I'm so sorry...
It may not be much, but I hope all of you who are suffering can find some relief here, be it a small olive branch of friendship or a kind word.
I also suffer from lonliness being a sufferer of BPD...the disorder not only centers around my need for human connection but likewise pushes people away and alienates me (due to stigma mainly). I understand...it may not be much, but I understand.
I have always felt a large empty space in myself that no person, no thing or even myself can fill. I've experienced people close to me, lovers, friends, relationships ,family...nothing fills the lonliness because it is a part of me. I find no relief in the statements of encouragement and consolation that Mr. V is talking about, yet dole them out hoping they will help others...
At least, I find relief in knowing I'm not alone in my feeling...and you're not, I feel this way quite often, more often than I wish I did...That's all I can offer, is my understanding and my empathy...I get it. I live it.
