I understand how you feel about being lonely. I sometimes feel so helpless. I feel like I'm trapped and deserted. My wife left me about a month and a half ago. I know that I'm going through some separation issues but my fear is that I will always be alone and have to learn to cope with it. My days are very empty and I wonder sometimes why I even bother to get out of bed. I sometimes have problems with connecting to others and I can be very, very shy too. I really hate the loneliness the most it's devastating.
