Most of my friends who are in their mid 30s to 50s are expresing some form of loneliness. I would like to help them, but observing myself I discover that I have the same feeling inspite of having a cute kid who always runs around me seking attention. Any ideas to make women feel alive?

Best Answer:

I'm not a woman, but I am a man who has been happily married to a wonderful, supportive wife for 11 years now. In spite of this, I do have feelings of lonliness. Part of this, I feel, is due to the fact that I have always had a male best friend but am lacking one now. Also, I have recently had some friends stop calling me, and that leads to insecurities and lonliness. The best way for me to deal with those feelings is to do volunteer work. I also look to see if I can help out older friends and family who might need help around the house or yard. Diverting my energy toward helping others rather than self-pity is the best cure for the blues for me. It might work for you too.

Answer:

greeting every day like it's something special....feeling alive...I think for me it's keeping in touch with myself, through meditation/prayer and having an interest that I can talk about with my significant other. I do work but I also have a lot of interests........I don't necessarily have the opportunity to follow up on all my interests but I am connected to the world outside of my home.
