Chat rooms for the lonely?

[turnaround]

Is there any chat rooms or apps or anything? I'm so lonely it hurts. I'm scrolling and scrolling. I've looked at crisis ones, supportiv, irc, anonymous chat. Where's the spaces for us to talk?

I'm just so incredibly lonely. I need someone to talk to. To hear their stories, to have that connection. I'm desperate for it. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I know this sounds so desperate and meek but I'm so alone. I can't get out of my bed. I can't even make food. I've been in my bed with my cat since last night at 9pm. It's now 445.

When it gets dark I feel somewhat better. I had a few good days where I felt hopeful, where I had some drive. Where I wanted to push past these feelings of wanting to die. But I've been under the blankets with my eyes semi closed all day wishing someone, something, somehow I will die. I want this torture, this pain to just end.

I just want a chat room to sit in and be around other people who understand. I see the list of so many people who are online. Can't we all just talk to each other?

There is a chat. It is not currently available to everyone. It used to be available when you have posted more like you have done so far, but there has been a change to this lately. There is a chat room for the kind of discussions you are alluding to as well. Usually there are not too many members active there. Talking to each other through posting in threads we can relate to and then privately is more like it is done it seems.

Do you know of any off this site? I just want to be around a community. I find the endless refreshing is soul crushing. I just want to feel less alone.

Thank you so much for your reply. I wish I could access the chat you mentioned.

Hello Turnaround.

Before I splatter the page with words, I should introduce myself a bit. Im…aged…with a few years, male and doing my best to walk my own path with some bearing and dignity instead of a mad rush for the exit. I dont spook as much as saunter off at times, that doesnt mean Im not around.

Loneliness and loss have known me at times. A cat that doesnt feel well may climb in a persons lap, not so much for attention as much as a last ditch effort to feel better and warm. Not to say we are all animals, but we are. Everyone reaches out at some point. Some get really lucky, you got me today.

Oddly for me I have found the world itself lay out a warm rumble beckoning my thoughts. Looking at stars in the evening, or all the many varied forms of clouds, like God's play dough drifting across the sky. Winter is crisp and biting and is much like constant aquavelva to the face. The distractions help some. Dealing with the public at large is not a challenge of donning an illusion of happiness, it is not wanting to see their eyes. Not wanting them to see mine. Ive heard said eyes are the window to the soul, my own doesnt want to be seen so much. Aware of the true darkness, that clings like peanut butter to a dogs mouth, I try to remember a better time. So, I dont darken too many of those doors to the soul.

There may not be a person there physically but there is a sentient ball of plush fur. There are others that are lonely here, Ive no doubt many conversations are coming your way. Never know, a wave of loneliness could turnaround with the tide. Life, as cruel, loving, damning, and full of grace, is always fickle, much like a cat.

Offering a wave as I turn around and head off in to the woods again.

Thank you for responding and for your kind words. I've been refreshing for signs of life. I've been lying here with my cat and he's been my only friend. My confidante.

Your words are something that I appreciate.

We are alone in this world, but somehow we are on here.

I was looking on telegram for some sort of chat for us. Maybe we could all go on there?

There hasn't been anyone to message me. I know everyone is fighting their own battles but just wishing to talk to someone

Hello. I'm very lonely as well. Maybe we could create a discord server?

 

[turnaround]

I would like that! I don't know how to do that.

 

[XdragonsoulX]

Also looking for a home for the lonely souls

 

[turnaround]

There's an app for iPhone called anonymous chat and I created a room called Lonely. No one has joined it.

 

[lacustra]

I'm interested too. I've tried everything I could think of; discord, reddit, Facebook, even anonymous chat on Telegram. Nothing really works. I miss Omegle now. It was much easier to find someone to talk there.

 

[Invisible23]

I would be interested as well

 

[rory0606]

I'm interested too. I don't have an iphone.

 

[turnaround]

I'm interested too. I don't have an iphone.

I started a telegram channel, if anyone wants in dm me and maybe we can chat?

 

[thecreepycanadian]

I've just created a discord server (my first time doing that). Here is the link:

Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games

Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.

discord.gg

I don't know how active I will be on it. It's weird, I'm so lonely-- tonight I drove to an empty parking lot and cried in my car-- But I also fear socialising, because I'm a boring loser and worry people will see that.

 

[turnaround]

I went into the #general channel

 

[Jack_Nimble]

There is this that I've found interesting before.

