Loneliness

I have been feeling really lonely lately. I am not sure what to do. I hate myself because it is my fault I'm lonely. I push people away or avoid them. Then I feel so desperately lonely. How do you make friends with people outside of work/school?

Hi there I'm sorry to read you are feeling lonely. I don't have any immediate solutions as I struggle with th same issue myself but if you want someone to chat to you can pm me. Hope you feeling better

yeah the loneliness stinks. i got no friends left. at times i try to get back with old friends but they seem busy with their lives. their spouses, children, and they make new friends easily.

i feel stuck. i dont really have a solution. but at times reading random quotes about life helps.
