Are You Lonely?

[EmilyAdkins1]

Lately I’ve been looking at the wall and around my apartment and noticing that no ones there. Then I get sad cause no ones there. Then I feel like no one likes me and that’s why I’m alone. I go to my room and cry a little. I grab my phone and look through my contacts and then I realize, I have a lot of friends. I get happy and call one of them. If they answer then I’m happy but when they don’t I spend the next hour trying to figure out what I did wrong and why they hate me. This just keeps repeating. Please I don’t want anyone’s pity I just felt like I had to express my situation to hear yours.

I'm not lonely, I live alone - have done since my Husband died almost 13 years ago.

[EmilyAdkins1]

I’m so sorry. That must have been hard to do through

[Mamyalynne]

It was hard Emily, somehow you get the strength to get through it for the sake of your children and their children.

Your loneliness will pass when this pandemic is more under control and you can see your pals again.

I'm not usually... I often would love more time to myself, just to read etc. But, even though I am still doing work and childcare through lockdown, it still seems to be different at the moment and I think many people are feeling it.
Maybe make some more plans for what you want when, hopefully, things get more back to normal. And don't take anything personally... your friends may be busy, or just feeling as unmotivated as a lot of people are right now.

I'm not lonely but my memory strays to brighter sunny days.

[Barsel]

royfromaus are you not sorry we drifted apart then? :-(

Two months... until the clocks change. We're getting there!

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

As other Abers know, I lost my husband 10 years ago next month. I live alone but thank God for FaceTime. I’m quite happy by myself and love having a set way that each day goes by.

I love watching my favourite shows on TV.

For some reason, again Abers may remember, my friends of 40 years have not been in touch with me at all.

I’m contented with my lot and can’t wait to go down to Southampton to see my 20 month old twin granddaughters.

Crikey, Chrissy. I had no idea about your friends.
That seems so mean and thoughtless.
Little wonder you want to spend time in Southampton and what a *** that you can’t just now. I do know how you feel about that. Haven’t seen my lot since late 2019 and it hurts to think what you’re missing, doesn’t it....x

APG, do you stare at your bald head and wish you had hair. lOL.

Usually got people around me, if I haven't got that luxury I can live with it, previous lives have given me the experience to deal with it.
