when you live a lonely life & there's no quick easy solution to it

what do you do?

i have lived alone for 20 years now, i lost touch with the friends from my youth and now my only support network are my elderly mum and dad who live very far away....i live alone in a little flat....i don't go out very much now because i get paranoid about people and very anxious.......so i live a lonely existence and it's very difficult to bear.







it's like i get it in to my head that society has forgotten i'm here, i'm all alone in the world and an intense feeling of 'desolation'.

my one goal now is to find a partner, but my mother often tells me, ' she won't come knocking at your front door, i've got to get out there'.

i realize that but it's very hard for me...there's no easy fix to this dreadful loneliness, what can be done or how can i handle it?

i'm now in my late 40s.

Mom is right..she won’t be knocking on ur door. Get out there, expose urself. That’s the only way. Take risks..
