Lonely

Lucky for me that I was never attractive to begin with then. Can't lose what you don't have. ;)

Super Easy!

Take 3 pieces of colored yarn 4 feet long and braid them
Hook each end to the top corners of a piece of paper
Say a quick prayer, smile
Write "Lonely" on the paper in big letters
Hang the paper around your neck and go somewhere people are a lot


Thats not bad exercise there

I was going to say "or the opposite" but I see this is a human deal. If they go natural they barely notice and you just have to think one day they might. Its easy for us, i got no idea what women/divinity are except run.

Those aren't bad at all, except so many counselors are freaks more fkd up than their clients and completely amoral.
But the introspection, survey tools can help even people with no intention of doing anything but lump

it can be tough out there...i spent many years alone in my 30's...

by choice sort of.

glad i did..

you get that inner time that so many people need to do but never do.

at least for me

in retrospect wouldn't trade the loner times for much..

Go out in nature, hike, meditate that is healing then visualize exactly who you want to attract in your life. Noting will happen overnight. The power to manifest your reality does work but requires energy and focus, emotion.

Welcome to the club I am your male counterpart isolated and caring for a older disabled relative.
Life sucks it’s harsh but true you aren’t guaranteed anything in this life.
Suck it up buttercup.

I wish I could give you a hug!!!

I was always extremely active when I was younger. I was a gymnast and springboard diver. I can occasionally get back on the diving boards for some fun and trips down memory lane. But I'm so busy providing for my family and taking care of my mom that I can't get out like that anymore. Not right now anyway. I also do enjoy writing, but not for others, just for myself. I am working on learning to speak Spanish. It would be nice to visit a spanish speaking country and learn by immersion. But that's not doable at the moment, especially with the covid restrictions. I will never take the vax so may not ever be able to travel outside the US if things don't ever settle down.
Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate them.

I do enjoy reading what the nut jobs on GLP have to say. And yeah, life could be worse. I'm glad it is not.

Thank you for the kindness.

I don't want to take away anything from the Bible, but a church setting often doesn't seem to be the place to meet people who will take the time to be sincerely interested in your life. All the more so when the issues involved have deep roots. On the flip side, maybe you should see if there is some volunteer work available through the church, in which you may meet people.

Simple Daily Faith & Living

Trust in the Father and the Son fully

Thank the Father for sending His Son to us

Thank Jesus for doing the Father's Will

Repent to God the Father for your sins

Give thanks for daily blessings...regardless of how simple / "ordinary" they may seem

Love others and forgive them as necessary

Pray for others and help them if possible

Read the Bible and ask Jesus or the Father for guidance concerning it

Pray / ask the Father to show HIS WILL for you to do

Share your "testimonies" of what God and Jesus have done for you

These are lonely times for many people. I'll pray for you. Remember, God is always with us.

I've found loneliness in hobby groups and in christian bible studies. Hobby groups are sometimes a lot of one upsmanship and sometimes you are just messing around trying to get into something, or anything different than you did before.

Unfortunately for me they (bible and hobbies) just don't fill the hole I might be seeking. What if you are trying to know about God and go to a study group that is working on the book of Judges? If they are a baby christian they might end up hating the whole religion if the foundation is laid over crooked foundation like that book. I have nothing against the book of Judges, it just makes for a bad place to start studying the bible (I speak from experience being a baby christian starting a bible study in this exact situation). Judges is ____w history and nothing more. It doesn't show what people should do it shows the exact opposite...

I've found few things as satisfying as teaching someone something as a tutor, especially about an art I may have mastery of but few else do. It keeps art alive.

Churches are full of faces that most of which look different outside than they do inside of it. Last time I went to church it was on western Easter Sunday. No one talked to me unless I talked to them and they seemed to be annoyed when I told them I was saved by the the water, blood, and spirit of Jesus Christ. They were more interested in talking about their recent prescription drug experience (the one posing as a vaccine). I wish I was making this up. SMH

I'm great friends with my 3 nearest neighbors. Used to be 4 but our elder lady left for NC. Friends are not one and done. You gotta always be there for them even when they are not always there for you.

Please know that you are loved here my friend.

God bless you

This is good advice.

This is how my dad made friends. He went everywhere and everywhere.

Has it occurred to you that all this awake and asleep stuff could be designed to seperate people just in a non fysical manner like the flu lockdowns?

Realize that this stage is temporary. You said that you still have 5 years of child rearing.

Make the most of the time with your children while you can. After they move out you will miss them more than you expect.

Appreciate the people around you and realize that this stage is temporary.

Everyone should have more than enough love from The Christ to have a surplus for others, on hand, every day.

I scoffed at counseling for years. But when the student was ready the teacher appeared.

YUP,,,

Hey OP

you're not alone!

I'm in the same boat, and I know there's plenty of us out there all alone, in the same solitary confinement. You can inbox me if you need to chat. There's life out there, but somehow we just don't fit. I get it.
chin up! and let's learn to enjoy our loneliness. God Loves You.

The women I know got better with age, if they weren't always rotten to begin with. Better in a lot of ways. They are wiser, more forgiving, nicer, better cooks, more responsible, can appreciate little things more. You don't need lust to appreciate half of the species.

You are not alone. Our lord loves you and he is always there for us. I have been alone for many years now, but I am never really alone through my internet and Christian Family. Think of this alone time as a blessing granted to you! Our Lord has chosen you to be someone special. Cherish this time and use it well.

I couldn't agree more.

When you can find true happiness, peace and comfort being alone, then you're ready to share yourself.

That’s right.

I’m very sorry. My suggestion is simple but may be very effective
Get a puppy and raise it as if it’s family
You won’t have to worry about being lonely

i will have sex with you. Sex always makes me feel better it should for you to. Im here to help

Nonsense. Everyone is different. Being alone is not for everyone.
