I feel lonely too. never married, no kids, 34. I feel like I'm trapped in a broken car that's in the middle of the street with everyone going around me. I'm stuck. everyone my age is married or has kids.. it's tough to find a male counterpart , single no kids. went to school and no career. I had to keep my highest degree off my resume in order to get a job that paid as much as I earned while in college (14 years ago). no accomplishments.

seems like everywhere I am I'm reminded that I'm alone. if I watch tv, the advertisements all show loving couples or young families, or retired folk with their grandkids,m. if I'm out in the street it's the same. started a new job and the girl I worked with who has 3 kids asked how many I had... I said ... I've been married to my jobs... I never felt lonelier and depresses, I just wanted to get out of there. the fact that I have lots of student loan debt and bills kept me in that chair.

loneliness! it's is own emotional disease! people say, stay busy, but what do you do when you try and don't have passion to do it because you know it won't make you happy and fulfilled.. like you are when you have someone to love and that loves you back?

been down ever since. this coming from the heels of getting dumped, where I know I messed up...

but I feel guilty for complaining about loneliness... .I found out that my ex boss's son, who was 30 lost his battle to cancer 2 days ago. I feel terrible. for my boss for his family, for that wonderful kid who had just passed the bar exam a month before he got diagnosed.. his career was just starting, he will never feel the love of. a person, getting married, having kids. time is fleeting. I can't get over that. he's gone. I'm in disbelief.
