Got a Case of the Lonelies, Anyone Else?

I do every now and then. I am also content to live alone for now but there are times I feel like you. If I do and no one is free to interact with I usually go out and do something like eat lunch at my favorite place or go get a coffee somewhere and just chill out there.
 

I have it sometimes when I am up all night. At that time, no one to call or any place to go. That can make for a long night. Right now I am getting ready to run to the store for a couple of things. Strange but I don't want to, it is a have to. I come here a lot when I want a connection, it really helps.

When I'm feeling lonely and/or missing family... I would go out shopping and eat out at my favorite deli.

Hubby was working 12 hour shifts and we'd hardly have time to do anything together.

Since the pandemic I became too afraid to do all that fun stuff, the freedom to go out and just enjoy life. Now, I go in to a store and rush out. It isn't the same.

I also like to watch Netflix. There is always something to watch.

Hope you find something to keep you busy and content. Hugs!

I watch Netflix a lot lately. Going to turn it on tonight.
 
I have alot of family ... all over Texas and no one calls me. I have to do the calling. It is hurtful but I just try not to think about it. The only one I can rely on when lonely is my sister Lucy. But even then... she's still employed and always sounds tired; so, I try not to call too often. I know how you feel, @Ruthanne .

I miss the friends that we made during our working days; when we stopped working ~ the friends we had made forgot about us. It was fun while it lasted. We'd always have some event to go to.

If I lived near you, I'd surely visit you.

By the way, I have one nephew and his family who live in a neighboring city (McAllen) whom I have not heard from during the worst of times, i.e. cancer, kidney failure, etc. Not one phone call.

Ok, even though I prefer right now to live alone with my little pets I get occasions where I feel lonely for some companionship, conversation, interacting. I want to talk to someone. Anyone else here feel that way now? 🐢 🐦 :D✌️🐸πŸ₯πŸ¦•πŸ πŸ¦’πŸ¦œπŸŒ·πŸŒΉπŸŒˆβ˜€οΈπŸŒŠ

Yeah, I'm lonely a lot and don't drive much at all anymore. Huzz is here sometimes gone sometimes, sometimes I'd like some female companionship but being out here in the boonies makes it hard. Luckily I've got him and our little dog and, last but not least this place!
