I’m Lonely… Talk to Me?
I’m putting out a similar post to what others have made recently… Struggling a bit, requesting someone to talk to and distract me… The nights are harder than the days. My texts are silent, 7Cups is silent, I’m bored and lonely, and on the less-good days, my mind wanders into a deep depression. Today, I’m ok, just feeling a bit lonely, no one to talk to… None of my friends are texting me back and the forums are too quiet for me… Talk to me about anything? Random topics, stories, games, news, things going on in your life, tell me about that pretty bug you saw outside today, I don’t care what it is, just keep me company. Not just tonight, but in general. Life gets lonely over here…
No creepy or weird conversations, please. Just good conversation, make me think, let me find new friends, etc. Recommend good kids’ and YA books, tell me about good shows and movies on Netflix, come up with random ideas for icebreakers I can make, tell me about fun things you learned at school, suggest a new hobby, ask me questions, get to know me <3 Anything goes. Random is fun! <3
I will add a taglist to start, but this is open to everyone, new and old! <3
If you were a doctor, what kind of doctor would you want to be?
Hum, a occupational therapist. Not quite a doctor, but close!
I would definitely not be a doctor lol, but maybe a physical or occupational therapist?
Redeemed, after l broke my back, l went to school to be an occupation therapist. I also had a lawsuit at the massive company l worked for. I won a nice chunk of change in the suit! Well, l am going to class in my wheelchair the next week, has to park 3 blocks away, it was POURING rain, you can't hold an umbrella and push a wheelchair. I had a ton of money in the bank then, so l just passed up my classroom went to the office and quit school, LIKE AN IDIOT! lol. I was making straight A's, and would have loved the job. I regret that "snap" decision big time. It took me about 5 years to run through that money! Eating out, new cars, cash for a huge house, no financial planning or advice and it ran out! Lol. Dumb to have quit O.T. school. Sheesh!
Can you go back?
Also you can call me Kiara if you’d like <3
Kiara, l am bad with names. Really bad, so remind my often! Ha. It too late to go back to O.T school. I was 26 when l was going through it, got 2 years in. Now l am 68, and have forgotten so much and the pain hss gotten worse as l have aged. So l am just trying to get by a day at a time. No school for me now. Ha
I feel it. <3
Have you tried Universal Class?
Call me whatever you’d like <3
You're funny, Keira! Sweetie, l am in too much pain from a snapped spinal cord to do much at all. I hardly leave the house..I could handle when younger but as l aged it got harder and harder to work. I quit TJ Maxx 5 years ago. In too much pain to work even a part time shift. I miss it and all the young friends l had, full of life. But l am okay, positive attitude by nature. I have gotten depressed before but always snapped out of it quickly. Being in a wheelchair is the easy part, after 44 years l am expert at the paraplegic part. It'sthe pain that that is my disability. It has me buffaloed! No doctors know how to stop it, it's too complex as my brain tries to figure out where my legs are, but signals hit my torn spinal cord coming back telling me wrong crazy things. So it is like torture that follows me around. Can't escape it, so l deal with it. I do what l can, rest when l need to. I am surviving! You are sweet. I have my life basically figured out, l want to see others do the same. And emotional problems are worse than physical pain to me! I am fine emotionally. So here l am, hoping to encourage others! Helps me notice my pain less and do some good, hopefully, at the same time. Thanks for your sweet personality and concern for others. You are going to be just fine! I can tell!!!
Aww, I’m so sorry, but I love the positive way you look at it! <3
Hey hey. I'm sorry you are feeling sad and lonely. Just wanted to say you are so supportive. I strive to be more like you. 🤗 Hugs! I hope you get some sleep and have a better day today ❤️
Awww thank you <3
Heya, missed you Kiara. Hope your having a good time.
