I Am Lonely

According to this report, loneliness is worse for your health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day or being obese, if it lasts longer than 2-weeks. I’ve been lonely for years, and sometimes the pain of loneliness made my chest ache so bad that I thought it would kill me. I hope my regular exercise and healthy diet, negate the stress of it on my health.

I’ve been feeling extremely lonely off late. Nearly teared up in office as well.

@solitaire It can be soul destroying at times. I cope with it better now, but it’s still coping, not relief from it. I hope you find the connection you need to alleviate this stress. 🤗💐

Thank you :) 🤗. I was reading a post about how you’d like a platonic male friend. That’s exactly what I’m seeking too. I hope I find someone like that from the real world

@solitaire I wish you well with finding a good male friend. I’ve never found one in the real world, but I think you being younger, it may increase your chances.

Yeah it’s difficult to find a good guy friend. One who has no romantic or sexual interest

@solitaire It's pretty much impossible if the guy is heterosexual.

@solitaire I think when women say they have platonic male friends, I believe it’s from their perspective only. Most straight men, are waiting in hope that they’ll get out of the friend zone, and get their “friend” into bed.
