Loneliness
Loneliness is one of the scourges of humanity. At the end of the day, we are all alone. We cannot always get our feelings, ideas or experiences across exactly. There is a painful reality that in such a country like here ultimately we, living apart from our loved ones are alone, by ourselves, and of course lonely. Loneliness is a curse for some people, a shadow that follows people all the time that rears its ugly head at every human contact. Some feel lonely when they get with minimal human contact. Whether you agree with me or not, loneliness is a universal phenomenon, it visits every human soul at some time in every culture, every race, every class, every age, and at all times in human history.
So guys, please be honest…have you ever come across this situation in your life? What is loneliness for you? Is it a state of mind? Or a condition?
EL - Loneliness is a boon in disguise.
This is normal.
There are many of your countryment in Doha. Find out where they hang out. also, try and join some clubs. You will make friends I am sure..
play some online strategy games, make friend and chat with them using skype :)
I do play lots of chess on Yahoo
But this does not stand for the human touch
You still need someone to love, talk, learn from and fight with :S
If you know Chess then buy one laptop then start playing....:) you will not get enough time 4 tht...i bet...
I'm feeling very very lonely thee days and I just came to Qatar 4 weeks ago and still do not know what I'm going to do the next weeks.
I left my family and my friends back home and right now I'm all the time alone even at work. I try to go to the Cornish to walk or to meet somebody but no use everybody looks to be self oriented and occupied.
How do you guys cope with this?
That is a possibility and it's preferable.
Oracle...
I wish you were engaged on our PM thread yesterday lol...
EL - Let's PM :)
Oracle...
Yeh you are right...
Life is made up of small Moments. Let's make each moment count.
EL - It's the same here. Maybe allof us Lonely Souls must get together and do something interesting :)
Oracle....
While being alone I feel lonely, bad, unhappy and bored. Well... I am trying to escape from my bad moods by doing anything that could keep me busy. After all I am a social being by nature.
EL - Loneliness can lead to a lot of good thingsin life.
What happen if two lonely people start to make friends with each other?
My loneliness is killing me
And I
I must confess, I still believe (still believe)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time!
Why don't you all lonely ladies get together to start some group activities? Some useful work or social service.
If you are lonely when you are alone, you are in a bad company
“Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”
“It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself.”

Is it only me f**** happy to be alone and lonely?! :D
ramil,

i agree with you jpa,
Loneliness is a luxury if compared to what other people are going through.

Aameen!
there's a big difference in "being alone" and "lonely" the former is more like a welcome solitude; "me time" so to speak where you know its not really how you wish to be forever more like a temporally break from human disturbances which you can fill up doing stuff you would normally not do when in company. However "lonely" is different. This is emotionally more a negative state which one doesn't really want to be in and where you actually crave "specific" company.Its possible even to be among hundreds and still feel "lonely" and loneliness is often linked to depression.
Personally I've been through both and whilst I appreciate my "Me time" I seek refuge in God from being "lonely"..this is never a feeling I want to ever experience again..Aameen!
FS....... nice
RFS..who takes care of your baby?
Your hubby must have a minority complex, RFS.
I got out for a walk for 20-25 minutes.than house work than i go for a volunteer work in a government organization for 1-2 hours.That is my sole interaction with outer world..:( Job offers I m getting but hubby is not permitting to do a job because he thinks that I will become financial independent that way and he is not able to dominate me.
FS - You don't look like Elephant when I saw you last time :). Give my regards to your Hubby & 2 Kids
Rizks, I ignored this.
LP but i also said "Single" eye of urs....:(
Lucky..lol I read Elephant instead of Elegant....ROFL
How can I be lonely when there are plenty of Elegant Ladies around in QATAR like Formatted Soul :)))))))))
The strongest trees are those that grow alone. The greatest dreams are those conceived alone. God can speak to you only when you are alone. Your purpose and life's meaning will be revealed to you only when you are alone. Yes, solitude is not the hovel of a recluse, but the mansion of a master... yet I am feeling lonely though I am surrounded by people .......
Rizks, you nonsense tiger! I said "Every" single atom!
LP so u have just a single atom in ur body and also just a single Eye to look at the Universe....:(
How can someone be lonely if every single atom in one's body is connected to every single atom in the universe?
loneliness is a part of life i guess, even if there are lot of people around you even though sometimes u feel lonely.
I think we always search for something which we dont know what it is...
RFS..is that the time when your hubby is at home? so what do you do from 6.30 am to 2.30 pm?
Loneliness is a state of mind. Sometimes we feel it even we are in the midst of a crowd. We have to consciously get out of it by concentrating on hobbies etc
Loneliness is a feeling and everyone goes through, and like any other feeling (love, hate etc.) creeps up when you are having one of those bad days. Just make sure you have someone to confide in, you do need someone to give you a nudge in times of grey.
But hey, you will get over it. This is how we all become self independent…
PS: A small advice, try doing things that you love. Break the normal 'monotonous' routine, i.e. work-out, watch a movie, eat out, read a book...
Loneliness when talking of minimal human contact, I consider is a boon here, atleast for me, and I prefer it that way.
2.30 pm to next 6.30 am I alone in a corner of house cooking food,washing clothes,ironing them,cleaning home,cleaning kitchen and trust me not a single call for me ever because I dont have a circle in Doha.
Dont blame and feel cursed.Just try to live life like me.
Some people are lonely even amongst a crowd ... We all go through this, especially as expats..
Emotional isolation is a state of mind...it happens mostly when you are detached from someone /something. You can feel lonely even if you are surrounded by people.
social isolation is a condition....which mostly happens due to lack of friends or socializing.
Thank you.
:P
who is Mr. Lonely?
Darude...
You accepted that we are all alone at the end of the day and how come the above post seem to be a complaint to you?
i will provide you backup all you just need is to ask
Lonely....hi Mr.Lonely, i hav no body - for all my life....:(
I love solitude...but I rarely get it..
in this world all alone and you will leave all alone so stop complaining
ah the vagaries of a bachelor/nuclear family life