I think I never got to ask what's your favorite color :0
Awww thank you! How are you doing??? <3
Pink, purple, and blue <3
I'm doing fine 🙂
woah those colors could make a great design 🩷💜💙
Heres a pink ice cream 🍨, purple flower🪻, and blue hat 🧢 in a gift 🎁 for you. ✨
You should draw it hehe
Howdy, where are you located? I an in Knoxville, Tennessee. Retired, a paraplegic, and in chronic pain and alone! Ha. Sounds fun. Right? Like you, l miss connecting with people.i am super outgoing yet alone which isn't ideal to say the least. I joined to find help for physical pain, which nobody is talking about. But found that my life experience could encourage all sorts of folks that are similar to you! You are very eloquent in the things you say! Rather amazing all you got into that one post! Keep communicating, we aint bots but real people. I can't actually give youna hug, but would if l could! Much live from Tennessee!!!😊
@warmheartedhuman836. I have a physical disability also and experience a great deal of pain much of the time. It appears to be psychosomatic and is aggravated by anxiety. Maybe you could start a conversation about this and feel free to tag me. Or if you have already please tag me so I can find it I'm not here all the time but I am sure you and others have a lot of helpful information to share.
Reserved owl, you're my first person to speak of pain. What you wrote made me wonder if there is a psycosomatic element to my pain too? Any stress causes my pain to climb! Interesting! So sorry we have pain in common. Me? Broken back, snapped spinal cord at T-12. Pain started the moment the accident happened and is still going. A boatload of Gabapentin is the only thing that knocked it down about 25%, I will take it! I have in my 44 years as a paraplegic, met a lot of people in all sorts of pain! I once started a little pain website, wore myself out trying to encourage others. Had to hand it off to two women glad to do so. But was amazed at all the vast types of conditions l had never heard of that cause physical pain, fibromyalgia being the most mysterious to me? So l don't know how to text you personally. I see people speaking of pen-pals but am clueless about that up to this point in my ten days here. Maybe l just start a topic and hope you see it? Still trying to learn the ropes here. Maybe we can help each other? Hugs!🙃
I really appreciate you sharing and you have such a positive attitude it sounds like so I can see you being a light in that forum. I don't want to hijack your conversation @jesusredeemedme2425. But to tag people use the @sign and their name. I'm not sure what forum would be appropriate either. I am pretty new here too. What do you think Kiara?
You made a post before I saw this hehe! Sorry lol
Reservedowl and l, warmheartedhuman are interested in folks in physical pain! (Emotional too) but it happens we both have a disability and are in chronic pain. Just throwing it out there, folksð¥°
Awww thank you! I don’t want to give out my location, but I’m in America :)
Redeemed, that's what l meant! We are in the same country but there are people here from all over thr place!!!
Exactly <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Hope you had a good day I saw a huge spider today and it freaked me out i tried to just push it out the window but ended up breaking a leg off now i feel bad because he wasn't trying to hurt anything. I gave him a little bit of bread and hope he make it.
all the best,
Redeemed, remember the movie. "Seeking a friend fir the end of the world"? Steve Carell refuses to kill a spider in his bathroom sink, next scene is the spider crawling on his face as he slept then him driving to work with helps on his face! Funny!
Jesusredeemedme, love your name! He did the same for me, too! And surely you are a girl so scared of a spider. BUT, l am not fond of them either, just not terrified. BUT, I used to deliever fish to pet shops, one day the owner walked by with an 8 ft python, handed it to me and walked away. He assumed l had dealt with snakes before. Lol, l had not. I had a death grip just behind it'shead, it didn't like that and we had a battle for 5 minutes till the owner came back. He snatched it from me, "Why are you squeezing it?" He asked. Lol. I informed him l had never touched a snake in my life, and he apologized. I am not terrified of snakes, but have no desire to play with one either! Haha
Awww I’m sure he’s fine, he has 7 other legs :)
My mom and I found a TINY spider with a HUGE web hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425
Hi well i can talk to you about the weather in my country which is really getting drowned with endless strong Typhoons. It make me wish that I live in another country haha. It's always raining during these months in my country. Probably in yours, winter is around the corner.
