Anyone lonely tonight?

[The Doctor]

I'm in a certain mood tonight. Anyone else lonely tonight?

Feeling lonely, wondering if I'll ever meet the right one for me.

Have yet to make any hardcore Christian friends in the Texas area (moved here in 06).

Just plain lonely...anyone feel the same?

[Nozomi]

In the Texas area? Well shoot, I should think there'd be plenty of christians in the biggest state of the lower 48! Jus' how hardcore you lookin' for?

In all honesty, I'm in the same spot as you though. Living in SoCal, and yes I have hardcore christian friends because of my the christian club on campus that I am involved in... but i've been with them for going on 5 full years, and none of them seem interested in anything resembling a relationship.

You're not alone, man.

[The Doctor]

That's good to hear. I'm trying to get connected down here now...just still going through loneliness ya know?

[mysngoeshere56]

Yeah. I feel that way every night. And day.

[ADXC]

Yeah, I always do. But Im used to being a alone, in fact I prefer it. Why? Hardly anyone I know actually would like to "hang" out with me and I just have seen no one pleasant to be around. That is except for my dad, he's great.

Although there come times when I would like someone to be around.

I'm a shut-myself-in-my-room-forever type. Sometimes I feel lonely, but then I remember what a hassle it is to talk to real people =D

[ADXC]

@ minakichan- So true! Also what adds into the mix is the fact that the people Ive known for more than 12 years in my class(Christian school BTW), haven't really matured. Instead I think they have become even more immature than they were before! Thank goodness this is my senior year and hopefully I won't see them ever again! But I do hope the best for them.

[Feebeefi]

I feel like that too. I have no anime friends who are christian and no christian friends who like anime (except all you wonderful people).

I'm also a shut-myself-in-my-room type as well which doesn't help either lol.

I do wonder if I'll ever meet "The One" but some of us just have to be patient and wait and see what God's plan is for us

[MoonRock Dragon]

I do feel lonely alot and it gets worse every evening at 6 pm when I get a attack of necrophobia so I feel ill and get sick.Sometime I think I was a mistake and should not have existed and maybe I was just put on this earth as a punching bag.

[goldenspines]

In all seriousness but to avoid the emo side of this, sure, I feel lonely quite a bit considering I live in one of the only states in the US where no other CAAers or christian anime fans live(that I know of, I am still looking. ^_^).
But, to echo what Feebeefi said, God has an awesome plan for each and every one of us, even if our circumstances seem hopeless. ^_^

[Sparrowhawk]

Yeah, I have been lonely ever since going to college. I had an a friend I will never replace, and a girlfriend who was a mature Christian looking for God's will. Obviously me and my best friend never see each other, and circumstances forced my gf (that I dated for three years) to go to a college 11 hours away from me, and she didn't think she could do the long distance thing so we agreed to stop seeing each other. Since then, no close friend, no gf.

At the same time, don't give up hope. If you look in the Bible, there are very few examples of close friends. David and Jonathan were, and Jesus and the Apostles, namely John, Peter, and James. Therefore I think close friends are not something you can force. You can't try hard enuf and automatically get one - though making one does require that. You have to wait till God puts someone else's and your paths together.

The good thing is, once you make a true close friend, they can be friends to stay. Me and my best friend stay in touch, and my ex gf (with a new bf) is now like a sister to me. I talk to both of them regularly. So I still feel lonely, when I have nobody to talk anywhere near as often as I would like, but at the same time, God has provided before, and I am sure he will provide again.

Hope this encourages you.

[Jemuel]

And remember, God's your best friend, too! (No matter how many times you forget/ignore/spurn him.)
Also, everyone tells me if you want a friend, you should be a friend. Don't know how well it works (I'm too lazy to leave my room :\ ) but I'll pass it on anyways. I pray this helps.

[ssj2gohan61]

yeah man i think we all feel lonely at times. where at in texas roughly are you...city wise? i live in new mexico... maybe were close?

[Scarecrow]

I don't know how you guys stay so positive or strong in Jesus. Do you like being a shut yourself in the room types? Just curious. I am but I loooathe it. I've thought about throwing my computer out and smashing it just so I wouldn't have it to run to ease boredom or suck life away and I would be FORCED to try to find a more creative way to spend my time alone. But someone else could use it and smashing a new $3000 dollar computer would get some people in my family quite upset. Giving it to them would just defeat the purpose... ya need to smash it to feel right. Plus sometimes randomly posting all your frustrations on the computer somewhere where people will probably never read or care can be a nice stress reliever too so maybe I'm glad I haven't smashed it yet.

[Sparrowhawk]

Um, I guess it depends what you mean we stay positive or strong in Jesus. I don't always feel like that. But I know Christ cares. How do I know? Well, the definition of faith is kind of the answer. I know that times I have thought Christ failed me, I just hadn't given him long enough to show his plan and saw I was foolish afterwards. I know he has been faithful to others, and what has he ever done to that should stop me from trusting him? I don't know how or why he is so perfect and good like he says he is. But everything he has claimed, he has backed up, so when I don't see it, I believe I will eventually.

[Gabriel 9.0]

Not the only one man, I get that feeling a lot. But God will give you the right lady, like I have faith he;ll do for me , even when meeting some that treat me wrong for no reason:/ XD.

Hang in there.

And I barely know anybody here in AZ, at least in my area that likes anime.

For everyone, from a longtime lonely man:

God's got your back. Just be patient. He knows we're all patient, and frankly there are times when I feel as though I could have a problem with loneliness. But when those times come along, I pray and ask for God's guidance and put it in his hands. Nearly everyday I do it, but when that happens, I feel much better knowing that it's all working.

A note for each of you on the coasts: If you're near the beach, go to the beach and listen on the wind. If you have a cliffside that's stable, go there and listen on the wind. You might find it soothing.

Ah yes excellent advice. If I could I'd sit in a place like that forever. Actually, if I didn't have a job I probably would... there'd be no point in leaving. I love the beach (especially at night and also during sunrise/sunset) and heights... or a even a remote lake in the mountains. Although... the bugs kind of ruin the mountains but the beach ^_^ Sigh... If I could I'd go live in a light house... up on a cliff and over the ocean. Sleep during the day, get up at sunset go to bed at sunrise, walk down the beach in the moonlight, sit on the cliff edge, lay in the sand... sigh... euphoria.
