Loneliness

:wtf: ... if you a grown man then this is kind of pathetic

go and do something its that simple. Geez why must everything be a complex issue the solutions is quite simple
its a poofter thing :p
 
Go out to your local... I do that on nights when I'm at home on my ace and it makes me feel better

+1. When I just moved to Cape Town I did not know anyone. Took me about two to three months to really make friends, and in that time when I felt lonely I visited my local had a beer or two watched some sports.
 
Your state of depression comes from having too much time on your hands...

I used to frequent the pubs allot when I moved to Paarl, and I used to go there alone. And I don't talk much either, I would usually wait for people to talk to me first before I talk to them. But it amazes me when I look back at all the stuff that I've experienced while minding my own business at the pub...

Your specific depression also comes from repetition.

Went through the same thing.What i discovered is i had low self esteem,self acceptance issues and thinking approval from people will make me happy but it was actually a problem in my life.Sometimes i wish i can start a group where we help each other with such issues.My solution was lots of positive thinking ,self confidence,motivational and spiritual books,videos and audio books.I would listen to them from the morning till night .Now i'd rather have the whole world against me than my own self.
 
Go out and live ffs. Your insecurities, shyness and worries may seem a major obstacle now but believe me they are absolutely nothing. Something you will realize if you are unfortunate enough to have real problems come your way. If they do come then it's too late.

Can we still post in here for some advice? Thread title struck me, and reading it is very close to home. I am married, 2 kids, 3 dogs, medium sized family, but am so ****en lonely. Its a constant battle between myself and my wife, that she is there but isnt, if you know what i mean. its like the older i get, the less friends i have, the more my wife goes out by herself, the more i stay with the kids and work on the house, and provide and ...and...and... it just seems so endless. i feel like every day there is less importance for me to be in it, yet i constantly strive to do more, but it is so unfulfilling and unrewarding? Admittedly this is a bit dark, but ****, when does it get better?

admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery!!!

Only you can address the problem by implementing changes yourself . You will have to speak to your wife about it and let her know you are unhappy about the current situation.

What is my problem? if i knew i had one, i would fix it. guess that is what is so frustrating. i have no clue or idea anymore of what it is meant to be like or when it is supposed to be good. ****en numbed.

This is true, but after years of discussing and fighting and seeing therapists etc etc, it just feels like it is the same record repeating itself. i have spoken to her countless times, but it has borne rotten fruit. now i feel like the bad apple. you know when you tell a woman she is fat, again and again, and eventually she believes you, well that is how i feel. constantly driven down to the point where you question everything. really *** place to be.
