girlygirl 0 #1 April 7, 2005 I am in such a HUGE city. How can I feel sometimes like I am the only one on earth and that I am completely alone? Everybody seems to be sharing something and I am just left looking in without a clue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith 0 #6 April 7, 2005 I moved to Sacramento by my self when I was in my early 20's. I always felt lonely and isolated when by my self - I always had to have someone familiar around. While spending time alone I realized I'm a fun guy to hang around with. I started going to movies alone, dinner alone, taking drives alone. By the time I moved back to San Diego I realized I Really like speding time with Me. Take this time to get to know you. Spend some quality time with you. You'll be glad you did. I'm glad I did.

MC208B 0 #7 April 7, 2005 I know how you feel sometimes. I'm about 2,800 miles from my kids and grandchildren and that bothers me from time to time. Lots of tourists and about 180,000 kamaiana here on Maui too Don't worry, you will get better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #8 April 7, 2005 QuoteI realized I Really like speding time with Me. No doubt.........If I don't get my alone time I get whacked out! Of course.........like 2 or 3 weeks Elk hunting in Montana without running across another human can be a bit excessive but I still liked it. It's weird how much you start talking to yourself and how STRANGE the sound of your own voice gets to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #12 April 7, 2005 Sometimes when I feel like that just being around other people helps, so even if I just go to the coffee shop and read, seeing other people and at least interacting with the staff in a limited way makes a difference."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiaKrembs 0 #13 April 7, 2005 I'm there with ya girl!!! Living in LA amongst the concrete, steel, materialism, and fakeness it becomes very taxing on the soul. Especially when you don't have any family nearby to feel safe and loved. I'm very lucky though to have met some beautiful people whom I know I can trust and love.

GeordieSkydiver 0 #16 April 7, 2005 I'm surrounded by people, and still I feel alone sometimes. I think it's something all people can relate to, and not unusual. I dare say you have enough friends online and on the phone, call them, PM them, whatever it takes.Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swedishcelt 0 #18 April 7, 2005 I agree with you sweety, I go home to the farm. I ride horseback and play with babies or if I am here I head to the DZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today............I signed and had notorized a contract on a house in Montana. It's a great refuge. No one to bother you except the bears, deer, elk, moose, and occasional mountain lions. Plus I can catch a fresh trout dinner just 30 feet off the porch. It's a nice place to "recharge" the batteries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #23 April 7, 2005 Here comes a deep thought from me. It doesn't come around often, so listen up. When you are walking around in a city, there are literally thousands of people around you, who don't know you and quite honestly do not care about you. Since this is your scenery, you become quite concsious of this fact. Now, if you take a walk down a country road where there is nothing but beautiful nature around you, you see the beauty of the nature and you don't dwell on your perceived loneliness. The key word is 'perceived'. What others said about learning to appreciate things by yourself is 100% correct. Plus, you know you have friends and family that love you...they just happen to be in a different locale.
