WHY ARE YOU HERE?

[h3donist]

I'm here to help and be helped.

and deliver a swift Spinning Bird Kick to the face of any challengers?

I don't know why I am here?! I guess you've all become like my dysfunctional family - only I don't have to go to any uncomfortable gatherings.

Interesting you ask that. I'm not lonely inasmuch as living alone and feeling isolated, but being family orientated I enjoy socialising online quite absorbing. Since three years ago my returning to forum has been rather a challenge, but I've made friends that have given me good guidance when needed. I find the forum games, for example, quite compelling. They are always fun and a jolly good way of getting to know people.

Hi, Mousey I remember you x

There are indeed some good people on this fine forum

And to the original poster as to why I am here?

Because mostly, I need to 'be around' and converse with people who are in a similar position to myself or/and who understand what I've gone through and am currently going through (more you depressed-heads out there)

Why am I here?

At first .. well, I originally came here because I was lonely (surprise, surprise). At the time, very few people to talk with online, and none in real life (and pretty much none online now too it seems). When I saw this place, I hoped that there would be people, or at least someone, here that I could strike up some regular communication with. Maybe eventually exchange emails, and chat. Maybe someone to share interests with. Maybe someone to play games with online (PS4, XBox 1, Xbox360, and iOS). I guess I just hoped to find someone, or a small few people, and we wouldn't have to be alone, as much, any more ....

That's why I am here. Or was here. Because none of that feels like it is going to happen.

Cucuboth, Have you tried the chat room? right now there are people in there. It usually gets busy around 6pm-1am EST. give it a shot.

Also, play in the games thread, I've found it easy to strike up some conversations by the way some people answer!

Good luck!

I'm here because I have no friends and no partner.

Easy enough to understand, right.

I'm here because I have few friends. My 2 best friends who are more like brothers to me are not around much these days. Both got married this year and they are the type who give all their attention to their significant others rather than their friends. Sometimes I feel I'm better off alone, but this depresses me even more. I was doing really good by getting healthy. I went from 300lbs. down to 232lbs. But as soon as the holidays hit I gained a little and after that life went downhill. I'm back up to 250lbs. and am trying to get my act together, but it's hard. I'm hoping to meet people like me who've been ditched in their lives. I'm that one friend in the group who never gets a woman, so I'm always ending up alone.

To chat with others like me. To make friends. To stop feeling so depressed. To help others.

At first I came to here because I was really lonely, sad and desperate. I needed some support. Why I am still here? Yes, I still feel lonely and quite sad but this is my internet home now. Few great friends here and wanting to help others too.

Jafo, that's some serious good work! Yeah ok, so you went up some, but it's still really amazing.

Well If i could put more emphesis on the fact that there are few people here who really are great to greater length, makes me come here everyday.

I like the people on here and visiting ALL lifts my spirits when I'm feeling down and lonely

Boredom and lack of friends or availability of friends, mostly.
Social anxiety, depression, and adversarial lifestyle conflictions for my area keep me from going out and being more socially active. So, it makes more sense to just be online and entertaining and distracting myself.

I'm here simply because I don't have friends, just a lot of acquaintances. I'm also here because I crave intelligent and relatable conversations. This forum is a good vent for people and from observing other threads its easy to conclude that the community is a helping hand, since we're all here due to one ultimate reason - a lonely life.
