Loneliness

Recently I felt lonely during the lockdown due to a lack of social interaction with others and recently I found myself feeling lonely sometimes not because I am single and not due to the lockdown now.This is just more to do with perhaps not having enough meaning full friendships that go beyond the superficial "how are you kinda thing".
I am naturally an encouraging type if person and since being a Christian God has somehow annointed this and over the years people have opened up about all kinda things to me wiithout me even doing anything.God has made it clear to be wise as some people can be insincere and value you for what they gain from you and no more.
Yet there aren't many that I have a deeper connection with and I gues at times I wish I had that.What have your experiences been in regards to loneliness (not about not having a partner)..coz you can be married,or be in a room full people and STILL feel lonely.
Be nice to here your experiences ect and how you cope.😊😊👌

I've experienced loneliness since I lost my left leg in an emergency amputation in 2017. My life changed instantly! I lost everything, and had to move in with my daughter and her family. I found this site today and is more of what i've been looking for rather than a dating site. I want to be able to make friends but not expecting any more than that. I dont care if you are male or female. It's no fun staring at the four walls of your room 24 hours a day for 3 years. It took 16 months to get my prosthetic leg and i still dont have good balance. Im hoping to drive again when i can afford a vehicle. I'm new on here and wanted to say hello to whomever is on here. Im Don in Texas

When I was single I would start feeling lonely if I saw an obvious happy couple while I seemed to be alone in the world. I really only felt lonely if I dwelled on it. I got through it by immersing myself in my work. In the end that just wasn't enough. I felt like I was living a ground hog day (movie) life. Each day was the same old story. Nothing really changed except each year I was another year older.

What I finally did was pray about it, prayed for God to search and find the one of my heart's desire. The search took 3 years but well worth the wait. The story didn't end well though because the woman I married was not in the best of health but I knew that from the start. God asked me if I was willing to take care of her, but if I said "yes" there was no going back. It was a very hard marriage but I had love in my heart to give to her and she had love in her heart to give to me. Married in 2002 and a widower in 2014.

"...alone again, naturally".

Love this testimony bro.Your wife who passed away got to experience the blessing of being cared for and loved by a husband which I am sure wasn't easy at times.So many women never get to experience the love of a caring man in their lives....only the cruelty from bad evil hearted guys.😔
Yes we do at times find ways to cope with loneliness such as keeping busy and focus on the positive things in our lives and yes you certainly felt a piece of the puzzle was missing for you....and praise God it did come.
12 years of marriage and now you are alone again..so would be seeking God to remarry or just ask God to fill your life with things to eliminate those feelings and naturally remove those lonely feelings?

No, not alone. God provided me with a wonderful woman, in good health that became my wife. I met her on this site as she is also a member. This will in fact, be my last marriage and it is until death do we part.

When I first joined this site I was in horrible shape. During the last 8 years of marriage to my late second wife we lived in her home state so she could be close to her elderly parents. I won't go into detail because this is available in other threads over many posts. In the end, her parents died, she died, I lost everything I own due to being evicted because of the antics of her son, car broke down, lost my two dogs, and resigned my job because I was not going to stay alone and isolated in Maine any longer. The day after her funeral service I got on a bus to Orlando with just a duffle bag of clothes and a broken heart.

When my current wife first came in contact with me on CC I was a total wreck. Yeah, I was probably covered with raised red flags but she saw through that and just saw a lonely hurt broken man. There is a night and day of positive difference between 2014 and 2020 for me. This by the grace of God.

You stated that you could be alone even though you were married. Well, that struck a chord with me as I spent 8 years in Maine separated from my family in Orlando, and isolated from the life that I once had. I had to watch my late wife die by degrees each day and crying because of the pain until the day I ordered the doctor to remove the respirator that was keeping her alive during her last day of life. The last words my late wife said, with tears in her eyes, was that she just wanted be with Jesus now. Two weeks later I honored her last request.

Thanks for sharing bro..👏🏻👏🏻😊

What a great post. I want to first respond by saying that I am sorry for what you are going through. Some people need interaction with others as a necessity. I sincerely hope and pray that you can find those interactions soon so you can flourish and be blessed.

As for me, I am at a point in my life where God has so intervened, that my earthly relationships are more of a footnote as well as a blessing. In other words, I put those relationships in the context of God's upper story rather than having them carry too much weight.

Since I am not fully repaired from recent relationship troubles, I am waiting for God to direct me in new relationships. Much to my chagrin, those new relationships are involving a lot of hard work and Christian service.

I pray every day that I would be up to the task.

Jesus had just a few who were close to relationally

He loves you too much to leave you where you are...same to me too.😊😊

Yep, and one of those wonderful people was Peter, the guy who denied Him three times! I don't know about you, but I've been denied by lots of people who I thought I could trust, also.

I hope that one day I can develop at least some of the patience, grace, and mercy that Jesus showed to Peter.



Amen.
