Are You Lonely Throughout The Holidays?

Hi gtargirl, it seems that there are two effective ways to get rid of loneliness during holidays according to my opinions. Before I get married, I was always alone during holidays, so I addicted computer games. Sometimes I played computer game all day and all night, that would keep me from real society, there were fictional game role and me to fight against or together. It's time consuming and a good way to overcome loneliness. When I got annoy with computer games, I tried to find friends from internet who had same situation with me. A lot of single person assembled together to have holidays would make you have a good time in holidays, and furthermore there were a plant of opportunities to meet lonely single persons and had chances to be together.

Sure this is a sad time for alot of us and yup I was sad as hubby has been gone now for 5 years! asdn he uis dearly missed. REally dont know how to over come it but to dig in and be happy with the rest of the family!

Yeah, I was very lonely for the holiday. It's not because I am single though (although I am). I am nursing my son back to health and miss him terribly. Since it has been a long time since his wreck it seemed like we were forgotten for the holidays. That made for a very lonely day!

i feel lonely throughout the holidays,although i visit my husband's family and pass this holidays with his family,but i still feel lonely,his family still finish their work,i only see them at dinner,so i only do is watching TV and walking around with my husband,but i could not be happy,i feel lonely

I've had lonely holidays for the past couples years. :/ I grew up in SoCal, and I had a lot of family there. We used to go to my god-grandmother's house every Thanksgiving and Christmas to have a big dinner with a bunch of extended family. In 2004, my immediate family and I moved out of state, and all the holidays since then have been really quiet and modest. It just doesn;t really feel like the Holidays anymore. w

I would not say I was lonely over the holidays I was more sad for some reason. My boyfriend is locked up and stressed out. So that added to my sadness as well. I had to get over that bad feeling some how. I just started thinking of ways to get it gone. so I started to think of my New year changes. it helped for the most part. I am still doing fine for the most part.

I am very sorry to hear that. I have been in your shoes before and know what that feels like. It is very sad for people to have to go through that when everyone else seems to be so happy. It was hard to get through and the only way I ever overcame it, was to find someone else to spend my life and holidays with.

Actually I'm not really lonely at the holidays...Hubby and I spend it together and most times I talk to my Mom and Dad on the phone and my niece and nephew stop by. It's really rather nice. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I was with my family, the one I spend all my time with. Sorry that you are alone but its okay to be alone, it doesn't make you any less deserving of people around you at all. You should focus on the people who make you happy and enjoy that time with them. I have other family but I would rather be with the ones who love me.

Hello my friend gtargirl Ji, So long I am wit my hubby, I never felt such a agony. After marrying more than 40 yrs back,we have been together at all occasions, except whenmy hubby went for his professional duty. I am not able to simulate that condition, when he would not be with me, that only be lonliness. But as the time passes and hairs turn grey, we get matured not to show agoy and live like others. On such occasions, I will fully devote myself to seve poor people inmy locality. May God bless You and have a great time.

I do get lonely when others get stressed and put it onto me.

I wan't really lonely this year. I didn't have a boyfriend, but I did have my family. My family is all I want on the holidays. I would rather not have a boyfriend because I don't have the money to spend on him.

Not really, I had revision, my books, Xbox and PC to keep me company!

In fact I was not alon at Christmas but it doesn't mean I am not alone now.As the summer starts and everyone around me go out in couples I stay alone at home and desire to do anything.

I was lonely last Christmas but I am still thankful that Christmas passed and I still have my family with me. When I was a child there is a spirit of christmas with me because of toys and moneys I received and I have the chance to play with my cousins, but now that I am old, there is no spirit of Christmas in me. I am little excited but when the christmas already happening, I am sad inside. I no longer feel the Spirit of Christmas. I know that Christmas is for Jesus, we are just celebrating his birth, but after all the hardship I have been through I am thankful but not totally happy. And also I am just at home, after christmas I don't have much things to do, my life is boring.

Hi gtar...as we grow further into our adult years, I think the lonliness for people who've passed on, or lonliness for other reasons is a bit unavoidable. I do think most of us, like you, make the effort to keep it under control, though, by focusing on the present activities and loved ones still in our life. So for me, the holidays are always bitter-sweet. Karen
