I'm at a pretty low point at the moment. The last year has probably been one of my worst. I've dealt with being homeless, losing my ex partner and my Mum passed away.
Recently I've really struggled with making new friends. I've tried to connect with some local people who have caught my eye. I've also tried to connect through these forums by joining in with find a friend type threads and recently the blind date thread.
Sometimes I really just want someone to talk to. I understand I'm not everyone's beverage of choice but it's really getting me down  |

I'm really sorry to hear you've been through so much. That must have been really tough.
Loneliness always seems to feel even worse when times are hard.
Fab is full of many lovely ,supportive people and I've seen lots of kindness and friendships develop over the years here. However maybe this isn't the right time for you to be looking for the fab type of connections. They can sometimes be fleeting and leave you feeling worse.
Have you considered local interest or meet up groups ?
I wish you well and hope that things get easier for you . |

OP loneliness is really tough but I'm not sure Fab is a great place for a man tu ease that. I think you would be better off taking an evening class or joining a meet up.
Best of luck. You deserve not to be lonely. |

Really sorry you've had such a rough year, OP.
I'd echo what MsWyld said. Maybe join some local groups - you list lots of hobbies that lend themselves to finding friends with similar interests. It's not easy, I know, but there's always an element of 'putting yourself out there' - you won't make friends if you don't put yourself in the situation to meet new people. Hope you're feeling better soon! |

I’m really sorry to hear this OP. Going through tough times is horrible enough when you have friends and family around to help and support you so I can’t imagine how bad it must be when you don’t have anyone and you’re alone.
I see that you’re not interested in single men but if you just want a chat to help feel less lonely then feel free to message me. |

I’m sorry to hear that OP. I have been and am in a similar place with loneliness. Happy to chat any time you like. Friends can be found here. Sometimes all it takes is for you to reach out. I have and always will find them my rock ♥️ |

Sorry you are going through this. Believe me as a single guy I know that feeling.
But as someone said this site is a harsh unforgiving environment for men specially those of us who battleveith loneliness.

It's sounds like a really tough year.
In honestly I didn't think fab is a good place to try to combat loneliness - especially for a single male, as the odds are stacked against you in terms of rejection - so you need to have really thick skin and an incredible amount of resilience
I think you would be better looking for non-fab group opportunities - FB is a fantastic place for finding events with like-minded people - hiking groups for instance is one that springs to mind
I hope you feel less lonely soon OP xx |

Ohhh, OP. I'm so sorry to hear you're in a low place. I very much enjoyed chatting to you as a result of our match on the blind date thread. You are a nice guy, and easy to chat to. Anytime you want to, just pop me a message, and I'll respond, even if it isn't immediately. ❤
It's hard losing people who are an integral part of our lives, and the aftershocks last years, if not for the rest of our lives.
Stay strong, and persevere. It isn't easy, but I believe in you. 🤗 |

I can relate to a few things you're going through mate ,I've not really talked much with what's happened through the last year so if you ever want to talk mate you're more than welcome. I truly hope things pick up for you. |

I actually think your post was very brave. Hard times will always come. But equally they will pass. Its just hanging in there till the storm passes.
I think you should start a post ie. My weekly rant. Just for people to have a rant.
Good luck.  |
