On the contrary, the old ones provide the greatest lesson on your quest forwards. A veritable blessing.

Learn the lessons yet forget the people who won’t let you change and focus on the positive changes you have already made up until this point. Good times are just around the corner.

Nobody can take away your pain, so don’t let anyone take away your happiness...

Wow. So this is what it has come to. Typing “I am lonely” into the Google search bar and arriving here. Historic. Cultural. Zeitgeist. Doesn’t make me feel better. I don’t know what it makes me feel. It is just hard. I am changing. I am growing. I am learning and becoming a better person. I know I am. So the people I met up until this point have only been able to take me this far. Who will go with me on the next stretch? Do I have to go alone? I am going alone now and I don’t like it anymore. I like my alone time, sure. But I want it to be voluntary. Self-imposed. I don’t want to be lonely. People don’t let you change and that is bullshit. You are not your past. You are not your mistakes. If you want to change you have to get all new friends? All new people? That’s what it seems like to me. The old ones will only continue to remind you of your mistakes.

Hi,

First things first: whatever you do, don’t end it all. You’re going through a rough patch right now, and whilst you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel please know that it is there nevertheless.

What’s also important to know is that there are people out there who want to help you. Where are you based? A little more information and I may well be able to help you out...

The bottom line is you don’t deserve to feel so empty and lonely and please know that you can turn it all around if you want. It’s not going to be easy, but it is going to be worth it.

I’m lonely

We are emotionally lobotomizing ourselves. And this Dying World surrounded by Darkness we all search for a spark. They looked high and low thus expanding our Horizons. if I went to school with a hundred people in my class I probably know all 100 of them. And if I had 10 friends that would mean that including myself 89% are not my friends. However if I had 300 people in my class I so only had 10 friends 96. 5% would not be my friends. That’s I would feel even more lonely than I already did. Why? The playing field in which that I exist on has been expanded thus allowing more players. In doing so that means that I am least likely to succeed, I am least likely to be noticed, I am least likely to have strong interpersonal relationships oh, and I would feel alone. And this is not looking at any of their extenuating factors socioeconomics excetera excetera this is just a representation of friends and social success. Now introduce the internet....

We already felt alone when it came out because of the above reason. A place where there are millions, at the time probably thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands depending on what year you decided to log on. And you wonder why you feel even more alone than you already did. Cuz you threw yourself out into a sea of fish that everyone wants to be caught they’re all fighting for that hook. You’re not even playing on your home field you’re playing virtual reality on the f****** field in Argentina and you wonder why your life means nothing. We wonder why you don’t have that spark you don’t have that light it’s because every time you thought you saw that light you thought there might be something better out there and moved on to the next thing because you are view of the world was skewed. If you really don’t want to be alone anymore, or anybody on this thread for that matter, we have to figure out a trust each other again oh, we have to figure out how to see the imperfections in the Perfections together, we have to be understanding, we are all different, but we all must not forget one thing how much you are very much the same. And that as because we’re all looking for the light in the dark, if you’ll hold while we’re broken, to not feel alone, to feel like someone understands what it’s like, when no one can hear you scream, and for the place that we call home that we don’t even know where it is. So I implore you be nice to the clerk’s the gas station, hold the door open for the person that you dislike, tell the person that walked by that you like their shoes if you do, when you see someone that looks at you with fire behind their eyes, and you feel the fire seap out of your own talk to them even if they don’t talk to you first. Take the leaps to not be alone is being alone is a terrible thing. And the only one thing all humans are afraid of in the end. don’t get lost counting the stars and all you had to do is focus on the moon, and don’t let your anxiety control you. If everything was perfect, what would happen, Would anything happen?

Help please wrote: I typed “I am lonely ", found a Wikipedia page about it. Thought this thread must be closed by now. But here it is. I just don’t understand why has it become so unpopular? There’s a pageview analysis tool for wikipeda, which tells how many times an article has been viewed. Average views per day for “i am lonely will anyone speak to me” is less than 30.

That makes me feel even more lonely. Why are recent posts made at a gap of weeks... can somebody summarize the history of this thread. I’m dying alone and I don’t want to feel that way.

Why do I even post here? How does the world work?

Is it useless?

I was here from the very beginning and I can tell you that summarising the history of this thread is not going to be easy nor quick. Here’s an idea: why don’t you spend some time reading it yourself and arrive at your own conclusions?

As for asking why are recent posts made at a gap of weeks - how on earth is anybody supposed to know the answer to that? Please don’t get so hung up on such trivial things...

I’m sorry that you feel that you are dying alone, but it doesn’t have to be that way, so if you want to ask half-decent questions or would like to get something off your chest then feel free. I’m always willing to lend an ear and help out in any way that I can...

It’s kind of odd, how this is up for such a long while. Heh.

Posting in a historic thread

roughly a decade and a half ago. it has been active throughout many eras of this site. this site, however, was down for a period of roughly 14 months, from december 2016, t0 february 2018. the user base, had already changed dramatically prior to the shutdown

but, alas, this thread is still here. there are still people here, still people to talk to
