Really, I am. Why isn't the phone ringing? Why isn't anybody picking up? C'mon! I'm so frustrated.
I'm so tired of being lonely

me too, but eh, you get used to it after awhile and make up your own fun most of the time and get pretty content for the time being.

How are you with a Catholic, married middle aged man with 7 kids at home? If that's cool, post your phone number.
See. Things could be worse.

I've known the feeling for quite some time, and now I'm very intensely crushing on a special woman and she lives 12 hours away (that and I don't think she quite feels the same way I do).

Aww.. Im sorry.
Have any hobbies you can entertain with?
I always found that God has used my hobbies to put me in touch with a lot of new people all of the time. I end up meeting fun people whilst Im just trying to keep myself entertained.
It's worth a try if you can do it.

I'm not that kind of lonely. I'm not lonely for a boyfriend. I just want to hang out with my friends, but they live 100 miles away or have weekend jobs.

For a long time I really struggled with loneliness. I had tons of friends but always felt like I was sitting at home doing nothing. Then I just expanded my community. There are tons of people I hardly know that I will sometimes get coffee with. Sure, it's a bit awkward at times.. but it makes life interesting, and a few of those people I barely knew when we facebooked each other about "hey let's catch up!" have turned into friends.
Frequently, I've learned that I focus too much one what a specific group of others are doing. I'd say "everybody is busy!" and I really just meant the first 5 people I'd instinctively call. By catching myself when I'm thinking that way, it has helped me really just stop being so darn picky about who I call my friend and who I don't.
Life is short, so why not engage in potentially awkward situations with people you kind of but don't really know?

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. I was in the same boat when I first joined the Air Force, all of my friends were hundreds of miles away, and I never made new friends that easily, so I sat in my room for weeks, and months, until eventually I did make a few new friends. But you have one advantage that I did not, you have the internet, now the internet was around in 1998 when I went through what youre going through, but I had no way to connect to it. When I did get a computer I spent alot of my time on it, socializing with people.

Props.
How did you meet these people; the ones you hardly know that you'll sometimes get coffee with?

After moving away for college, loneliness has become a huge part of my life that I had never dealt with before. It can be rough.

Sometimes high school friends.. sometimes just randomly seeing people and having the guts to talk to them (this isn't as often as it should be). Hearing friends talk about their other friends and then saying "they're cool, I would like to meet them!" and following up on that. I also started getting involved in local music stuff, just checking out musicians.. and I've met friends that way.
It is not as easy as I might have made it seem, and I am probably not as cool as it might make me seem. but there are so many people in the world and I would like to know more about all of them
