Loneliness
Loneliness I have a couple post ideas that I want to do in the next few days. Being the type that prefers that "bad news" first I'm going to start with the downer topic. The next one should be more fun and "awww shucks"-ish. Today I want to talk with you all a little about loneliness. I'm sure we can all relate to being lonely now and then. Now from my experience not only are there different degrees of lonely, but different types as well. Loneliness can be mild or it can hit like a truck. There is being lonely like Tom Hanks was when he was talking to the Volleyball on that island in castaway and there is loneliness of the heart. The former can be easy enough to do something about. It is all being around people, having company. The latter can be harder to deal with. At least in my experience the latter can hit whether you are alone or with others. At least for me it is more about the lack of having a close connection with someone and wanting that connection. I bring this up because yesterday I had a bad case of the lonelies. Something triggered it, who knows what. But when I get that way I get into a very anti-productive mood. While I want companionship I get antisocial (go figure). Usually for me the only thing I can do is wait it out. So I'm curious, what are your thoughts on loneliness and being lonely? How do you handle it when it hits you? Unless something else comes up that I feel I need to push in front of it. My next post will deal with romance and hopefully be a much happier topic. |

I am not anti-social.. I can talk to a ketchup bottle but there are times I feel lonely in my own house. I joined the face place and reconnected with many old friends. We chit chat or text.... that seems to keep me busy.

I was in a lonely place within my marriage when I reconnected with Mack. Now when I get those lonely moments they are mostly short-lived. I have a lot of people that I know I could pick up the phone & call when those times hit, but like you I usually find my first instinct is to hole up more...isolate myself more. I think part of that is that once I'm down I feel like I will bring down anyone else I talk to.

Sundays, I've decided, are the worst. Long, lazy day, made to be spent in bed with a lover. Discovered today that spending the day with family... it was great until I arrived home again, then the "Sunday blues" just up and hit me again. I'm an introvert so can quite easily (at times) go days and weeks without direct human contact and not even notice. But all I long for is to love and be loved, romantically. And days like today make the "alone-ness" stand out. I can't wait till Monday. My plan to get over it... well, I keep saying I'm going to start working out when I get down, but so far it's not happening. Other friends and family can distract me... but there's still the longing to be with somebody in the deeper sense.

I figure if I work out hard enough... maybe I'll have a new excuse to cry, at any rate And eventually a hot body. haha.
