Can anyone give me a good reason to continue with life?

I used to think that life would be exciting and full of adventure. But now, I am completely disillusioned. I have few friends ( no close ones ), and worst of all, no lover. What's the use when you are so alone?

Answers:
I'm in my forties and have never been married even though I am considered very attractive, so go figure! Yeah, life is disappointing but I think just about everyone walking on this space rock would say the same thing, even the very wealthy. The answer is to realize that your purpose is to have a personal relationship with God who will guide you and give you so much wisdom and love. One tidbit of wisdom I have been given is to realize that disappointments are a fact of life but discouragement is a CHOICE. Maybe you don't have the strength in you to stop being discouraged but God will give you that strength without any effort on your part. I have asked Him for strength almost everyday since becoming a Christian 27 years ago and it always blows me away how I can suddenly feel so different just because I prayed for that strength.
I'll be praying for you bud. Hang in there. Love, Dianne

go out and have fun. meet new people. dont sit at home doing nothing, go live your life to the fullest!
Life is a beautiful gift from God who created us in HIS own image. We have no authority to take it away from ourselves or someone's life. Yes, friends and lovers sometimes ditch us, hence our best Friend and Lover could be God Himself since HE never ditches us.
right now you are hitting a bump in the road. things will get better. try to go out more and meet new people. just have fun.
Just remember, the Hitchhicker's guide to the galaxy

1. before you die, think how life has been good to you all these years.

2. if not (this applies to you) be thankful that life will not be around to bother you any more
Everybody gets those days, you sound like a very caring person, don't give up tomorrow's a new day, and believe me you will find somebody soon , get out there and mingle, it going to happen...
That's what I've been thinking for years, and I've discovered what I can do to take away any thought of suicide: Learning Html. If you want to learn, add me on your MSN buddy list: sonic_knx@hotmail.com
get a hobby i don't have any Friends either so i do crafts play with my computer and stay away from people
Just because you don't have many close friends right now, doesn't mean you never will. Being alone can make you stronger, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Don't give up!
If you kill yourself, you will never know if you were going to meet that special someone someday? Don't you believe that it just hasn't happened yet. Come on, instead of taking the easy way out, why don't you get off that pity pot and get to a doctor who might be able to help you with some medication?! The answer is not suicide.
You're stupid. You're probably some 29 year old guy that sits at home all day when he's not at his boring job. Get a girlfriend.
Listen. EVERY life is important. And, everybody goes through alot of bad s h i t as they go. In time, things will change for you, and one day, you will come to realize what your purpose is in this life. Giving up and committing suicide is a cowardly, lazy way out. Once you do it, there's no turning back, and you'll never know what your future held for you. You have to learn to love yourself. I only have a very few of what I would even call friends. Some of us were meant to be loners. It took me 50 years to realize that, and my life is still worth living. Yours is, too!
Do you go out looking for new friends and a lover? Dont just sit home go and try to meet new people.
I could give you about a million. Life is what you make of it..you have to stop sitting around waiting for things to come to you.
And don't worry about being single.it's those times in life you can learn about yourself, and what you really want, which will make you a better lover in the future.
Think of sunsets, sunrises for that matter.the color change in the fall..the way the ocean breaks on a wave.
Cheer up Charlie..things will improve.just give them a chance.
yea go to a childrens hospital and look at those kids who want to LIVE more then anything and then take your selfish *** home and think about it..
Oh, boo hoo hoo,, ohhhhhhhh woe is me ooohhhhhhhhhhh,whats the use, oooohhhhhhhhhhh
I felt just like you a few years ago, and i can assure faith is the only cure. i just mean you should ask god for some friends, and someone who loves you. it may sound silly, but it worked for me, i used to be bullyed by everyone and now i have lots of friends and an awesome girl. have faith and keep on, there is always someone like you, it just may take a while to find him/her
The experienced we encounter every single minute - the thing is that you don't notice them - just look out side the window - you will see a whole new world - a reason to live for !
sorry, no.
Listen. First, stop feeling bad for yourself. We have all felt lonely, we have all felt hopeless.

A man I graduated with just took his life one week ago tomorrow. He wasn't the greatest person in the world but it had a great effect on many people. I literally spent the day on the phone consoling friends as they learned of the news. You may feel alone but you have had an effect on more people than you know.
Don't live your life for friends or a lover live your life for YOU!
Get involved in things where you will meet people. volunteer and be selfless, go to a soup kitchen and help serve lunch on Saturday. Help organize a charity event or a cancer walk, visit people in a nursing home. Do not be selfish and take your own life. Doing these things will make you feel like a productive part of society and will make you feel important again. Because you are important. Along the way you may make some friends too.

Contact the suicide hotline also.

You are much more important and necessary in the world than you can comprehend, and someone, some where is thinking of you right now.

Be Strong.
My brother committed suicide 20 years ago at the age of 21. I think of all the things he's missed, the people he never got to meet, and it just makes me so sad. My parents never recovered from his death and my Mother still goes thru bouts of depression over him.

