I've often read that women can sense desperation a mile away and that desperation is a rather unnatractive feature.

Yet on some late evenings I can't help but feel very lonely, as if it wouldn't matter if I ceased to exist. It's hard to get rid of such loneliness, and with such loneliness comes a desperation and yearning for affection.

I know I didn't feel such loneliness when I had pets, but they passed away nearly 5 years ago, and I don't live in a pet friendly place.

I sympathize and empathize with your pain.

I don't have an answer for your question.

Friends are one thing, but at the end of the day, I go back to an empty place.

It might be different for every person.

For me, it was me realizing that I wasn't going to have anymore success, and, I just stopped worrying about it for the most part, and I decided I'd do other things in my life.

We've all been there. I'm actually in a bad patch right now feeling lonely and I wake up in the middle of the night feeling blue. I guess the few things I've personally been able to do are just take my mind off it by surfing the web. YouTube is full of quasi-science discussions (they're not really scientific, but they're scientific concepts aimed at laypeople) that are sort of fun to watch for a while. Or if you're into cars, I sometimes like to watch car reviews. If you like animals, there are great channels with really cute puppies and kittens running around.

The bottom line is that you feel loneliest when there's nothing going on and you have to think about it. Do things that don't have anything to do with relationships. For example, I unfortunately can't watch sitcoms like "Big Bang Theory" anymore because every episode has everyone in a relationship and doing couple things. So I stopped watching it. That actually helped.

The worst time, and the time I can't help you with because I have trouble with it, is the time before you fall asleep, when you're just laying there. But I guess all I can say is that if you get tired enough you'll fall asleep quickly. I've recently just stayed up late and woken up early and I'll post on here like crazy. If you're typing and reading, it can really distract you. So if you see some early-morning posts from me, that's why.

I don't feel really feel lonely when busy. But in some isolated moments, such as when you're trying to fall asleep or when you sit down to eat, loneliness hits you pretty darn hard.

Be in peace with yourself, enjoy what you like to do and when you don't think about it, good things will happen cause without realize that stay of being emotionally and having a good attitude will attract others. Desperation will drive you to make bad choices and you worth more than that
