35+ Where is everybody?
35 & Over sub-community
Is there anybody out there? Hello hello hello *echo* Where is everybody? I'm bored and lonely 😔
Hi I'm out here. Also bored and lonely
I'm actually bored and lonely every night lol. I prefer talking on the forums than in chat and you would think the forums would be more active with the amount of members in these communities.
So what part of the world are you in? I'm in the US. It's almost 8:30pm.
@SweetPea321 im also in the us and right now it is 2am
Hello how are you doing
@SweetPea321 Ay same, I think forums are less active tan chats due to the style, of posts rather than chats(if I'm making any sense). I use *** a lot when Im bored, you could try hopping into a server of people with the same hobbies, and chatting burns time really fast lol.
@SweetPea321 Hi! How are you tonight? I know EXACTLY how you feel! I'm always lonely and never have anyone to really talk too.
@SweetPea32
I'm also looking for someone to talk to
Hi, I saw your post. I am in the same boat as you are. Looking for a friend. I'm in US. Im a femal in my 50s. I'm here if you need a friend.
Hello, in US too. Welcome the chat
Hello
I'm from India.
@adventurousBeing5199 hey how are you?
@adventurousBeing5199 hello am here to keep you busy
@SweetPea321 Hello! I'm here :D
Ok, let me check guest list...yep, irlDazaiKinnie is on it 😄 Welcome to the party. It's kind of boring. I have generic doritos and Hawaiian punch for all. There may be a lame clown who makes balloon animals. He only does snakes, but what do you expect at a boring party 🤷♀️
Hello.
I’m new here. I just saw this thread in my feed when signing up
Welcome to 7 cups, Asr6 🤝 This is a great place to get support. From the one on one listeners to the chat rooms and forums and more...I hope you enjoy 🙂
@SweetPea321 Thank you. I need it for sure. I’m glad to be here and hope it helps.
I find it helpful in between therapy sessions and well...sometimes friends and family don't wanna hear my woe is me stuff. Coming here helps to not feel so lonely.
@SweetPea321everybody's out there having fun
What is this "fun" you speak of 🤔 Sounds dangerous.
I'm just a simple caveman who happens to be a lawyer
@unassumingPerson4520 I know you don't know me, but If I ever get in trouble, will you lend your services free of charge? I like a sense of security in my life.
Hey I’m new….
@placidStrawberries3790 me too. Welcome
Welcome to 7cups and ok...you'll have to pass the initiation since you're new. Go to the Depression: Journal Support Check-In board and take their mascot (the crying emoji) and bring it back and then you'll be one of us 😎✌
hey im new too!! I dont know how to create a thread on 7 cups 😅. welcome 👍
@SweetPea321
Somebody is out here, but, it's Shia Labeouf. For whatever reason I'm obsessed with that damn song, can't get "Killing for sport, Shia Labeouf. Eating all the bodies, actual cannibal Shia Labeouf" out of my head, and that goes for every lyric from that song.
Anyways, yes, hello, I tend to get very off track.
That's ok 😄 My train derailed years ago and now I'm on the Crazy Train 🤪 All aboooaarrrrrd...ha ha ha 🎵
https://youtu.be/Djrl6fu8myo
That's the song currently running through my head.
Well, it's the weekend again. Yoohoo...Everybody? Where are you? Are you out living your lives? I don't know what to do with myself. I want to do something, but at the same time I don't feel like doing anything. Does anybody relate to that?
How are you all?
Hey SweetPea. I enjoyed reading your tread. 😃. You seem like someone fun to chat with. I always want to do something but don’t feel like doing anything.
Hi @insertnamehere82 Guess what I'm doing right now. That's right...nothing! Because I don't feel like doing anything. Some day I'll start that Procrastinator's Club and then you can join too if you feel like it.
Hahahah. I will definitely be the first member of that club @sweetpea321 😃. That’s saying something considering the whole premise of the club is that we procrastinate so proficiently yet I’ll join a club for procrastination without hesitation! Go figure. 😂
So far I haven't felt like organizing the Procrastinators club, but maybe we'll git r done some day lol.
@SweetPea321 yes i can relate to these feelings too
@SweetPea321 i am bored and lonely too
I'm currently bored, and enjoying my alone time as my kid a.k.a. The Terror of Tiny Town is in school. I feel lonely when problems arise because I don't have much family and friends to vent to, but I talk to my therapist and I come here for support.
Well you are lovely to chat with so I’m glad we connected and happy to be a positive supportive person to chat with, and obviously get the same vibes from you. I find it helpful talking with people who have similar problems and therefore understand them better than people in your life who are just not able to grasp what you are experiencing. That can make you feel so alone, sometimes I feel the most alone when around people which I find extremely unsettling and that’s when I reach out here now. 😊. Definitely helps but haven’t found a good listener yet that aspect of this website seems broken and needs work but much prefer these chats with other people experiencing problems so far. Together we can do this 💪
I feel the same way, people in real life don't understand so it's better to talk here with my peeps about feeling sad and lonely.