All I can say to you is this -- please think of your family and contact them. Let them know how you feel and ask them for help. I only wish my Brother had done the same.
Don't fill your mind with false pretenses about what life should be like. Life is it's own purpose, and that is it's only purpose. Everything else we come up with is merely extracted from that in a quest for enjoyment which is very often misled because we are led far from the truth by significant people around us.

Be.

Try this. Look at something that you glance at every day of your life, but this time study it very carefully and see some quality about it that you had not ever noticed before. Think about what its "purpose" might be. You could do it with a person or an object. You could even do it with a plain old rock. Yes, think about how that rock has been around for millions if not hundreds of millions of years, unchanged. Inspire yourself in the simplicity.
My best friend just killed herself this June. She said she couldn't take the pain anymore. She was 34. Last night I was sitting on my front step and thinking about her, and all the things that she's missed in a measley 2 months; I couldn't even begin to imagine what she will be missing in say, the next 20 years. I don't profess to have the most exciting life- in fact, it's pretty gd dull. But that one blue sky, breezy day; that one whiff of a favorite perfume; that one early evening watching those sparrows hop about by my front step; those are the little things that make life worthwhile.
Yes. I can. The way life works is this: we are all interconnected in a way. We all have a God-given purpose to live out here in this life. We, very often, are unable to see the effects we have on our fellow man (and woman), but we all are inter-dependent upon each other. Yes, you are alone now and suffering. But, God will find a way to turn things around for you. You just need to be patient. One reason He would allow you to go through such aloneness is to teach you not to take others for granted. One thing I've found works for me is to try to find a need and fill it. Get the focus off of myself and place it more on my friends and co-workers around me, and I feel better in just a little while. Pray to God to help you and He will. After all, He made you, knows ALL about you, and knows EXACTLY what you need before you even ask it. Ask for His will in your life and watch what happens. It may not be everything you ever wanted, but it will be everything you ever needed.! The promise of a new day awaits your company. Don't let us down. Please.
when i start feelin like that, to talk myself up so to speak, i start w/ this is just one point in my life and it sucks right now, but it will get better. and it does! my life has 360'd since last yr. I was a mess, my marriage was in tatters i still had tons of babyweight to lose, my sex life was nil. how lonely ur right now is how lonely i was last yr and i had a husband! Now my confidence is back, my marriage better than ever, i'm thin again, and have the greatest sex life ever! But i had to work on that it didnt just happen! So buck up! Realize its not always gonna be like this and plan something to get u going again, try yahoo personals, i wish u the best!!
Don't let that stop you from living your life. You may not have a lover or close friends,but that's doesn't mean that you're going to be alone forever.
You were right to think that life is exciting and full of adventure. You know why? Life is an adventure! whatever you maybe going through right now is an adventure.
It may not be exciting but one way or the other you'll learn something from it.
Don't stress too much about it, sooner or later you'll get what you want from life. Just remember that life is full of wonders, the more you wonder, the more answers you get.

Best of lucks!
You probably suffer from severe depression. I went thru that situation.You really need to get help, find out what makes you feel this way. There is help, some medication for a short time only, some good conversation with specialists and as soon as you get up your selfesteem, you'll feel much better. Don't give up on yourself. I don't know how old you are, because certain ages bring certain emotional problems everyone has to go thru. Some can deal with it better than others. Do something to socialize with other people. Take some classes of your interest and you will find people with the same intersts and you will find friends. I found out that life is worth living when I worked with the elderly. I managed a assisted living home, helping old people to enjoy the last years of their lifes. They told me what makes life worth living. Life has a totally different meaning for me since. I enjoy every day as it comes.. Don't look back and don't worry what tomorrow brings. Just today is important If you make another person happy every day you will be happy too. Nothing is more satisfying then to see a persom smiling because you made them happy. You accomplished something. You are worth it, you are a wonderful person. You will feel good about yourself and you want to live.
I guess we are to assume you also have no living parents or siblings? If that is true, then now is the perfect time for you to be available for SOME ONE ELSE to be cheered up. You are in that perfect position to go to the local children's hospital and visit those kids who are very bored sitting all day *(time just goes very slowly for those little guys) And some of them have cancer and have to be there, but their minds are needing someone to talk to.

Also, I had a grandfather in a senior citizen home, and I was amazed at the lonely people in there. I happen to be a talker, so I always say hi to people. WELL those people in there just LOVE to be talked to or read to or BOARD GAMES PLAYED WITH.

Gosh, right now you have so much to do! That would be so awesome!

I guess I have never been the type of person that was consumed with "needing" to be filled with adventure. But if you really feel the need for excitement and adventure, then I would consider how many people are out there just waiting for your visit, honestly.

Maybe try not to be so self indulging and try some of those ideas to settle the lonliness.
Just remember that you never know what tomorrow is going to bring, try and find things that make your life happy, whatever it is--you will find what it is your looking for, don't ever give up.
Suck it up, if you honestly have nothing to live for, how about changing your life drasticly to make yourself happy. If you want friends go MAKE some! Dont just sit around bitching about life, do somthing about it!!
