It is how I feel I wish I had someone to talk to, I miss my friend so even though she treated me like dirt, I still miss chatting to her.

Why do I feel so lonely? I hate it so muuch

I hear ya, I recently lost my best friend. We see each other all the time, but we don't talk anymore. I'll wave to her or say hello, but I just receive dirty looks. It's a bummer, but I've made new friends, and gotten closer with some of the friends I was drifting away from. Try an make some new friends! Put yourself out there for making them, others don't always have to make the first move. Good luck!

I don't go out to make friends though that is my problem, Maybe I am just being stupid. Thanks anyway.x

Loneliness is painful. It's even more painful when you're lonely in a crowd.

Buttercup, you are the mother of four teenagers. That must take a lot out of you (understatement!). On top of that, you've been through some terrible (another understatement) stuff. I'm impressed you are where you are.

I wish I had some real anti-loneliness advice to give or techniques to share; I don't -- I'm pretty much a recluse.

Please hug your Westie for me.
