I feel like this often. ***sad face**

Learn the difference between being alone and being lonely.
Being alone can be a fine experience, loneliness is a state of mind you can learn to cope with it as basically it is just a phobia.

No friends at all is a better situation to be in than constantly tolerating the company of poor friends and users.

There’s definitely occasions when I feel alone. I’m in another country from my family. If I didn’t get out into the community and make some connections, I’d go mad.

I remember having that stray dog feeling years ago before I settled down. Being a stray dog had its advantages as well as its loneliness.

Things get better with time IMO.

Have you considered the Introverts group? A lot of friendly strays there.

How does a stray dog feel like? Are you talking about sense of isolation, societal rejection, loneliness? If so, what makes you think these are not common human traits?

We are all one, living together in a grand and mysterious world. Every second of conscious awareness is a miracle.

Why, of course ! "woof"
