Away from home and desperately lonely

Posted by coop at March 7, 2012
Tags: Loneliness  2012 March

This may sound odd, but I was happy to find this online. I moved to Canada 6 months ago and it's been so hard to make any friends. My life consists of getting up in the morning, working out, showering, breakfast, work, home, eat, tv, shower, bed and the same again the very next day. I thought I would meet people in work and gain some kind of a social life. In my first job most people had formed in to cliques and much as I tried to start conversations, I was generally met the "who are you to talk to me" look. So I took action a month ago and changed my job hoping I would find friends. I now work with all guys in an IT Department who barely speak and don't seem to socialise at all. The lonliness is starting to get to me big time and I have to stop myself from crying when I see my front door in the evening.. I don't come straight home form work and find myself hanging around the mall not wanting to face the idea of sitting in my apartment alone. Last weekend, I spent in my Pajamas and sat in the apartment. I think now I'm just so depressed due to the loneliness and I have no idea how to change it or what to do. I've looked in to meeting groups but they don't organise anything to do and the last time they organised a cinema outing, I was the only one to show so I went home and decided to give up on it. I knew moving 4,000 miles was going to be tough but I didn't think I'd be alone all the time. I find now at the weekends that once the apartment door closes behind me on Friday evening I don't see the hallway until Monday morning and I think my depression is starting to show. I don't seem to talk to people as easily as I used to in that I trip over my words if a cashier asks me a question in a shop. If I knew how to change this, I would.

good news is you are trying. forgot the online meet up groups then. go to local events. fairs. live bands. singles events. go to church.

join meetup.com. They are in every city, and whatever your interest is, they're be tons of people who share it. Hang in there and don't let your mind trap you into thinking that this is the way things are - its not, you can take charge and live your life. Be proactive and start enjoying YOURSELF, before you know it people will want to know you.

I can totally relate to you. I'm 29 and have a good job and a lot to offer, but I'm somehow stuck in this rut of loneliness. All I do is go to work and go to the gym. I feel exactly as you do. I spend every weekend and all my free time alone. It sucks. I've decided to A - join meetup and B - start taking some martial arts classes that I've been interested in. I think the key is to just stay busy and stay out of your apt. Take classes, join groups, and FORCE yourself to say YES to every invitation! That's what I'm trying to do... starting tomorrow, lol.
