Tell you the truth, darlin’….I’m figuring it’s getting hot enough here that I should be brewing up a batch of iced tea for us all. <grin> Except for the Australians. If I recall correctly, when we start to get warm weather, that means it’s starting to get cold in Australia about now. Willow or Justin, do I have that right?

Dear Jason…. As Raffaele says….this is an unmoderated newgroup; there are no rules, and you don’t even have to bother reading what one person may think is appropriate. We have found that in most instances common sense and courtesy dictates what is best. Again…you are most welcome and I look forward to talking with you more. We can just talk….or we can cry….or laugh and have fun….depending on the circumstances. You’ll probably notice by reading some of the other messages, that we talk about most any subject you can think of. There are no limitations on the subject. Sometimes talking about a particular subject in which you are familiar helps to ease the loneliness……and that’s what this group is all about.

Hey Mike !! Moments ? What moments ?!! <laugh> I wish we had more people like you here with us…..and in the real world, too. If we did, then I believe there would be less loneliness.

Hi Jason…..and I’m very glad to see that you have decided to join us. Also….I love U2 !! One of my favorite groups !!! The lyrics of songs sometimes can say so much better and much more beautifully what I am thinking or feeling than I can. Sometimes I just post the lyrics to an entire song that seems to saying what I would want to say if I could write so well. Please don’t think the details of your life would be boring. Anything that concerns a friend is interesting and it helps us to know you better, too. So…..anytime you want to talk about "anything"….please don’t hesitate to do so. I’m sure you must already know that ASL is a special place and a very good refuge for those of us that need it. There are some very caring and sincere people here that make some of the finest friends you’ll ever know. So….welcome again….and I’m glad you are here with us and I hope you will stay as long as you feel this loneliness. We sometimes cry together….and laugh and have fun…and it’s always good to have someone else join in. Hugs and Smiles, Gina "It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone….

Wow, Dor !!! You’ve been through several traumatic experiences in a very short span of time….and based on what I’ve learned…I’d say your feelings are perfectly normal considering all you’ve been through. You’ve taken some pretty big giant steps, ya know. :-) I’m glad you’re here with us….and I hope you continue with those giant steps … moving forward, of course. It does always help me to get my "mind together" when I have friends to talk with about all that is going on in my life. Sometimes it seems the world just moves too fast for me. Anyway….just hang in there and stay with us….I believe you’ll find some excellent company and advice here….and I believe you will be able to provide some yourself.

Hmmmm… I’m wondering where to begin. My *current* battle with loneliness started June 1st, when I took the BIG step of moving into my own apartment, from my parents’ house. At that point, I was in a relationship with a wonderful woman, but by that time the feelings had changed, and we were acting like… (I hate to use the words, but…) just friends. Two weeks later, I started my first-ever job (in a bingo hall)… and a week after that, my relationship endedd (without many hurt feelings on either side). New living arrangements, new job, newly single… life would have been great, except for the fact that for the first time in my life, I was *alone*. Completely and inescapably. And now I’m here… Dor
Response:
Hello, Dor, Thanks for telling us a little more about your life… It does sound like many changes, all at once, and it does sound like they might be changes for the better… I understand that the breakup might not have been the easiest thing to go through, but at least it ended amicably… We have had discussions about the the difference in being lonely, and simply being alone… of course, you can be both, but you can simply be alone, and enjoying the solitude… or any combinations of the two, I suppose… Could it be the change of circumstances may just take some time to get used to, as it is natural to feel alone, and lonely, after so many changes… suddenly, you are by yourself, when before, there was always someone around… new environment, new people, new life… but I would hope you would rethink the "inescapably" part… give yourself time, feel your way around, explore the new possibilities, and perhaps before long, you will find that you are not alone as you first felt… In the meantime, feel welcome here, to drop in anytime you are feeling that loneliness, and perhaps in the companionship of the great people here, it will help to see you through these long lonely nights… I know I have not helped you, but I wanted to let you know that you had been heard… I am sure others here can give you much better advice, as I know I am not an "advice guy"… (smile) Take care, Dor… hope to hear more from you… sincerely, Michael "…Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings, and learn to fly…" Lennon and McCartney In article <7tjltu$e8…@cougar.golden.net>, polydora…@yahoo.com – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -("Polydorases") wrote: >gina…@aol.com (Gina) wrote: ><big snip> >> …Please do stay with us…tell us a little more >>about yourself….and know that you are among friends. >Hmmmm… I’m wondering where to begin. >My *current* battle with loneliness started June 1st, when I took the >BIG step of moving into my own apartment, from my parents’ house. >At that point, I was in a relationship with a wonderful woman, but by >that time the feelings had changed, and we were acting like… (I hate >to use the words, but…) just friends. >Two weeks later, I started my first-ever job (in a bingo hall)… and >a week after that, my relationship endedd (without many hurt feelings >on either side). >New living arrangements, new job, newly single… life would have been >great, except for the fact that for the first time in my life, I was >*alone*.

There is nothing wrong in channeling sentiments that way. Much many men do that than you may imagine, only not all will be open enough to confess it.

Hello, Dor, That is perhaps one of the worst forms of frustration, and grief… something that hurts us so deeply in our hearts, that we cannot change… as in the that most painful grief, of losing a loved one… So what more natural times to cry? And I do feel that it is also healing, somehow, to allow ourselves to cry, that it may somehow release some of the pain… for to hold it in, and deny our souls that release, can only be damaging, to our bodies, and to our souls… I wish you peace, Dor… I hope you will stay with us, and speak more from your heart, as you have done… sincerely, Michael "…Those who don’t know how to weep with their whole heart, don’t know how to laugh either…" Golda Meir In article <7teacc$ov…@cougar.golden.net>, polydora…@yahoo.com – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -("Polydorases") wrote: >Harvey wrote: >>Crying at night is OK if you male or female, young or old. >>It is the spirit grieving in you.

It’s not the crying that bothers me. It’s the crying over something that, while I know exactly what it is, there’s very little it seems I can do about it. Dor

Hi Dor….and welcome to ASL. It did take courage for you to come forth amidst all the chaos….but please rest assured that it is not "always" like this. Occasionally the trolls leave and we have reprieve. <smile> The "just friends syndrome", huh ? Yes…we have several here that will know exactly what you’re talking about…and I’m sure you’ll be hearing from them, too. This is a most excellent place to stay while you gather your thoughts together. Whether you need to talk…or laugh…or cry….you’ll find a friend always listening and always caring. I’m real sorry that you have to cry yourself to sleep at night. Please do stay with us…tell us a little more about yourself….and know that you are among friends. Smiles to my new friend….

Crying at night is OK if you male or female, young or old. It is the spirit grieving in you.

I’m a 21 year old white male, fluttering between agnosticism and ecclectic paganism, and suffering from what I’ve heard described as ‘just friends syndrome’. Of course, eventually the friendships fade, too… I don’t know what I’m looking for out of this group, exactly… perhaps just the opportunity to get to know others who understand why I occasionally still cry myself to sleep at night. In any case, it’s a pleasure to meet you all, though I’ll probably still be mostly in the shadows (because my job doesn’t permit me enough time to read Usenet very often) Dor P.S. Due to the current situation in this group, anyone sending me e-mail which seems to be asking me to take sides, one way or the other, will enter my killfile. No warnings.
