Oh ya, I feel lonely everyday. I've been struggling with loneliness for many years. I've even struggled with it while in relationships with the opposite sex. Well, I'm single now and the loneliness is off the charts. Also really don't have many friends. The few I do have are married and have children so they have zero time.
I'm not good at the hobby thing as my strong feelings of loneliness seems to even overshadow that. It really overshadows everything in my life and so I'm always trying to fix it but never making any real progress because it isn't a problem that can be "fixed" through logic alone.
I've looked at a local Meetup.com group in my area but the pictures they show I can tell it's already a big clique so I didn't bother. Then they made the group "private" and adopted a very strict "no show" policy so it is like they are trying to discourage new people from joining. I just can't win!
