Do you always feel lonely in flourishing city?

I can understand your feelings. When I first moved to Adelaide, a city of 1 million people, I came from a country town of 17,000. I found it lonely at first. But I made friends at work. I would invite them to my place for coffee, & they would invite me to theirs for a meal. Is there a sporting club you could join? Or maybe a chess club?

i am a student in Chongqing. i have friends and classmates around me, so usually i don't feel lonely. but anyway, everyone has his own lonely time. solitude sometimes really does good to us. maybe you can cultivate some hobbies to spend your free time. i love reading and surfing the internet. do what you're interested in can make you happy. :) and maybe you can try to make new friends in Dalian. if you don't mind, i'd like to be your friend. hehe.

I am very fortunate in that I do not live in a foreign city, I have lived here in Montreal all of my life so I am very fortunate to have all my friends around me. I am sorry that you are lonely it is really hard to make new friends in a strange city.

We moved about 45 miles from where I am actually from. I do not miss it but I really do not like where we live now either. I don't have any friends either other than the ones that I have online. I feel lonely all of the time too. I do have a husband and a daughter to keep me company sometimes though.

Hi Sprout-fortunatley I live in the country though my family do live in the city,we do see each other as often as possible but i could never live in the city-there is only one place i will go when i feel the need for a burst of energy and uplifting and that is a place called Glastonbury in the UK-it is a place where you can be yourself and being a pagan their is 95% pagans there so it is nice to meet up with those like minded-littleowl
