I pray that you and the OP keep finding hope each day. I lost my son to suicide and it has destroyed me. We are all flawed and perfection is a mirage. Just know that you are important and loved. Most people don’t realize that, and most people don’t let others know how important others are to them. It’s a blind spot for most of us. Your daily interactions in life have enormous, but invisible impacts. You are needed.
Thank you.
”What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:31-39 NIV
At 25 I could handle it by surfing the net and playing guitar
At 30 I took up running
At 35 I cannot cope anymore. Everything feels pointless. If my parents go I'm going to.
First, I really do not think you're telling the truth. Nobody who is truly lonely will tell about it in a running forum. But, in case someone who really is, read this forum, consider changing the approach. Loneliness means freedom for doing watever you want whenever you want. No more weddings, burials, communions, birthday parties or other useless events that you hate to attend but are force to do it just to please your (supposedly) good friends... More time for yourself, and that means everything from traveling, running, reading, meeting people (Have you consider Grindr?) It's not so hard to meet people either just for sex or for going out...

Service to others and the community will eventually offer purpose to your life.
Food bank, YMCA, Big Brothers, assistant coach of a team of grade school or high school, community shelter, local garden club, read to kids at hospital......
I would hit the bars meet some girls........wanna dance...worked for me. Get out start having some adventures. Big old world out there.
Of course at 35 you'll be meeting women not girls with kids, hmmm?
I’m with Deno on this one. Hit the bar. If you want some weird Christian dork then try the salsa class like someone else mentioned. All the fun chicks party though.

Don’t get down. I was single until the age of 49. With running I had quite a bit of socialization so I never felt isolated. And there were people at work to talk to. I didn’t always have women companions but I never felt as though I couldn’t meet a woman. As always, the way out is an inclination to want to do something positive more than you want to do something negative. Sometimes I used to go car camping up in Quebec. Met a lot of people that way. Bottom line, try to stay positive. I know sometimes it’s difficult but there’s always a way out. Good luck!

Girls at the bar are there to meet somebody most the time, a few dances a few drinks will help anyone who was lonely.
right...because the only places worth traveling to internationally are in Asia.
Well I'll get killed in Africa and South America has cartels. That leaves Eastern Europe where women are aloof or Australia which is expensive and has strict visa rules. That leaves North America or Scandinavia.
are you finanially struggling at the moment as well? in this day and age i think finance plays a big role in men's loneliness considering how everything revolves around money whether we like it or not (especiaily dating). Heart breaks and loneliness hits very differently whe one is broke or still strugglng with life's ambition. The other day i was so sad i posted my story here on letsrun, and my thread was removed. Thank you LetsRun for that, the moderators have zero IQ on human issues, they see it as a joke when in reality , life can be so much different when a persson is truly hurting.
Hi, I’m in the same boat as you, except I’ve been married once and she tried to kill me. She fled the police and ended up in jail. I say that to mean, it could be worse.
i recently had someone tell me all people are worth saving but not all lives are worth living. I think there is a lot of wisdom there. Understand what would make your life worth living and if that gap is something you can close.
before I get blasted by people, this philosophy is fairly standard—taking people off life support in extreme cases. Or in the Netherlands where they allow autistic people to die physician assisted instead of going into a group home when their parents pass.
