Many people with SA, or with similar tendencies, live lonely lifestyles. My question is how many? Personaly, I am a lonley person, which is odd given that I don't really have an enormous desire to be around people. What about you?

Hmmm... sorta. Actually, HELL YES. I guess I kinda got used to it now though...

I wish I could get used to being lonely. Strangely, I didn't mind been on my own in the house when I went months and months without going out. Now I get restless and anxious. Then I go out and I'm restless and anxious.

The same. Might be, simply, the way I have always been and know nothing more. Of course fighting AvPD regularly helps to keep this life style.

To answer your question: No, I am not.

Yes...yes, I feel lonely most - if not ALL - the time. I do a damn good job of hiding it though.

I can't recall a time when I wasn't lonely. Of course being around people often exacerbates it, and that really makes me feel good. I often wonder how one can feel lonely when surrounded by others. And when I'm around other people I often can't wait until I can get away.

Family gatherings are notorious for making me feel this way. When my aunt & uncle host their Christmas party, I often wish I could play my violin. Then I'd take it out into a field and play "Ashokan Farewell" for the moon. I love all my relatives, but being around them always makes me feel so bad. So alone.

Sometimes. I feel lonely when I'm reminded of it. Ie; Going on facebook and seeing everyones updates and pictures, or getting calls from my friends about how they're bf's took them somewhere nice.
I think I'm really reminded when something very amazing or interesting happens to me and i don't have anyone to call and share it with.::(:
Other than that if I keep myself busy i don't notice it i guess...

July 11th is cheer up the lonely day. The writing is all backwards but, Look:

(I have this calendar which has all these weird "holidays")

But when I was talking to Voltron291, he pointed out that just because you're lonely, it doesn't mean that you're not happy.

This holiday is a rip off, lol :confused:

They've been thinking about having a national day for england, or is it britain? I forget which. But they can't decide what day to have it cos they're all taken lol.

Sometimes, especially happens when I feel upset, and I don't quite like sleeping alone as well when I'm upset, but when I'm really tired, I like having the bed all to myself.

I totally know what you mean about the relatives- I'm actually going to miss a family gathering this coming Saturday because they never give me enough of a heads up so that I can make sure that I'm not working. In a way, I'm upset, because I missed the Christmas one for the same reason, but in a way I'm relieved, because I'd rather not be around that many people at once, related or not.

And to answer the question, I am somewhat lonely- I spend many hours most days around tons of people while working, but I have no one that I see outside of that, to just hang out with socially.

Just like most of us here... I too feel lonely most of my waking moments, and even surrounded by people I still feel this way too. When I am at a party, and everyone around me is socializing and I am just standing there by myself, that is when I feel the worst. It's at that moment that I almost feel suicidal, so I do my best to avoid parties...
