I do know how you feel about loneliness. I don't really have any friends at all. I have one person that I hang out with. He's a guy, just a buddy. After I lost my ex I just have become a loner, so I guess you could blame myself for that.

I don't really ever complain about being alone, because my ex was such wonderful company that I couldn't settle for anything else, if that makes sense.

I am here to mostly give my advice. When I was younger I had a few things I needed to get out. I think my purpose in life is to help others, because I have been through a lot of things in my short life (lower-20's).

I can't speak for everyone, but I do try to at least give a reply to someone even if I don't have much to say. ESPECIALLY when I can tell they really are crying out for help or if they have not been replied to yet. I also think I can give rather adequate advice because of all I have been through. Obviously, I can't get to everyone. I do try to read most threads, but there just isn't enough time in the day to read and reply to every single one. I also reply to things that are in my "field", if you will. Things I feel like I can give an accurate response to. There are certain threads I don't reply to because I just haven't had experiences in that, and I certainly don't want to give the wrong advice. I reply to general cries for help and to things I can relate to and/or have a helpful response to.

Just know that just because you aren't being responded to doesn't mean you aren't being heard. We may just not see your particular thread, or perhaps it is a day where our time is even more limited. I know it doesn't feel good, but as you can see by the posts in this thread we DO care. I also sometimes read a thread and then wait to generate a response. I am human and sometimes forget to go back to the thread, other times I reply later.

Anyways, it is just an explanation from the other side haha. I do apologize though, and I hope the fact that you generated some heartfelt replies here will help . Please do keep posting, we do care and your voice will be heard!
