    I am 22 years old and I have not got many friends this is not because of any other reason than I distant myself from almost everyone. I have lost so many friends over the years due to my constant inability to follow through with plans and make that little bit of effort to keep friendships alive.

    I find myself now distancing myself from my family, my mother always asks why I never go home to visit and she seems to be taking it very personally. I do not know why I prefer to drown in my loneliness, I know that this is not normal to always want to be alone. I know they say that everyone should enjoy their own company but maybe I am getting lost with myself and it could potentially be an issue?

    Can anyone relate to this?

    Dear bevan:

    I just left you a message on your other thread, suggesting To Love and be Loved in Return as maybe.. your life passion. And here you describe that you are drowning in loneliness… will look for your answer to the question I asked you on the other thread.

    Oh my gosh,I could have written this post…this describes me so well. I have a very small group of friends,that only works because they don’t put pressure on me to meet up etc,we are more casual. I have my 2 daughters and being honest,that is all I need.Although now they spend less and less time at home I have been feeling really lonely. When I actually make the effort to do things with friends I clock watch and just can’t wait to get back home!
    I feel quite miserable.lol. I’m hoping to meet someone that understands and accepts the way I am..

    Hi everyone. Loneliness is a feeling, it comes from within. You can feel lonely even though you are surrounded by friends and family. Try to develop a stable and self-sufficient mind, body and environment. This can be done through meditation, exercise, cleaning and organizing your environment, work (financial independence), healthy diet and spending time alone in nature. By having a stable self you will become more confident and less egocentric which will lead to healthier and more balanced relationships and social interactions.

    The number of friends isn’t important, the quality of your social relations is. It’s the personal development, support and sharing of happiness that matters. Also remember that social relations is a two-way street.

    However, never be afraid or ashamed to ask for help and support. Talk about your feelings of loneliness with your family, maybe you need a little extra love and kindness in your life right now.

    I wish all of you the best.

    * Dear Misha:

    Can you start a thread on loneliness in your life, the quest for self love that you have? I would like to reply to it there and maybe others will too. This is a very good topic!