AirTALK - Talk With Strangers | Voice Call With Strangers Online | Random Voice Chat

www.airtalk.live

Most people hang up within a few seconds. But it usually doesn't take that long to land on someone willing to have a ten to twenty conversation with ya.

I do really like that chat room for lonlies idea. I'm rather lonely myself. Sometimes I think it's my own doing idk. I often wish there were buildings in most cities for us to gather and meet in person. Maybe kinda like a bar without the alcohol. But a pool table, darts, maybe some card games and board games. Not just a place for friends to go have fun. But for lonlies without a friend. Where it's encouraged to interact with others you've never met. Share stories, whatever. Even if there was a fee to enter (would much rather there not be though). Oh how I wish such a place existed. If I were rich I'd build it!

I wish turnaround and everyone else the best! *Hugs

Caution.

Well been a little since last I nosed in here but seems the conversation has grown legs and moved on a bit. Looks like there are alot of respnses and brilliant ideas and effort happening. Always a tough thing to create a tribe.

Method of communication…in alot of ways that is pandoras box. People need to feel safe, have their space when they want it and participate at their time and in their time. Some will not say much and just gander awhile. There are alot of facets and moving at that. Women who may not feel safe, a recluse who wants to connect but may be shy or doubtful, some on their last legs still looking for lifes elusive connection before walking on with deaths grace. There are so many more past those.

Caution is a comfortable idea to a fox, we dont think it, it just comes naturally. Things come in slow waves most times, changing of the seasons, waiting for a turkey to be done, and at other times too fast, like an omelet with rocket boosters cooking to fast. Posting would be first with some instant messaging like what is here or the ones created. Could also try to post an inclusive all in one sticky for others to find it.

In the end though as with all technology and advances there is just too much to be missed with out a clear view, yeah…meeting in person. Now that is scary idea for another plethora of situations. I will take a moment as I smugly flick my eyebrows at being able to use the word plethora. Its days like these its a wonder I don't play scrabble, with myself…

Ive moments of direct focus when needed but rather a reclusive fellow myself. If there ever did exist a place to hang out and know the place/meeting was for lonely's would be worth a go. An option to maybe laugh with another soul, a chance meeting, sounds enticing. Im an old fellow though and I dont look particularly inviting, more disturbing is my voice, it is a deeper bellow and all in all I don't display half as beautiful as the fox picture, at heart I may be but not to those that first meet me.

Caution, the theme of it tried to run through. People even me, would need to feel, safe, invited, and welcome. Short words but a tall order. If a place does get built, please consider an outside covered area with a fireplace for the old foxes that might stop by.

Wave, still here, still looking back as I head outside for a bit. Never really gone yet, please say hello to all those new acquaintances and if by chance you find your soul a hundredth lighter, well thank you for being you turnaround, you have a cat to squish and replies to make.

 

[turnaround]

I think meeting in person would be the worst idea. It would negate the anonymity and the ability for most people on here to be able to be vulnerable and discuss their feelings or just be voyeurs and get that energy that way.

I feel a chat would and is a great idea based on anonymity, getting that direct response gives you some connection.

But agreed. Like most things they tend to take a life of their own. I just think we should all be able to chat openly, or just watch and get that energy, I think it's why most of us are here. Yes ctb and methods are a huge component but it's a community of people who want to be heard without being judged or censored for saying the truth.

I understand all of this. If you want to chat hit me up. All of what you just described fits me perfectly except for the cat. I have no pets.

the chat feature becomes available after around 30 posts or so or a bit more (i think thats what that number under your profile picture indicates)
theres a "general" room and a "recovery" section as well as a few others i think but ive never really used it personally

theres also a "make a friend" thread in both the off-topic and recovery sections of the forum & once u post enough to get access to that feature u can message someone on there or make a post introducing yourself to maybe get messages
i personally found this part a lot more useful cause idk how to butt in on a random group conversation with strangers & ive never really seen much insightful going on in the main chat rooms its just kind of mundane

(theres 2 versions one is " start private chat" and the other is "start conversation" and i think the first is what people usually do)

Wait, is there a post minimum to use chat? I thought I used to be able to see it and lately it's gone. Did that change?

 

[ra1nw3rldd]

yeah the minimum used to be like 10 posts or something originally then they raised it to 30 or so (?) so if you were somewhere in between that post number u would have lost access. i checked the recent threads when that happened and there were people complaining and explaining it but oh well i guess u know now

Ok, good to know, thank you!
