I've been feeling lonely this past days. I don't know why. I just suddenly felt this usual feelings I've been trying to overcome since childhood. I thought at first that I totally get over it but I guess I was wrong. This feeling of loneliness is there again. Feeling insecure, I felt i've been left behind when there's really no reason to feel so. How can I pass this ordeal again. Have you been in this situation before? What did you do to surpass it?

hello sheenmadness, I am here again. I do feel what you felt sheen. I felt all alone last week during my birthday. I felt all alone and think that no one really loves me including my husband. What I did is try to look at the bright side. I still think I'm very lucky because God has given me many blessings.

Hi ais, in moments like this the least we could do is do divert our attention and look more on the brighter side. Sometime the loneliness we felt are also triggered by someone close to our hearts and it's inevitable to just let is pass by. It's a good thing that you've already possesses a positive attitude. Keep it up girl! ^_^

Hello sheenmadness. Long time no see. I am so sorry that you have had such a feeling of being left alone that you feel insecure. I think that you may try to take more activities either in sports or in recreational activities. This way you are sure to feel much better as you will make some new friends and the feeling of being left alone will be gradually gone. Good luck to you and take care, my dear friend.

Sometimes i felt like that especially when i am with my friends, my friends are all married and they have their own family and i am the only one left being single and available.I feel like their is something wrong with me, i dont know what it is honestly. what i do is not to hang out with my friends often for i just feel jealous. I like to be with my cyber friend sand do chatting or mylotting to ease to loneliness i felt.

reason why i overcome my loneliness - isn't it great. She really brings joy to my life.
Hello Margarit,Yes that's the exact word I had in my mind when I'm feeling alone and lonely. Is there something wrong with me? Am I not enough for them? What's wrong with me words like that, question like that. And it's really a good thing to have an outlet to the loneliness we felt. I'm glad you handled it very well. I can see you're doing good and it works for you. Im doing the same thing. Good luck to both of us girl!^_^ Let's cheer up!

Hey girl, how were you able to overcome it the first time? Doesn't it work now? Anyway, if you're a spiritual person, prayers do help. I do this all the time esp when I feel like all my friends are busy with their lives and i've no one to talk to. Personally, this is more effective than "dial-a-friend" ;-) 'coz God is sure available 24/7. :D However, if you're not that type of person... just try to think of the good times, try to recall something that you find funny or engage in something (a new book, watching TV /DVDs..comedy movies ) that can bring that smile back on your face. I know, easier said done. I've had those moments too. I guess no one will be more than able to help you than yourself. You just have to fight whatever negative feelings you have right now. Regarding your insecurities... I believe that we are all born with flaws. Nobody's perfect, right? Try not to dwell on your negative traits but give emphasis on the positive. Wish you well, friend.
