Left All Alone

"I have this constant fear that you're going to leave me any moment, and when I wake up tomorrow, I find myself all alone. This love is living by a thread, weakening by every minor wind blown by and I don't feel secure no more."
Do you ever feel this way about anyone these days (or in the past?). Have you ever been the one who was left all alone? I have been a few times in the past, by friends. It still probably effects me to this day. It's hard for me to make new friends.

I hope that you will be able to make friends. I have felt that way in the past. I have though learned to look for new and sincere friends. I'm thankful to have found many. When we search in the right places we are able to meet wonderful people.

I have the problem of not knowing where to search for them, perhaps at a church but then I would find excuses not to go to church and so forth. I wish I could be more outgoing and just forget the issues sometimes. It makes me feel so alone.

Yeah that would be a good start. You could also try volunteer centers in your area. I hope that you will start to meet new people very soon. It's a good thing for us to make friends. You can also try penpaling. That's a good way to make friends in different places.

If I drove I might consider those volunteer things. Do any of them offer free rides to their services I wonder. I am such a pain about getting back into driving again. I used to have penpals long ago and still keep in touch with them but through facebook nowadays. Postage costs are too high for snail mail anymore.

Friends come and go in life. But one has to keep moving n in life that's the real essence of life. If you find your old buddies moving on so should you, becoz that's the only way you might fine good and genuine people who may stay with you going ahead and not desert you when you need them the most.
Don't live in your past. every phase in life good or bad passes away, you just have to be open to others and be hopeful. All the best.

Aww. I'd have to say that it's a lot different here in the Philippines. Here in my country, people are warm and friendly. So most of us, even when we need to move, get to adjust easily to a new place because people here like making friends. People here are very friendly, even to foreigners. In fact, when locals know that a new foreigner is in town, they go out of their way to make the new guy feel comfortable.
That's for the most part about Filipinos.
Of course, there are a few bad eggs who take advantage of visitors, but for the most part, Filipinos love to make others feel at home.
I would wish that everyone had a culture like this, but sad to say, in the urbanized countries, this is a tough thing to wish for. :(

hi nailtech that sounds sad and yet sort of poetic. I have rarely ever had that feeling until my son lost his job. we were sharing a 2 bedroom apartment and when He just could not find another
job we used up all our savings, fell behind on the rent and were homeless. an awful feeling that and we finally had to each separate me going here to Gold crest and he found housing America an org.
that helped young men without jobs to have a home to live in so they had an address to tell interviewers while looking for a job. I felt all alone coming here, and was told nonsense there are over 90 others living here. well excuse me but I am a widow and my son was my only family. all those ninety some people were then strangers
to me and I felt all alone. then my son got a job and now comes to see me every weekend.I do not make friends easily either nailtech
but have a few here in gold c rest and a lot here on Mylot.lol

Sounds like you are depressed to me. If you've just had surgery, you are still in recovery, not just physically, but mentally. It's harder to make friends as you get older if you are not in a sociable environment. You have your friends here at Mylot, but if you want touchy-feely friends, you need to join a club or society where you can meet like-minded people. You can be alone in a room full of people, it's getting it out of your mind. Maybe you should talk to your shrink, you all have one over there, right?

Yea, the surgery is taking it's toll on me both mentally and physically still, before and after. I'm really feeling kind of negative with some things that I thought wouldn't be so bad with it but turned out to be very bad. Plus worrying about my dad and if he has cancer again, he lost so much weight again these past few months.I dunno what kinds of clubs or society things are out there. I know one of my friend's online is a member of the red hat ladies society and they are all ages and have alot of fun. No I don't have a shrink, never been to one, no insurance to cover it either. I would really keep em on their toes though if I did have one.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe it's about time that you look within yourself. Have you asked them why, because I think you have the right to know because this will help you to grow as a person. To change to become better. I truly wish that you find someone who will accept you for you. Nowadays, true friends are hard to come by.

Yes, true friends are hard to come by. I envy ppl who have had at least one good friend for many years since childhood, I wish I had that too. I will try to look more within myself to find out what is wrong with me that some people just don't see as a good friend quality. I know I'm quite shy around most people at first.
