Nowadays I don't understand how people who go to online forums like this one can possibly be lonely.  You are surrounded by people, most of whom are willing to talk to you, assuming you don't act like an ass.

Conversation may not be enough when a lonely pole is involved.

I feel that that is a separate issue.

If you are horny, you can either masturbate or hire a hooker.  But you shouldn't feel lonely when you have a community like this.

Fair enough, but not all people share group mentality.
I think a part of me has felt alone my entire life, regardless of how many people are around me. Conversations tend to make this sense of being alone stronger, rather than alleviate it. I love people but I don't relate to them in general.

If that's the case, then you would probably still feel lonely even if you had a girlfriend.

Indeed.

I have no interest in relationships or sex.
I'm also a grandfather and most of my kids are adults.
My youngest is 14.

I feel there's a difference between chatting on an online forum and talking to someone in person.

Last night I sat on my couch watching a show and suddenly I started missing watching a show with someone else just sitting next to me. Not even talking to each other, just sitting there to enjoy a movie together.

A great thing about having people around is the immediate response when you say something. They can probably also relate way better to what you try to convey, since they share your space, see what you see, etc.

Don't get me wrong the shroomery is a great place, but it can't replace real time or real life interactions.

Interacting with anonymous people through a screen doesn't replace real intimacy or companionship.
Tends to make people who are already feeling lonely feel worse when you tell them they should not be lonely because of a website with anonymous people they can possibly create a connection with.

Interaction on here may reduce loneliness for some, not all. Bravo for those who achieve that. IF not, there are links below with options of other things people can do.

Part of me will always feel lonely. I'm surrounded by people I love and love me in return, yet the loneliness only goes away briefly when I'm distracted. Intimacy helps with the loneliness and that is not always easily accessible to everyone. As the years go on, I have come to accept it as a perpetual part of me. In my final years the loneliness may be the greatest I'll ever experience.

I really enjoy my own company, so as long as I'm around I don't feel lonely.
