I Am Lonely

Darn loneliness. I didn't invite you into my life. You make me long for connection. You bring sadness.

How am I surrounded by people and still feel empty?

the company of others with who there is no connection can be the loneliest place in the world

Yes, I know this to be true. I was married almost 27 years. I was so lonely in my marriage.

I think I need to figure this out some how. I want to be rid of this bad energy. @EuphoricTurtle

That's an incredibly long time in which to feel lonely (hopefully it wasn't the whole time), and it's easy to become convinced that if you were lonely with someone then it will only become worse when they're gone.

It's not true. Loneliness isn't a curse that was thrust upon you, nor is it a burden for you to bare until the end of time. Take some chances, reach out and you'll find that there are others looking for the same company you're searching for.

Watch out for weirdos by all means...but don't shy away from what could be what you've been searching all along.
