lonely

For me, Communication through technology is one way to make me feel not alone. You see I don't have a lot of friends in our neighborhood, but the internet makes me feel that I am close to my friends. It is also a way to create friends. Most of the friends I value now I first met "virtually", and right now I stilll am thankful that I have met them. And when I am lonely, just like now, my only solution is communication. And since my friends live far away I cannot get there to tell them personally my problems, but the internet is here to let it easy for them to lend me an ear.

I was always a loner in real life, and even online I'm not much of a social butterfly. I may have better communication skills online, but still, I do love the time alone. I'm disabled. I have hearing and vision impairments, and I have depression and anxiety disorder. Even though I have glasses an hearing aids, I still don't catch everything in a real conversation, so I tend to be a quiet little mouse in the corner. Sometimes too much real-life social activity will send me into an anxiety attack, so I mainly stay home. Do I feel lonely at times? Sometimes. I know lately I been spilling my guts out to G-d in prayers, but that's just about it. I'm trying to be open and friendly to Hubby's friends, and I am part of a Bible Study - a sweet lady who David and I know that lives down the street from us is the leader of it, and she accepts anyone, disabled or not. I really do appreciate her. All in all, I guess I do feel more comfortable online because I can read the text and catch everything, and people judge you by your WORDS and not your APPEANCES so that gives me a fighting chance to socialise as a disabled person. Not many people online know that I'm disabled, either.

Well,yes,although the internet and communication technologies make it easy for us to keep contact with each other. But sometimes when offline,there rises a feeling of loneliness.And the more friends we make online,and the more we active online,the more loneliness we will feel when we offline. So i think we need both connections online and offline.We need online friends,we also need reality friends. And to avoid to be too lonely,i think we'd better keep away from those fake friendships and fake loves online.Because even you feel very well when you not know the truth. After you got it,you will feel extremly lonely and sometimes the loneliness can make you very very upset and hurt your heart.

sense of loneliness sometimes comes to everybody...even they never connected with internet may be this is kind of behavior of human itself, how they able to communicate with others..and its not fair if technology should be blame for human interaction...

maybe that's because thanks to people who feel lonely will be less attention to himself and tends to silence without any activity will be undertaken with the crowd. could have been if he always wanted to so, then he should be brought just to a place that can cure it.

I am also one of those people that can easily get rid of the loneliness by using technology. Most of my friends live far away. Actually, I made most friends during my time on high school. Though, I attended a school that was about 30 kilometers from my home. Thanks to that, everyone lived too far away to meet them frequently outside the school. Also, I moved to new city recently. Thanks to that I do not have anyone to talk to by means other than internet or phone. So, the technology is currently only thing keeping me from feeling lonely.

I think all of us have felt this way at one time or another. I know I have my own struggles with loneliness as my husband works the over night shift, sleeps during the day, and I have no offline friends where I reside because I'm taking care of my children during the day. It is not to say I do not love my husband or my children, I do very much. It is to say that I too at times long for human interaction of an adult level of response. My husband and I have so very little time together that I give up all outside time when he is off so I can spend it with him. Hence, my time that I do have is either late at night or with children in tow, and I haven't met enough offline who are with children so children are not always appreciated. I have many virtual friends though. We all feel very similar, have very few offline friends, and spend a lot of our time focusing on our families so we bonded. We know what it is like to be the mom at a school function that doesn't really know anyone. We know what it is like to be in a grocery store with little ones and not know a soul. We know what it is like to spend our days singing nursery songs, counting numbers, learning colors, with nothing of higher level discussion than what fruit we shall have for lunch. It just seems something that some mommies go through, and I am one of them. There are times at night when I'm done working on my thesis, cleaning, and the hubby is already at work that I find myself simply awed at the silence. The silence truly does bring about too much thought if you ask me. And yet it is practical for meditation and I've been learning to do that instead of allowing myself to fall into despair. I wish you well. Namaste-Anora
