I'm going to sound really pathetic and whingey now so you've been warned.
Just been feeling so lonely lately! I have a great family, they support me through everything but I have like 2 friends who are usually busy, I dont have a best friend since she got engaged. I miss having girly chats and stuff and I feel like there's nobody there for me. I think the biggest thing though, silly as it seems, I miss being in a relationship even though I broke up with my ex over a year ago. Don't know what this post is going to achieve if anything, but never mind. Hope everyones having a good Saturday! Much love.

    The first thing you have to understand is that other,whether friends or a romantic relationship are to compliment you and your life not complete it.

    Hardest thing in the world to accept at times but nevertheless is still the case.

    I totally understand how you feel. For me, I'm not close to anyone in my family. My only friend is my boyfriend, and he works super long shifts. I seem to have lost all my "friends" after graduating from high school two years ago. It's just me, alone at home. I really only go out to run errands/go to the gym/go to Uni. Gets lonely...

    You're right and I'm logical enough to know things will probably get better, but at the minute I'm just feeling pretty rubbish.

    Just know you are not alone in feeling this way. I don't have friends to hang out with and I left my husband so no relationship
    for me either.

    I get down but I look at this as a time to be me and do what makes me happy. I am meeting new people and enjoying working on myself. The right people will come along just try to look for the good in the time you are at in your life.

    Keep your chin up

    I feel that same way. I stopped dating six months ago. I realized all the guys I were attracting were abusive jerks. I have friends at church, but the christian guys at church I would like to date, I just don't understand them. I think they all see me as a friend rather then anything more. I used to have alot of "guy friends" but when I stopped having sex they all disappeared. I have a crazy past, and desperately am trying to improve it. When I feel alone I read books, or pray, spend time with God. I know not everyone believes in God. It is just what works for me. Also listening to music is a good way to feel better.

    Feel the same. Not close to my family at all. My friends and I have drifted apart as I am single and don't have children while most of them are married with children. I love my life and am happy most of the time but I just have these moods every so often where I feel sad and low; I would love to have a little group of people I can call up any time to go for a walk, or coffee, or to see a movie...you know. :) Anyway, for me, I'm sure it'll pass.

    WOW you described me almost to a tee. Except I don't have a great family to support me, only my mom and I just get mad at her half the time because she tries to help me by suggesting that I watch my carbs. Her and I have different bodies, I know she is trying to help. My only support and POSITIVE reinforcement comes from MFP. I miss my best friend too, and no one seems to like me at work. I too still am lonely after 2 or so years of being single. Really I am better off without him in my life, but part of me says that he is the only man that will ever want me :( Soooo.... here I am struggling with my weight again, trying to slim down so some superficial dude out there will notice me.
