I don't know how to deal with loneliness in general

I feel your pain. I don't get to go out much myself so the internet is all I've got. It sucks because it just makes things worse instead of making it better.

 

Hi guys,

Loneliness is something we all suffer from now and then, it's a part of life imho.
But we can try to be active, even if your only way of interacting is the internet.

Try to find something in your life that you really can be passionate about, and replace pmo with it.
I know it's not easy to do, but if you just think about "no pmo, no pmo, no pmo,..." all the time, it's just not gonna work, we need to replace this crap with meaningful and positive things.

Give it some thought, and ask yourself what activities you really like...

All my best, keep trying to make your life better, and please, never give up, never !

 

I hear you, man. I have a chronic and debilitating illness, so I don't get out much, and when I do I'm too exhausted to talk to girls or do the whole banter thing. I don't know what the solution is, man. I really don't. But I will tell you that you're definitely not alone in how you're feeling.

 

Sorry for your suffering. I relate.

2 missing ingredients for me:

Living alone.

Not working.

I think too much isolation is central. Especially in bed alone at night. I have no relationship, no family, have disconnected from friends.

That all contributed to Chat room addiction. It wasn't just sex. It was the interaction, being welcomed back, being remembered.

Creating consistent human connection is key. If not that, a pet.

We are not meant to be alone.

Hang in brother. Keep trying to de-isolate.
