Nobody replies to my posts, messages me, reaches out to me etc. I'm ignored on here, just as I am in real life. It's discouraging to say the least.
 
Well, I was going to ignore you and then laugh for my own amusement. But, I know exactly how you feel. It sucks. So, I decided to respond to your post. Maybe you should try messaging others instead of waiting for others to message you first. 

I also noticed that you logged out immediately after posting the above. That situation seems to repeatedly play out on forums. Not that many people take the initiative to try to get to know others. Instead they just sit back and want others to come to them within a short time frame. "Okay I'm Here!!!! Come on guys!!!! Talk to me!!!!"

I have a feeling the same thing happens IRL. Try going up to a stranger and start a conversation. You'll be surprised that most are eager to talk with you. Sure, they might not like you or you may even repel them, like I usually do. But, you won't be ignored. You'll at least get a few minutes of conversation. You might even find someone else that is lonely and just wants to talk to someone else just like you.

If you aren't a pretty person or a celebrity of some sort you have to initiate. Sorry, but that's just how it is.
 
The only threads that didn't get replies are the threads where you are trying to ask for friends. Two of which are in Networking, which doesn't get a lot of traffic. Look at the other threads. They either have little to no replies or they are older and the OP keeps replying and bumping them to get more action in them.

Are you talking to other people? Take a chance and PM someone, maybe they will respond. It's usually pretty true, that you get what you give, so maybe starting being more open and patient.
 
One may think you can deal with loneliness by relating to other lonely people. At the end is like trying to stop being homeless by trying to meet more homeless people.

Well, one can see that they aren't alone in feeling lonely. But homeless people can't see that they aren't homeless in being homeless. It sure would suck to be both. Talk about being ignored and nobody caring about them.

That's pretty much the case for all of us.
