Being completely alone and useless

Yes I have felt empty inside and I sort of still do once in a while.  It's kinda weird because you keep asking yourself why do I feel this way?  I was valedictorian of my class and I always had a lot of friends around, but I still felt empty inside.  I would see all the couples around hugging and kissing and looking all happy and I would wonder why can't that happen to me?  It seemed like an acceptable guy would never like me. I concentrated on studying harder because I felt that was all I had.  I really wanted a boyfriend then I stopped thinking about it so much and I finally got one.  Hope you find who/what you are looking for! Good Luck!

i completely understand. i have the same problem. i think you have to be happy. just because there are people around doesn't mean you can't be lonely. like something is missing and you're not quite sure what sometimes. doctors sometimes help but i think it's all something that can be worked on by ourselves it just may take awhile. i'm sure this isn't really an answer but at least you know you're not alone in this aspect :)

I think everyone is a little afraid of being alone at night.  I always sleep on the couch when I'm alone.  Then, I leave extra lights on and the TV on.  That helps me feel less alone.  Could you not go stay with someone else?

It is possible to be alone, without being lonely. I am alone, but far from lonely! I don't fear either one, because I have lots of interests, and friends......don't be afraid to be by yourself....YOU'RE A GREAT PERSON! Learn to love yourself! Good LUck!!

You are not alone! Try to not let your self esteem be your worst enemy. You remind me of me. I have to force myself to not isolate. Have you considered you may be depressed? I started taking medication in '01 and life has become better. I'm not so "scared" of people. It's hard to change but it can be done. I found a wonderful man who accepts me for who I am and he loves me so much. You are a unique individual and believe it or not, no matter what people say or how they treat you, you have something unique to share with this world. Hope this helps. :-)

It depends on the day of the week, the time of month or if your close to valentines or christmas etc.\nBeing single is ok, I am completely independant, am not answerable to anyone and very rarely disappointed.\nBut that doesn't stop me feeling lonely when I'm sat in on my own, sadly answering question after question on here... \nI think it would be nice to find companionship, but then I meet someone and before it develops into a relationship it gets all heavy or complicated and think I can do without the hassle.. \nI have plenty of friends and will keep it that way until someone totally special comes my way.\nNot getting into something on the premise I am lonely, if I did that, I could let any kind of scumbag into my life, and they would probably leave it just as quickly having stripped me of my confidence. I am not prepared to let that happen.

Chances are though that a lot of it is just in your head. I bet they're are boys out there that find you cute, if not maybe you haven't me the right people yet. sounds like maybe your suffering from depression. We all get that sometimes. \n\nIts common to sometimes feel left out of the world and alone. If you feel these feelings to often maybe you should talk to someone.

Hey, people are not destined to be alone. There is someone out there in this world who is destined for you. Sometimes, they are just right infront of you but you didn't see them! \n\nWe have to meet the wrong persons before meeting the right one. Apperance doesn't count. Its better to read a book than to judge it.\n\nI feel empty, too, at times, but come to think of it again, I have my family and friends who loves me as much. A few of them are also people I could confide it.\n\nSo feel blessed, and don't feel empty.

yes i do very often. i'm a single child and i'm 18. i feel lonely even when there are people around. i think it's a psychological problem. but i always get over it. i try to find something to do to keep me busy like reading, renting a movie, painting or chatting with people on the net. with time i got used to loneliness and now when i'm surrounded by a lot of people for a long time i feel ill at ease coz i ended up liking loneliness actually.. loneliness can be good or bad. it depends how peopl react to it...

yeah that happens to me all the time \ni talk to my "friends" but they dont seem to be a "friend"\nor even family\ni feel like i cant trust my friends or family\nwith your friends or family you feel like your not connected to them even though your talking and they are right there\nthey dont treat or look at you as a family\nthey look at you like an outsider and that sometimes makes you feel not wanted so you end up getting used to it that you really dont care. you become very numb to it. \nppl like that wont care about you or care about your issues.\ni have dealt with that personally almost all the time\n\nhey wanna be my friend ?

I felt the same way for a long long time, and I still feel that way sometimes. People really are there for you though, you just don't see it. If you were to need them they would be there, they just don't know that you need them now. Talk to someone about it. Anyone you trust. Just ask them if you can talk to them alone and explain that you feel like no one cares. It can be a sign of something serious like depression so be careful and know when it's gone too far. People do care, and they're all over. You just don't realize it when they're not right there beside you.

It feels very uncomfortable to even think about for me , I think that is a very personal act . If I were at work or any other public place and had no choice I would have to . I usually stay home if I think I may have a problem though .

I think everybody who is lonely feels that way.  Get out and meet people instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself.
