Today has been a mentally hard day. I don't know why it feels like it, but the loneliness is hitting like a semi truck. I hate feeling so little and obsolete. I feel ashamed that I am upset for feeling lonely. I know I shouldn't be. I'm allowed to feel how I feel. But it seems as though I'm the one always reaching out. For once, I'd like someone to reach out first. I would like to be sought out.
I hope others are having a good Friday somewhere out in the world. I can appreciate that, that someone is having a good day makes me feel a little better.

Just wanted to say your not alone and your not obsolete.
hi Dot_ I’m sorry you’re having a tough day. I’m sorry you’re feeling lonely and forgotten. But you’re not alone. Please remember that. We are all here for you and wish the rest of your Friday gets a little better and less lonely. Reach out anytime
Dot, I know the feeling. Some days are just horrid. That was my yesterday. Do something that makes you happy or at least happier. Try to find some solace or calm amidst the storm, and try to get some sleep. I wish you and everyone else here the best. You are not alone.
It's very easy for people to forget about us, especially if we are rarely seen or heard. We need to keep ourselves in the public eye.
Think of actors; if we don't see them for awhile we wonder where they are, and then, we forget them. It's the same with lonely and depressed folk. if we don't show our faces regularly, we will be forgotten about. We need to put in a bit of effort.
That's true. But you can only put yourself out there so much for people who routinely don't reach back out. I gets exhausting. But I guess I can only move forward until I find the people who do see me for me
Doesn't have to be for 'friends'. Go out for yourself, a coffee shop with a book is often a good icebreaker.
Often I've been reading in a coffee shop and someone will remark about it, often that they have been thinking of reading it and what do you think of it. Hey presto! a possible new friendship. You may find other interests you share, just by a simple act like this. In the UK, before Covid, there used to be something called 'Chatty Cafes'. a cafe would set aside a table specifically for people to come and chat, and a coffee. I used to go to one, but I have since moved to another country, so maybe I'll have to start one.
