You know your lonely when...

I am sorry you are all so lonely. I can't really relate. I spend most of my time dodging people and I have a lot of responsibilities. Not much time to do the multitude of things I want to do.

you get a spam email about imigration law and feel happy that someone cared to write you something

you go to get a chocolate bar out of the fridge- open the wrapper and it breaks in 2, so you dance with the chocolate

your house doesn't even have any spiders for you to get rid of

even the tv is fuzzy

@raging vortex...You sound pretty interesting to me.....I would BS with you on the front porch (provided I had time, of course....)

interesting in what way?

now I'm curious

Your little quips.....they are entertaining..... I like to laugh and so little amuses me when it comes to people.

you should check out some of my game threads.

"a-z of things we want to say about gifts but too ashamed too".

you want to play trivial pursuit, but you can't because it's for 2 players

you wonder if the postman actually delivers you more mail because he feels sorry for you

you write a book on, "surviving isolation", because you're such a pro at it

the voices in your head don't even want to talk to you

When you get fed up with the junk e-mail in your email box and consider sending unsubscribe to all of it, but then know you won't feel as popular coming out after work and going from seeing 23 in the inbox to 2. So you let the junk mail just keep coming.

hahahhaa!!!!:rotflmao:

or the other way round

you're so lonely you look for stuff to subscribe to

any old crap

I do it all the time

you don't have any stuffed toys in the house

when you call a helpline for "lonely people", and are told through an automated service, " sorry, we are closed right now."

you've made up a game which involves sitting on your bed counting how many times you can actually hear something that isn't your own breath (and score yourself for it). 10 points for the birds, 20 points for the cars, etc

you worry that when you die, not even the nurses will be in the room with you

Hi, Miss Emily, great thread.

Strangely enough, my only contribution to it is to report that as an extreme introvert, I don’t tend to get lonely. Quite the opposite. Usually I can,t get away from people fast enough. One of the practically nonexistent “advantages” of introversion. Actually I didn’t tink there were any until I saw this thread. So thanks.

You’ve had some great - and touching - replies here.

Most of the time I am that way too but on occasion I get a twinge of lonely feeling.

Good thing there's this huge ethereal community (US) out here to emote to at those times!

Hugs.....

- your own family reject you

- your internet goes down and it's the end of the world

- your therapist suggests that you join a group, and you wonder what the word group actually means
