| Have you really ever felt really lonely?
Posted: 9/23/2007 1:45:13 PM | Lonely men and lonely women
Not much time in life is given
To find that one outstanding friend
Perhaps they lurk around the next bend
Lonliness in the dead of night
Sometimes sad, not feeling right
lonely on the dance floor standing
Watching, waiting, non demanding
Lonely is as lonely does
Never mixing just because
Lonely in the might throng
Lonely listening to Rob Orbison's song
To be lonely is not a crime
Indeed for some it is sublime
Enjoying one's company with disturbance
Out of the cacoon re-emergence
Never lonely standing by the shore
Or up a mountain praise be galore
Lonely watching the lovers meet
Hands clasped as sweethearts greet
Lonely watching from outside
As couples clench each others side
Lonely watching children play
Getting through another day
To be lonely is neither sin or crime
To some alone it feels quite fine
No significant other playing games
Telling lies or calling names
Alone at times is just what's wanted
A time alone the Gods have granted
Use the time to reflect and look and see
If being alone is better than with me | |

| Have you really ever felt really lonely?
Posted: 9/23/2007 3:36:26 PM | | In my last marriage, I was very lonely. He was terminally ill and it took him ten years to die. I have been alone for many years, and I am not as lonely as I was when he was alive. Maybe it is because I am getting older. I just find that if I have a few minutes for myself, I am lucky. I would like to have a special person in my life, but I realize it will probably not be forthcoming. I just focus on work, home, family, staying alive. I guess that is all any of us can really do. | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 3:56:11 PM | i can be at work or pretty much anywhere and
sometimes......... it's just inevitable i'll think about
that special one and miss her too.
Even my late wife after 3 years of her passing,
yup....to this day.
Like someone said, it's all in how you deal with it. | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 4:07:40 PM | Yes I have.
Like I do right now in fact, but it's more like I feel so very much alone as opposed to just feeling lonely....it's that 'aloneness' that is almost unbearable at times it seems....that feeling that you just don't belong anywhere and you never will...that complete solitude of body and mind in a world that's gone mad.

Posted: 9/23/2007 4:10:10 PM | Abso-freaking-lutely! But what are you gonna do? You can't help it. You can't change it. Your heart feels what it wants to, you can just deal with it and move on! I try to lose myself in work... try to occupy my thoughts with anything but the one I'm missing. Then I start to wonder if it was all in my imagination. And that makes me even more lonely... Damn vicious cycle! I haven't a clue... | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 4:12:12 PM | I would have to say the deepest and longest loneliness I have ever experienced - was 13 years of marriage - I've never felt lonely again since parting ways... I guess I am too filled with relief and gratitude at my new life since then to really miss something never experienced anyway..
Lonely is looking across a room with someone you love and you have absolutely nothing in your toolbox that can get through the ice wall barrier - that's lonely!
There is no defence against silence...I wouldn't even do it someone I utterly despised.
Firefighter, you really make me feel for those little kids, when I have transport again, I am inspired to be there for little one's like that - I would not've thought such abandonment possible. Maybe the best cure for loneliness is to be there for someone else... | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 6:18:18 PM | yes I have... the loneliest I ever felt was after my late husband passed away and I took the kids to a George Strait concert. In the crowded arena with 50,000 other people, I had never felt so alone. And it didn't help listening to the words of the songs that he was singing. Thinking back, maybe I should have gone and looked at cars instead of going to that concert..  | |

Posted: 11/15/2007 8:49:34 PM | Lonlyness is a matter of perception...So long as you have a working mind (which never dies anyway) and know how to use it, you should never be lonely...NEVER!
If you love yourself, you would never be lonely. Having good company or the correct mate is a joyful experience but not having said company has absoutely nothing to do with being lonly, for you can be with that special someone and still feel lonely at times...it all depends on your thoughts | |

Posted: 11/23/2007 3:15:17 PM | Yes, that happens to me. Sometimes, I wonder if I'll ever find someone who will love me and appreciate me for me. Usually, though, the optimist in me speaks up and says, "Duh! You've got a lot to offer, Jim. Just gotta be patient!" And then I go on with life.
However, your mileage may vary.

Posted: 11/23/2007 4:41:37 PM | | Yes, all the time. Even though I'm always busy with my children, I miss him so much. My house can just be filled with people, but I'm lonely because he isn't here. | |

but it's more like I feel so very much alone as opposed to just feeling lonel
I agree that I feel more alone than opposed to lonely myself. I think about it all the time. We just have to keep moving forward and keep ourselves occupied. Though I often feel so alone even in the company of family or friends.
This is an excerpt taken from my journal that I had written a year ago and thought I would share. I normally only share my writings with people that I am close to. I still feel pretty much this way every day as described below.
"I am surrounded by many friends and family when I decide I want
to be around them..............yet I am so alone. I wish this
feeling would pass , but it continues to haunt me every day and
only gets worse. The more people that surround me, the more alone
I become. My eyes shed no tears, my heart is done
bleeding and my existence is holding onto hope. I have never felt
so alone as I do tonight. "
edit** oldsoul, after posting this I was reading backwards through posts and saw your post #248 pretty much said what my journal was refering to. | |

Posted: 11/23/2007 7:21:32 PM | | I sooo want to remarry someday and not be alone and find someone that will be good to me. *sigh* So ya, I feel lonely sometimes and sometimes I feel good being alone and single. I am not needy for a man by a longshot but i very much miss having someone to cook for and to snuggle next to. Ya being lonely sucks but we all feel that way at one point or another. | |

Posted: 11/23/2007 8:07:57 PM | | I feel really lonely right now. It's friday night, I have nothing to do, no one to do anything with. No one I know is online to chat with. I guess they are all out having a life without me. I called several friends, asked what they were doing, they all had plans or said, we'll call you when we decide, but of course, no one called back. 2 random guys IM'd me, but they just wanted to talk sex. I'm lonely, not desperate. | |

Posted: 11/23/2007 8:22:21 PM | Lonely? No.
I like being alone, I think better and can typically get more work done, although I enjoy brainstorming with small groups of people.
I occasionally feel like I'm missing something though, being single and all. It's like being horny - it comes and goes. | |

Posted: 11/23/2007 9:50:32 PM | I am in a similar boat. I moved away from my family for a job in Sept’06. Shortly after my wife and I decided to separated.
I had often felt lonely in my marriage of fifteen years.
Now that I am separated and living in another part of the country, I feel even lonelier. It’s seems to be getting more difficult everyday. I am with ya on the depression thing.
This year my FEX is taking our four kids to Ottawa to spend Christmas with her family. It will be the first time I will not be around at Christmas. I think it will hit me hardest then. Not looking forward to it. | |
