I can't hear that song without feeling very lonely, even if the room were filled with dozens of people.
No, not lonely at all.
I find people very interesting - fascinating, in fact - and generally get on well with nearly everyone, and am able to share a laugh, a drink and a meal with almost anyone. But I don't really find myself getting truly emotionally interested in others. There have a been a few times I thought I might be but in hindsight I was just trying to fool myself because that's what social convention asked of me. My only regret is that I unconsciously lied to others that I really cared about them, when I didn't, really. I don't want to hurt others, and I know I have done at various times because of that pretence. I wouldn't repeat that mistake nowadays, because I understand myself much better now.
I just don't operate on that level; I don't divest enough of myself to care much about others. Frankly, I like myself like that. People are interesting, and I'm usually good at reading others, engaging them and getting on with them. And I'm a benign presence in their lives, being generally friendly, polite and a good conversationalist on a range of subjects when I choose to be. But real intense emotional depth of an interpersonal connection - I don't have that. So in its absence, I don't get lonely because I never miss it. I can see it in others, understand it intellectually but don't feel a need for it.
If I find myself missing the more casual degree of human contact that I do want/need, I can go get that very easily.

Or a bottle of Jack Daniel’s.

I am "lonely" in the sense that the Atlantic Ocean is "a bit damp".
In other words: VERY.
And I'm 40 years old. And still lonely. How pathetic is THAT?
Try 49 years Dude.
But to answer the thread title's question. Indeed I am. My girlfriend of 3.5 years recenly (about 6 weeks ago) decided she didn't want to be my girlfriend anymore. Being 49, overweight, and starting over from scratch once again is a . . . daunting task. (Which probably led to my "Learning the guitar/midlife crisis" thread.

Why would you say that.
I knew of a freind who thought she would never find the love of her life.
She was just not interested in some of the men she met when she was younger she found them boring also if you show a negetive vibe a person will see you are not interested.
She found the man of her dreams when she was 26 now she is married with 4 kids.
Like l said before you dont know what the future holds.
Mr Sloan l love the music you put on the thread it is so sweet.

That is really sad when you say it doesnt hold true for everyone.
Why do you feel like that
Has it happened to you in the past.

Regardless of what has or has not happened to me personally, I simply don't like it when people say that something will happen with absolute certainty, as if it's all a matter of course. It isn't. Not even close. Everyone is different and what happens to some will not, and should not be expected to, happen to others. Not a groundbreaking concept, I know, but I've been hearing a lot of things lately that make me think a number of people I know should be reacquainted with it.

But if you have such a negative way people will see it and stay right away.
I have seen it happen
if you show saddness alot of people will stay away because they dont know how to deal with that person and sitation
I feel if we see people like that or they are different to what they used to be you should see what is happening for them to be like this.
I say that there is a certain amount of people who will be on there own but you dont have to be like that
Poeple can join clubs sports reading groups ect and meet people that way.
You can also try online dating and poeple can find true love and l have read in some mags that that can happen but you have to be careful and get to know the person or you will be taken for a ride
i have read a few true storys of ths happening
