Lonely and Just want to talk with virtual friends here

@ellamster Hi, my name is Dusti. Would you like to be my friend? What would be a good way to correspond? I am about to be a single mom (again) and do not have many friends of my own. 😊

Dusti, I think you are great for reaching out.

Awe, ty! I just know how horrible loneliness feels and I know how bad it feels to pour your heart out and feel like people hear you but they aren’t REALLY listening.

Me too! Yesterday I had an appointment with my neurologist, he told me that my Mild Cognitive Impairment is now Mild Dementia. He had an assistant give me a cognitive test and told me that I did much better than expected, gave me a six month appointment and that was it! I did not say why had I progressed and what is Mild Dementia. I felt left out. I am learning from the Internet and think that I need more than pills and tests. I am telling you because you are a skilled listener. I feel honored to know you,

I've been remiss with communicating. I'm sick with an infection caused when I had my port removed at the site of the incision. I'm awfully fuzzy.

I am so unbelievably and incredibly sorry for your loss. Please know that we are able to chat anytime.
Best,
Patricia

Loneliness is a terrible thing. It’s not, for some of us humans, a matter of not being around people; it’s quite possible to be lonely in a crowd.
I was also in a military family, always on the move, so I learned early how to make friends quickly in a new place. Keeping those friends was a different matter.
Like countless people before me, I write, paint, read. Sometimes I share my products and sometimes I don’t. But the simple act of getting my yayas out on paper or canvas or board helps. As Picasso is supposed to have said, everyone’s an artist until someone says they aren’t and they believe it. I attach a sample.
As Ram Dass always preached, Be Here Now.
Face to face conversation is sometimes overrated; there’s a lot to be said for contact electronically. Drop us a line.

Hey there y’all it was so nice and calming to see all such strong and brave people here... i go through the same , the same loneliness and a feeling of having no friends .. its not like i never had friends i still do now ... have some great friends but it always feels like there friends with me because i listen to them , take interest in what they are saying no matter what ever i am going through i would always be there for them to listen them pouring there hearts out , asking me stuff fo i look beautiful today , has my skin gone dull , look i made this nd all .... nd I’d be the happiest or the most worried for them ...
Now most people would say why then i feel lonely ... well its because its alot one sided in every good friendship , i feel like the moment i discuss something about myself , i made that or im happy or sad theres usually a very dull reply or even the topic shifts to them ... its not that i complain about this but its just that then i feel im so lonely in a group of friends .. or may be im not interesting ,or maybe i said something wrong , maybe my jokes aren’t good maybe I shouldn’t discuss anything with anyone and only listen to them ... thats why most people say me i am a less talkative person but i dont talk due to my fears ... i just wish if there could be a group of friends where i can talk freely , joke around discuss what is in my heart and they listen to me wholeheartedly ...
i even dont mind someone telling me where am i wrong .. maybe i am wrong but i just need somrone , a sincere friend maybe ..

Find one friend,get to know him or her, and stick with them for a month. Talk openly about what it is you need or want from each other, re evaluate once a week. Is it working for both of you? Why or why not? I'm other words, talk openly and honestly with each other and see what happens.

Do everything you can to promote physical well-being and I believe the mind and emotions will follow.
