Living in a unnamed reality like schizophrenia is sometimes indescribable,
I’m sorry your feeling lonely,
Sending good vibes your way :grin::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Sometimes talking/writing about our feelings can help us feel better. I don’t think you should worry about a thread about loneliness. I’m pretty sure it’s something we all feel sometimes.
I feel lonely sometimes even when there are people around me. I feel isolated inside myself and it brings me down. Knowing I can come on this forum and “be with” people who know how that feels is comforting to me.
I’m sorry you’ve been feeling lonely. I hope you can gain comfort from the community here. :heart:️

Do you live alone? @Tomasina

I just watched an anime and had a flash of this. It was about kids in high school meeting with people of the opposite sex and forming relationships with them. All I kept thinking was how that could never be me. Then I started to think about how nobody likes me. Sometimes it sucks but I guess it is one of those things you have to accept. People just don’t like me. In the very least they don’t keep contact. My friends from university never took the initiative to call me. I always had to hang out with them.

Sorry to hear this…really. Can you talk with someone like a therapist about this?

That sounds like a very harsh statement, and I’m sure you’re exaggerating.
At the very least, try working with a psychologist (if you can afford one) to identify what is it about your behavior that might put some people off. Then see if you can improve in those areas.

I never was a social butterfly and during my teens I was jealous of people who seemed to bond very quickly and strongly. But I grew up and I learnt one thing or two about myself… such as: I used to be a bit arrogant, distant (unapprochable) and self-absorbed. Once I realized those shortcomings, I took steps to become more open and genuinely interested in other people. And then the miracle happened. I was able to bond with other people quickly and strongly. Not every time of course. With some people there just wasn’t enough chemistry. But that’s life and no use crying over spilt milk.

why do you think like that. I think everybody likes you here. I am sure your friends from high school like you too. It is not a good way to observe. Some of my friends do not contact me, but I do and they are always happy to do something with me. I never for a second thought they may not like me, even though I have some bad habits.

I guess I do not expect anything :thinking: People are not supposed to like you most of the time. You only socialize, have fun, do activities etc and if someone likes/loves you then it is a bonus!
