I Am Lonely

I’ve had people text me on here, we chat for a while (could be minutes, hours) and then nothing. It feels like a total waste of time and energy. I’m just fed up :(.

How many of you’ll feel the same way???

I've realised conversation online fades very quickly most of the time and there are probably many reasons for this. Either people do not want to be invested in someone too much or people have nothing in common to keep talking.

@solitaire I'm sorry. But I'd really suggest for you not to pin your hopes on people here for a continuous sustainable relation. And if it happens and you find good friend/s, that will be a bonus.

@SW-User true

Socializing online is a poor substitute for real life interaction.

Spend more time with your real life friends and family. You will find it much more fulfilling.

It happens some of them are fake and some scared of getting caught up with the fake. This type of "social interaction" can lead to a lot of infatuation and idealism that does not carry over into reality it triggers a type of "playing house" thing and that cuss sucks. There is nothing like real. Real food, real company , real laughter real isn't what's up anyway just talking

Some people just fade away. They do that in real life as well. I have a small group of people here I stay in contact with. You can actually make meaningful relationships here. Some people can't just sit and chat, most here have jobs and are online from work and are governed by workload as to how much time can be devoted. I fall in that category myself. Some days I have a lot of time and some days it is limited. I come here mostly to post stories and poems and an occasional book promo.

You’re a writer? :)

@solitaire I do write, yes.

I still have a few people I talk daily to on here. I can tell if someone can't open up and I give up.

On another note, I really like your username.

Agree, they contact you exchange general chat for a while but don’t actuall go any ware and then disappear, no point at all 🤯

I have just taken a look at my messages.

Some have “departed”.

Some are deceased.

this always happens to me i look forward to my chats then they are gone.

I choose not to feel lonely and therefore I am not lonely.
St0ut · 51-55, M
@mljenkins I get that. But I can also sympathize with her as well
I don't agree to it completely.
Though in certain cases you're right.
i get that all the time. If you want to chat with me i am here most days
Yeap know that feeling for sure

Ditto to what yous said.

That's just how it is with real life friends. You text for a while and then nothing for a while and then text. That's how it works when you have other life obligations and is just realistic.

Yaa this happened with me too.. I want anyone who really interested in friendship here! I look for true and long friendship! Not time pass!

People act like this even outside of the internet. It kinda irritates me too
solitaire · 41-45, F
Na - but on the Internet it’s more volatile and unreliable
Illusionsofthemind · 36-40, M
@solitaire what can I say, the internet brings out the worst in people...
St0ut · 51-55, M
It takes time. The ones you feel a spark with. Persue. The others let go
solitaire · 41-45, F
Sometimes what you think is a spark is a flicker for the other person ...
St0ut · 51-55, M
We are looking for something. The emotions that we feel here are very real. The good and the bad.
solitaire · 41-45, F
Hmm
so are you genuinely interested in knowing people or just stuck with replying to those who message you?
SW-User
This place is secondary for most people.. so yeah.. it's very inconsistent.
