    Well, things aren't that bad for me at the moment. Actually, they are going quite well. But I am feeling stressed lately. And I'm not getting a lot of affection in my life. I have a cat who loves me, which is great. But I'm not getting a lot of human contact. I do my hours at work, come home, then have nobody to tell about my day. No boyfriend to snuggle up to. I am close to my parents, but we're not a huggy kissy family. I'm not sure who I can turn to for a bit of comfort.

    What have you done so far, or what could you do to try to change things Dave? Although things are going quite well for you, you also mention feeling stressed and I wonder if that's entirely related to being on your own. Is there anything specific that is bothering you?

    (*hug*) Boom! There ya go. :icon_bigg You should consider going to a massage therapist, it won't be a hug but may help with the stress and human contact issue.

    try meetup.com or dating apps that you can set to find a friend.. you gotta get out there to meet people in order to meet people, unfortunately. It's easier said than done I know :/

    in the meantime, here are some hugs!!!

    Well, I know what you're feeling. Sometimes I start crying for not having anyone to hug and kiss, then I end up hugging my pillow. I feel lonely. I want to get a boyfriend but this would cause problems with my family and I can't deal with this for now. I would like to go where you are and hug you and ask how was your day but all I can do for now is give you this emoji: (*hug*).

    I hope you find someone to stay with you.

    Lots of love,
    - lonelyjamie

    Oooh lots of hugs! Thank you very much!

    My moods have been up and down lately, it's crazy, and I think part of why it's bothering me is because I don't have somebody I can "escape" to. i end up being left to my own thoughts, and that gets a bit lonely.
