hi im single and lonely

It is very hard to like someone but they are not attracted to you. In this case though since that person you are talking of might not know how you feel we cannot fully know if they like you or not. In the worst case though if the person is not attracted then is when the pain starts. You see them hanging out or dating someone else and you feel excruciating pains, or you ache whenever you see someone else getting the love and affection you wish you had from that person. It makes you feel you are not good enough and start wondering what is wrong with you. It can be very tough. One of the toughess times I noticed when being single is the valentines day. People wish you happy valentine, you see the news talking about it, you see couples excited or at least then you constantly notice couples, but down deep know there is no valentine. That can be an extremely lonely time.

All these are super rough to deal with. Not getting the love, affection and care we deserve especially when we give away so much can be painful.

Mourning an unrequited love makes it hard to face the next day thinking of how you'd need to suffer through it, thinking of the person you have feelings for being with someone else. Such emotional pain can also affect us physically in some ways. Even though it pains deeply as days go by it starts hurting a bit less, and someday you might realize that you are free from it and it doesn't pain as much as it did anymore.

Unfortunately I cannot change your situation, and hope you one day end up with someone who loves you the same way you love them. Know though that you have listeners here 24/7 that are here to support you and be there for you through this hard time. They might not be able to be there for you physically, but you'd sure have someone to chat with if you need to.

If you are a loving and caring person, know you deserve to be loved. Sometimes it is hard to feel we deserve to be loved when our feelings are not reciprocated, but if we give out love and care, we also deserve to have that return back to us someday.

I am not in a relationship. I can understand why you think someone in a relationship wouldn't be able to understand but the thing with loneliness as I am sure you know you can be in a room filled with hundreds of people and you would still feel lonely. To belittle anyone's experience with loneliness is not right and not great. I am sorry that you suffer with it a lot because it is honestly sad to have to feel so lonely...

What have you attempted to do to try to combat the feelings of being lonely?

Also sorry to hear that you feel like ending your life over someone not liking you back! Maybe theres a deeper issue there. How do you feel about therapy?

Get you not be so rude to people on here please they are just trying to help you wow big whoop people are in relationships and they comment on here dose it really matter of they are with someone or not cause you can still get LONELY in a relationship as well done be so mean and rude to other's they are only helping

As a 23 year old male who is deathly scared to say talk to women and haven't even got my first kiss yet I know how you feel. I'm getting to the point of just quit trying because I don't see any reason why women would find me attractive. You get the same advice every time be confident and you will find the right girl. So here is the broken record player advice be confident and leave the bait out and a fish/women will bite.