I've tried the listener thing 5 times so far and it was alright, but I think I prefer feedback, not just someone listening. I like to hear thoughts and suggestions.
Today is a cool, rainy day, or at least it rained earlier. I wanna curl up in my bed and snooze, but my daughter is home sick from school and she just woke up again.
And thank you
No need to thank me, but if we are doing this I guess I need to thank you too. 😂 it’s nice to have met you and gives me someone “reliable” to check in with when I come on here. Obviously no pressure or obligations but it’s nice to build some anonymous familiarity to help aid a little more meaningful supportive connections on here.
Yes...nice to meet you to, Sir 🧐 It is "Sir" right? I thought I read somewhere that you said you were a man.
I'm used to posting on the Depression:Journal Support Check-In board, but I'm starting to come here to since this thread is picking up. Gotta be amongst my 35+ Grown & Sexy crowd 😁
too* not to
Yeah I’m male. Don’t hold it against me. Lol. I’m 40yo live in Australia in a city called Brisbane.
I'm female, level 43 in the game of life and I live in Small-town, USA. I don't hold being male against you 😄 I happen to be a big fan of males. Men in particular. I mean, you guys built this world that we live in. Buildings, houses, cars, rockets, ect... Amazing!
From now on I'll be reading your messages in an aussie accent in my head.
Hahahah. Thanks, yeah men are definitely not all bad…. Just sometimes I’m embarrassed by my fellow males and their behaviour, but I’m sure women feel the same way too about other women at times too. .
Well Crikey mate! I’m imagining you think I sound like the late Steve Irwin or Crocodile Dundee and keep a pet kangaroo, koala and a couple of wallabies!
I’ll imagine you with a strong southern drawl and plucking your banjo on your porch. 😜
Lmao! Well I'm a Yankee so no southern drawl, and I don't have a banjo, but I have a guitar so...close!
I was thinking you sound like this YouTuber I watch Isaac Butterfield and your favorite song is Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport lol.
Hahahaha. Classic old Australian song from my childhood. Unfortunately the guy who sung it ended up being a creeper and was exposed as a p e d o and I believe actually jailed back in 2014. His name was Rolf Harris. So sad how many abusive sickos are out there. Especially when they used their fame to just groom kids. 😞
Whoa! I didn't know the guy who sang that song was a creep! I remember hearing that song on the oldies station when I was a kid and thought it was cute.
I’m also getting awesome free financial advice from William here now too. 😜. I’m about to give him power of attorney and transfer all my funds into his investments. Hahahahah. Obviously joking and it’s clearly a scam. Sadly people fall for that stuff.
Lmao! 😄 I know William from back in the day. That is...one day ago I read his spiel and instantly the Public Enemy song Can't Trust It popped into my head. Remember that song, William?
@SweetPea321
I'm normally around via message. I get tired of logging in and never finding anything new...but then again, I don't find this site very user friendly in the first place, so I'm HOPING I'm doing something wrong rather than it actually not having anything new.
And that goes for the rest of you....feel free to drop me a message. I'll respond when I can.
Every day is a new day. What are you going to do with your life today? I'm gonna do what I always do...try and take over the world from my armchair.
"I've tried the listener thing 5 times so far and it was alright, but I think I prefer feedback, not just someone listening. I like to hear thoughts and suggestions."
Ask the LIstener to do a Support Plan with you. Maybe that will help. You could also join one of the Academy programs. You'll get lots of support and feedback if you do, which might help you feel better in general. https://www.7cups.com/academy/
The chatrooms here are another great way to meet people.
I love your pfp, by the way!
Thank you and I might have to try your suggestions. I like posting on the forums.
@SweetPea321
I just thought of another thing that might help - join one of the small group huddles. https://www.7cups.com/forum/GroupSupport_168/7CupsHuddles_2394/HuddlesSeason2SignUptoParticipateinaClosedGroup_286178/
The huddles are closed groups of ten or fewer people each week. You'll meet with the same folks, too, so it's easy to build camaraderie. It's very similar to a support group. There's a huddle for loneliness, one for social anxiety, one for mindfulness, one for student support and more. You'd be meeting with the same people, at the same time each week, so it could be something you could count on for some friendly interaction. No more lonely nights - you've got plans.
I'm glad that you enjoy posting on the forums! You're doing a fab job of keeping folks company right in this thread.
@GoldenNest2727
I didn't see this message until now 😱 Hi, how are you? Are you into bird watching? Your name makes me think you like birds 🙂
Thanks for the suggestions.
