Do you get lonely?

As a single Mum when the children were younger. I would get terribly lonely, and more so when they stayed with their father (which was not too often) and when they went to bed at night.

I do and I'm married! Hubby usually stays up later than me and I hate going to bed alone.

i used to be in your shoes, sometimes it gets lonely indeed. now i'm married and happy. however, loneliness still strikes when i miss my family back home, oh well... i guess we just have to continue on keeping ourselves busy and productive :)

I do feel lonely sometimes, but I tend to be a loner so I think I do it to myself. I spend a lot of time here in mylot now and it helps keep me occupied.

I find I do get really lonely at night once the kids are asleep. I tend to spend a lot of the time on the net either here in my lot or on pogo playing games and chatting to friends. During the day I have toddler who keeps me busy. I miss having someone to talk to....share the day with, say what the kids have been doing etc.

i think chat rooms and mylot stop a lot of the lonlyness

I think that from time to time everyone gets lonely but the difference is that in your case you actually have nobody to talk to, except the children, but sometimes a different conversation style is needed. Actually do agree that chat rooms can have some problems, as there are some slimeballs out there and they seem to haunt those types of places. At least here in a forum we can continue on the discussion, or ignore it, as we choose for that time. It is interesting because a lot of widows that we know have said that the nights are actually the worst for them too. During the day, they can find plenty to keep them occupied plus talk to friends, but once the night comes they realise that they are all alone. I am not sure that can be done to combat it, but basically think it has to come from within. Loneliness is not something that others can "cure" for you, but of course they can help you to cope with it just by keeping you company.

Yes, a lot. I am not a single mum but I feel like I am at times. I'm often on my own after the kids are in bed because my partner often works very late and when he doesn't he's either in the puib or on the computer. Sometimes, I wish I had a few friends who could just pop round to keep me company in the evenings.

simple! login to mylot and you have friends fromn all over the world to accompany you! :0)

Hi, Everybody feels lonely at one point of time or other. I have also felt lonely many, many times. Even when there are people around me I feel lonely. Is that strange? Sometimes I want to feel lonely. I want to be alone, away from all people and sound.

no not allways

I know what you feel I use to be in your spot. it will get easier in time but if you go looking for someone to take the lonelyness away on the net just please be very careful who you deal with.

Ya i often get lonely. this might be an attitude problem or whatever it might be. I even get lonely when i m standing alone in the crowd thinking of a single person which is not there.

its okay to be lonely at times but the good thing is you can do something about it..if you feel lonely & alone then have fun w/ the computer, read mags & novels, watch movies or dvds or sing your heart out at videokes..who cares??? hahahhaa..

I have not seen my parents or my siblings in 12 years and there are days i get so lonely that i hate life itself. I have two neices and a nephew that i have not seen at all. So i do get very lonely and it bothers me. The only time people miss me or see me is when they need something from me. The things that keeps me going are my books and the hope to see my family again.

Yea, I get lonely, that's why I play video games or get on mylot. At least you can earn money while being lonely.

i sometimes i do feel alone............

I dont cuz I got my best friend, my cat buddy

I must admit I was, I was alone for quite a few years and I hadn't discovered forums. I'll keep you company ausnikki *hug*.
