I need to help a friend! Can you give advice?

I was about to pass up this discussion, as I too hate being alone, its the very reason why I picked up and moved to my grandmother's house when my children's father left us. But I just had an idea that would solve her problem, and put some money into your pocket. Does she have a computer? Internet? Introduce her to MyLot!!! She will have all the friends she needs here. She can get her feelings out, and get responses from all over the world. Well, I don't have to sell you on the idea, you're already here!!! So sell her on the idea of MyLot. Once she gets hooked the problem will be getting her to leave the house lmao!!!

Being alone is a very terrible experience, it may lead to depression. From now on, her friends should show more concern to her, as for her boyfriend, she can dump him for not taking good care of her or she is just too greedy, having a boyfriend is not enough though she lives alone. How about asking your friend to get married with her boyfriend then have kids then she will not be alone anymore.

When I was younger and alone I was lonely but I have enjoyed my aloneness now for a long time. I would rather be by myself than with someone who treated me unkindly. There are not enough hours in the day. I keep very busy and there is not enough time to do all that I want to do. I don't go out either, I keep busy with my pets, my home and on-line. Your friend is very self absorbed and is feeling sorry for herself. I don't think anyone can help her, she must realise she has to do it for herself. She has to realise she can't depend on others for her happiness and her "life". No-one can give her these things. She cannot expect to get happiness from anyone but herself...she is the one responsible. People learn these truths at different times of their life...some never learn and go through life blaming others for their misery. It's sad but you cannot help these people.

Hi slickcut. Sometimes you could be around people and still feel alone,and that could very well be a sign of depression.It sounds as if your friend's feelings of loneliness goes deeper than the physical sense of the word.Her constant need to be around people could be a sign that she has a problem.I wish i could tell you what you can do to help her,but besides having a heart to heart conversation with her i'm at a lost as to what else can be done on your part.I wouldn't say she is nuts though.

It's quite confusing.I have been living alone for many years.And I enjoy the time when I was alone,because I can arange my own time freely.It's amazing,Is'n it.

i'm not really sure how to cure loneliness. i think that depends to the person who's lonely..i mean, i feel lonely too when i was single though i lived with room mates. what i was doing then was go out. Go to the mall, watch movies that i really like or just buy something that might cheer me up and eat in a restaurant. I always go back to my mom's house and that makes me feel really happy and complete. everything changed when i got married and lived with my husband. before i was thinking of the future and i always end up thinking, "am i going to be alone forever?." but ofcourse i didn't. I would like to suggests doing some things that can make her busy and get the thought of being lonely out of her mind. But i think it actually depends to her what will make her happy. first of all she should realize the things that makes her happy. You can try asking her to go out and eat some icecream while talking over with something really interesting. Or try to know her interests (hiking, going out to the beach, do some charity works, reading a good book, watching movies etc.). Or maybe she just needs to get married. I'm not really sure and no one knows how to cure that loneliness she feels but if you would like to really help her, i suggests start talking to her and find out why she's lonely and tell her she's the only one who will know what will make her happy and needs to figure that out. You might find something that you can do to make her realize she's not alone.

I think at some point of time, people feel alone like this. it is also no exception.so she is feeling alone. but I think by repenting this more, she is making herself more so. she need to take part in activities that make her happy and occupied.

Maybe she is depressed or just love to hang out with friends. I agree with someone here, she needs to have a roommate so she has someone to interact with every now and then, Personally, there are moments in mylife that I want to be alone so I can relax most, concentrate and accomplish something, she is not thinking about it Im sure, she is the person who can't stand to be alone and maybe will start to self pity if she will not go out and hang out with friends!
