I happen to feel very lonely sometimes..it can happen very often during these days and I must admit that mylot helps me a lot with it..because I can come here and speak of my feelings, or ask for a hug when I need it the most or only write here and I feel less alone and I feel better..am I the only one? do you ever feel the same? I am lucky to say that I met with very nice people here and they are able to send me their affection even only by mails and responses on mylot..and I am here to thank them and you all for your affection and friendship. it is precious!!!

just like love, friends can be found anywhere and anytime... even in the most bizaare situations and even during unexpected times. they come along giving a smile into our hearts.
although people come and go. they leave a mark in our lives that one day, we met and shared good and bad moments with them. hoping that someday, our roads will cross again.
i feel down sometimes and even angry. and it's only in myLot where i can release those negative feelings at. a lot of people here are willing to listen, give advices and even just give us the courage to stay on the race of life. there are myLot people who are even there for us making it sure that we are doing okey. thing is, they do worry, too.
i am amazed on how myLot has brought people from around the globe together. and finding YOU as a friend (who always need a hug by the way... hehe.. kidding!) is one great thing i'll always be thankful for being in myLot... anne

oh maribea, you are not alone, i can relate to that completely. sometimes, i feel lonely, secluded, sad, i want to do so many things biot i can't , i feel a strange numbness engulfs me. in those times, mylot helps me let go my sadness. i feel elevated with the exchange of thought processes. my friends, like you, kind of, help me a lot to live again.
thank you for being my friend.

I count Mylot as an extension of my real world acquaintances and friends. I am a busy lady so no time to be lonely. Could always go to the library and meet a couple of people or the mall and maybe even shop and talk to a couple of people. There is so many ways to be around and find conversation if you really need or want to. Good luck with this.

Tis true that you may have some work to do to improve or solidfy something in you. Well worth a bit of time and enjoyment for the solitude that can help you along. I wish you much luck and hope that the growing process is not painful for you. Take care!!

thank you for your advice..I am doing my best to find the proper sort of conversation and company..it seems this is not the right period for me.maybe it is because of me..anyway the conversations I have here are something adding to real life and have their own special value...of course this doesn't mean that we have to escape real life to live online!!! he he ..ciao and thanks mb

Mylot is a great community. I tell everyone that. A lot of people on here are very genuine, knowledgable and compassionate.
The only issue I see with the Internet in general is that there are a lot of lonely people out there and instead of getting out and becoming active they are coming online and having all kinds of online friends. This is good but also bad because they aren't getting the one on one face to face interaction that we all as humans need.

i do agree with you that nothing is better than a moment spent in our real life with a good friend..but sometimes life can leave us alone and so until we find our new way, online friends can help us...and we can hope to meet them one day or another..I am the one who hope to meet some of my friends here in order to give our friendship a better chance!!!!

Maribea, we all have times of loneliness, feeling down and sad. Whenever I post something that makes me feel blue, my friends at MyLot gather around and pick me up with their kind words and happy thoughts. I am glad that we have connected. Huggers to you.

"Today I found a friend
who knew everything I felt
she knew my weakness
and the problems I've been dealt.
She understood my wonders
and listened to my dreams,
she listened to how I felt about life and love
and knew what it all means."
I am glad to have you as my friend..:)

me too, i always feel that way especially when i'm broke and no money to spend to go to some places that relaxes me...so i spend more time here in mylot to try to gain friends...read inspiring responses and very comforting words...it really entertains me and somehow let's forget me forget that i have huge problems ahead of me...and just by being here and posting my responses...has really made me express what my thoughts are about very important issues...things that i would not normally think about and would consider a very deep thinking and now i am doing it which cool and very relaxing and hey...it is life...and that is what it is all about and there is nothing really special about...so simple, so beautiful....duh..duh..duh...duh

i think that the more we learn how to express politely our feelings, the more we learn about ourselves and others...it is impressive how when speaking of our feelings we can find other people feeling the same and we can help them deal with their feelings too...hope you are feeling well now

knowing that we're not the only one in a situation makes us realize that there are other people like us, too. feeling down, lonely and alone. and still they are trying to keep up even if circumstances keep on pushing them down.
so, getting happy thoughts from people anywhere can make us feel WE CAN DO IT!... anne

I can't agree with you more.Mylot is always here....sometimes we can just come and read if we fell tired or response and fell a part of a big family.Can make us forget for while what going on at our live and as you say can help a lot when we fell alone.
It's not problem that we can't see each other....I believe these sometimes can help even more.I mean is more easy to ask a hug or tell your problem to someone you will not need face tomorrow.These can make us shy or fell awkward but here at mylot we don't.
I hope you include me at your friends too...more hugs and kisses.

Hi, maribea, you are right. Mylot kill the lonelyness. Actually prior to joining mylot I used to waste time without doing anything constructively. I always used to feel depressed due to my old bad memories. Now, after joining Mylot I started feeling better because I can use the extra time in expressing my thoughts by answering to their questions and also it helps to know lot of people's feeling about their outlook on different subject.

We have desame emotions sometimes, actually I will to post one right now but I saw your discussion and I prefer to answer itcoz the topic is relevant. I feel lonely right now from the morning I wake up till now my loneliness is in my heart I can't say the reasons why. But your right mylot is the best remedy for these kind of situation that we can exprresed our through feelings and somehow even not actually seen our friends in person we really feel they are here and present in this moment of loneliness in our lives. But don't worry maribea it will pass maybe tomorrow happiness will come to both of us.

Well, Maribea, I am hoping you are not feeling lonely today. I also like Mylot, especially because it puts an individual perspective on international issues. I think that is the best thing about Mylot, that there are people from all over sharing their views. I wouldn't get to chat with people from Italy all that often, otherwise!
