I think what the OP is saying is they don't have anyone they can play around with. Instead of giving pointers, you could be a friend with benefits to them. That is what they want.

My motto is "I rather be happy and alone than unhappy with someone".

ok, you've missed the point rose, I was suggesting that folks already in nursing homes could you use your company...you kinda like...if you're lonely, why not go and comfort someone who is much lonelier than you.

If I go so low as to be in a nursing home. I will make it rain that place. Their won't be a dull moment and I'll be bigger **** then any nurse can stand or handle. I am not pooping in no bed pan and waiting on them to come get it 2 hrs later or eating cold meal that had no salt or taste in it. Nursing homes are just prisons to shut up old people and over dose them to make them thing they're living in luxury. I could live on cruise line cheaper and more comfortable then live in a rest home. And that comes with free meal and entertainment.

Do you have something you like to do? Do that! Other folks might like the same thing and you can get together and share your love for those endeavors. If you can find what makes you happy, you will never be lonely.

I have never been in a nursing home but even there, there must be aides or nurses or volunteers who come and give good cheer. I do not understand the alone lonely thing. My family is far away, but I am never lonely. To the OP. Find your happiness! Find something that makes you happy.

I'm with Bestill.

i don't understand the whole loneliness thing either...isn't this the guy who is always on here kvetching about being lonely and offering chicks money and trips to hang out with him?

Yesterday, I got up, rode my motorcycle to the mountains, had a hot dog at amy convenient mart for thanksgiving meal, then came home and went to a movie.....ALONE.

What A Great Day!

For some, they're days I feel like that. And then other days your going to change your mind and wanna come and socialize. But it all determines on when.

Being alone does not make a person lonely. I love being alone, but I never find myself lonely!

I find it hard to believe a person wants to be alone Goddess, I haven't seen the conversation. But I think what some people want is there family more then anything. You can still feel lonely even in the company of friends. I did, I forced myself to go alone and still felt bad about eating with strangers like myself who might even no longer have family. It cheered me up a little, but your always gonna have that feeling and longing to be with your family....family. As odd as that sounds, I have gone to extreme lengths and maybe even what some might assume to be a mental psychological breakdown in order to feel there presence around for the holidays. Not drug use of course. But I think eventually it takes a toll on someone while it harmless as long as the person isn't kidnapping anyone or causing self harm I guess.
Why shed a once of blood and waste it on people who are not even real in the imagination you've created.Mentally of course, not in the real world I'm speaking metaphorically.

I private messaged you 2 weeks ago and you NEVER responded... �"�"�" I would've invited you to Thanksgiving Dinner!

Send the wimmin here d*** pics. That'll have 'em running to ya!

I think we've had this conversation a couple of weeks ago with this poster...I see, you've taken no action towards your situation.

Don't worry, your not alone as they're folks who know how you feel.

Going to church and meeting people there is a great option for folks who lean toward that. Joining an exercise group is another idea. To walk a couple of miles a few times a week is a good way to get things pumping. Take your dog if you have one. Borrow a dog if you must. Do not mention any bones in your basement nor that you sometimes like to smell moth balls.

I assume you don't have a regular church since you are lonely; find a church that you like and you will find people who would love to have you. You will never be alone then.

Sorry, but you won't find any answers or sympathy on this forum. It's mostly the same crowd and you'll usually get a smarta** response. I understand how you feel. Seems like I've been alone forever (I'm old). Now I wouldn't know how to be with people. Chin up - you'll either meet someone or get used to it. There are lots worse things than being alone.

Or count your blessings, you don't have a house full of rude, overstuffed, outrageously loud football fans, a kitchen full of dirty dishes,... quite, aloneness, sounds pretty inviting right now!
Peace, I hope you find whatever makes you happy.

Or volunteer! I know that Hospitality House in Boone is serving Thanksgiving supper. Three churches in town are too- check the JPbto find out. Go help and you will make connections and feel good :)