If you experience winter, can you tell me about it?
Some say it's sad and boring. But for me who haven't seen winter. It feels exciting to see. :)
What’s a typhoon?
Our winters aren’t exciting. No snow in my area. Just cold and wet. Lol
A typhoon is another name for a hurricane l think.?
@jesusredeemedme2425
Hey Kiara, I'm sorry you are down so much lately, always at the end of a message, you mean the world to all of us, never forget it 💕 💜
Keira, l saw on another site an older guy saying that he thinks because of social media and the world in general, young people are too much in their heads. I think he is not wrong. At age 14, you aren't supposed to have the world all figured out. I am glad you are pensive ( a new word l learned, and reflect a lot on things) but don't do so to the point of feeling down. We can overthrow things to our detriment! Remember to chill out, knowing you will accumulate knowledge and wisdom and you don't have to know it all yet. In fact none of us know it all. Just be you! You are an awesome youngster on your way to being an awesome adult. You may end up doing amazing things in your life! That is my prediction as an old man anyway! Haha
@warmheartedHuman836 You're awesome 💝
Fossil, thank you. My last day here. Family believes you are all bots! Too crazy to get into. So for their sake l am getting off here. Be a shining light in my place and encourage all these people in dark places! Hugs. ð¥°
We’re definitely not bots! Lol. I’m human. I know I can’t prove that lollll… But what if I wrote something weird and random that AI wouldn’t write lol
Nehemfiwbwidbslwjxn
Keira, you're hilarious. Maybe l will be back. Keep being your sweet young self! You're an awesome kid, love you! Your smart and talented and loving. Quit downing yourself! Never think that way, you're awesome! Don't let anyone tell you differently! Will miss you youngster! You are wise beyond your years! That much l know for sure. And your proof that you're not a bot convinced me. Hahaha. Will miss you and Amanda especially and so many others! Bye-bye!
I’m actually not 14, that was someone else lol!
Awww thank you so much! You stay awesome too! You’re so welcoming and kind and open-hearted. Never lose that! <3
Keira, l am "kind of" back, just won't be online here as much. I talked to Amanda about this, it's embarrassing, but at 68 l am having memory problems. It's scary! I pray it doesn't progress into Alzheimers. But in another decade, it may? I figure being on here encouraging others HAS to be good for my brain. My family feared my judgment may be gone, and l might send money to someone with a sob story. They are overreacting to me but l am still glad they care about me. Anyway, l will be on when l can. And Keira, l think l thought you were 14! See, bad memory! You still feel very young to me, and very smart!!
Ah, you indeed are a girl, Keira! You are obviously a sweetheart and l saw from Amanda that she feels the same. May you have a better day today. I am old as dirt, but can be your grandpa like old friend! Much love to you today!!!
Aww thank you! <3
What brought you to 7Cups?
@jesusredeemedme2425 Do you play any games?
Are we talking video games, board games, cards games, etc? Hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 anything goes 😁
I love video games, but I haven’t played them in ages.
I love Codenames <3
What is one thing you currently enjoy the most ?
Forum, right now? Connecting with people on this site! I'm really enjoying posting to folks, at least telling them l care even if l have no solid answer to the physical or emotional pain they're going through!
@warmheartedHuman836
Sorry for being so late. That's very kind of you for letting people know that they are seen. Sometimes presence of someone is what a person needs the most.
I REALLY love drawing! I mostly use thin colored pens, watercolor pens, and acrylic brush markers. I used to mainly use graphite, but now I have carpal tunnel :(
@jesusredeemedme2425
That must be so fun. Are you still enjoying it?
I also draw rarely but by watching tutorials : ) I can't draw without them. I once was watching a tutorial and drawing an anime character (Idk which one) And it took me 3 hours.
I'm here to listen you message me
Hi comfortingwings, good morning to ya! ð¥°, l am sending love to you, as best l can!
Sorry so late! Messaged you :)
