Why does life have to be like this?
In a world with so many people, why do so many of us feel so alone? Me being one of them. I'm tired of being lonely but it seems the older i get, the harder that it is to make friends.

in my life travelling has been a good part of what made me develop a skill at meeting people. I almost always travel alone and I go to backpaker hotels from the lonely planet books (or the french equivalent). in these places are other travelers anll eager to interact with other backpackers. if that's not your scene there are other touristy activities . at home volunteering or joining groups that do activities is also a way. when i travel I meet like 10 or 20 people every day , no metter where I am i just talk with whoever is there. and when I'm not traveling i just continue to just talk with people all over the place. you don't "look for friends" , you talk and interact with everyone and sometimes , some of them become friends.

@sree251 I love travelling but because I love travelling it has had the effect of developing my social skills, there are other ways, as I have already said. and yes , it cost money, but I think its an awesome way to spend money and have never regretted a cent spent. and yes, it requires effort but effort is good for our body and our mind, its a fundamental truth, life requires pressure and effort to stay strong. I travel for about two months every year but I live a simple life the rest of the time. each person has his priorities, I love adventure.

@reflectingmonkey I understand what you are saying. I am a traveler also. I would spend 6 months a year abroad (visa stay limitation) living in various places. A transient life has the benefit of being free of attachments to people and places and things. I don't have relationships and Iike feeling alone. You can never be alone as long as you have money.

I know what you are saying. I have met people in my travels. Relating with them in the real world is not much different from talking to you online. I don't need to get physical if that is what you mean. If I don't need to do that, then it is mental communication. Writing online is as good as face to face conversation.
Meeting people online is NOT meeting people! If you actually travelled and you actually met people in the real world, you would know better than to suggest that you meet people online. You don't meet anyone online!
