I read this article today: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/how-to-break-the-dangerous-cycle-of-loneliness?utm_source=pocket-newtab Based on that, I' don't have many years left it seems. I posted here years ago, and nothing has changed in my life. ****** childhood, abandoned and rejected by...

When I met her and gave her the ring, he was a nice quiet shy kid...that was 3 years ago. only this past January, after 4 months in high school, did he turn. Hooked up with the wrong crowd. Cant blame him, as he is full of anger...teenage years, fitting in with the cool kids in high school, mom...

Posted here a few years ago, and since. Not going to rehash it. It's all in my history. But 3 years ago, I met someone I connected with like no one else. My PTSD interfered with us a few times in the first year but I got the treatment lacking before, and the last 2 years with her were awesome...

"....why don't you...." • join a club • join a team • join a group • join a church • volunteer • help out with... You know why? Of course you do...because it makes things worse. For me anyway. Because if I do any of those things, I'm surrounded by people and I have a good...

Lonely, things don't work out, blah blah blah... But, the subconscious, the subconscious knew of my depression and root cause of sadness and loneliness before I did. Spent a few years in NYC while growing up. Radio City and Broadway, got hooked on music and musicals....by the way, anyone...

Posted my lonely life a few years back in another thread...look it up if you want. Backstory is this. Marriage ended many years back, over, done, amen. Dated and dated till I met someone almost 3 years ago. After many of the incompatible single ladies I met, this lady and I clicked from the...

OK, I get it, we all are lonely here, right? But, we had anchors we could rely on to fill the void. People who seemed to talk to us, night after night, made us laugh, made us forget, for a bit, our loneliness. They were the anchors that could be counted on to be there, and if one was not...

I have my picture up at the end of my "Thank you parents and bullies...." post.....I have to say, I don't look half bad.....at 57, many ladies have told me I am handsome. I don't and can't believe it. You see, from pretty much the moment I was born, my biological mother whom I wrote a bit...

@Peaches I remember in the 1970's, there were ads in the back of magazines, showing a man with his hand on a childs shoulder, photographed from behind, and both were a distance from a populated playground. The caption was words to the effect of, "How do you expect your child to be social with...

@ Despicable Me I do understand what you are trying to say. Harsh, for sure. Not here to get into a forum argument. You judge and jump to conclusions and offer opinion without having all the facts. Not everyone who posts on a forum seeks answers. Sometimes we just want to vent. How do you...

I explained why I'm here in other posts...feel free to look it up. My estranged father with whom I communicate via email once or twice a month, lives in Germany with wife #4. She is sickly but hangs on to dear life. He is her caregiver, has been for decades. He has no friends, and they have...

Around where I live, go to any bar or pub on any given night and you see men in their 40's to 60's, sitting alone at the bar, nursing a beer.... These men used to be someone's father, someone's husband. The marriage ended, the kids grew up, and society threw these men out on the curb. I know...

Thanks for the comments...I did write for a living, so putting thoughts down on paper was not difficult....living with this is.
