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 am lonely, too. You have all my empathy. It's not always easy to make friends as you age.

@greenmountaingal I find this to be true. The older we are, it is harder to find friends. Maybe extroverts have an easier time of it, although I do wonder how meaningful those friendships are. Those on the more introverted spectrum, and deep thinkers, need more meaningful friendships with people with whom they have a good rapport.
