Nearly 6 n half thousand people following this group.....

Yet barely any stories/posts. It's no wonder we are all lonely is it lol. I'm going through a bit of a tuff time right now and it's highlighted to me how few people in my life actually give a crap about me. I like to think I'm a strong person but sometimes it's hard to maintain that isn't it. Not posting for sympathy or guidance but just thought I'd post to reassure those who lurk here it's sometimes good to talk ❤️

Thanks for opening up and sharing. I'm glad it's a space you can do that. I hope it does inspire more posting. I struggle with posting, especially at my loneliest, I suspect it's some social anxiety. I feel like I'm bothering people when I do.

@woodyemma2013 I through ups and downs on here. Periods of posting and replying a lot than long silences. I do come around more when I'm getting messages, replies, and great conversation.

@woodyemma2013 I agree, can't quite put my finger on it though. If you ever feel left out, or needing company, to vent, whatever. My PM's are always open.

Well said @woodyemma2013, it is said that this is probably one of the most popular groups on the site. I hope your tuff time passes quickly.

Just shows that most users of this site are introverts. Some more introverted than others though.

Sometimes, mental illness makes it difficult for the lonely to reach out and put words down about the reasons behind their loneliness.

@woodyemma2013 I've just about given up on getting some ears myself... I know that there's not a lot that others can do to help me - but sometimes, it's a huge help when they just acknowledge that they heard me.

It's not like I'm listened to in real life.
