Just wondering what people find to be their loneliest time of the day?

I think I have now discovered that waking up in the morning is the loneliest time of the day for me. I use to think it was nighttime, but I don't think that’s true any more. It is most certainly waking up alone that is the hardest thing to deal with now.



Anyone else care to share?

This is a question to both single and non-single people.

night time. My husband is gone about 50% of the time at night. It is lonely, but then again it is serene at the same time.
 
As a rule, for me, it's the time after I put the kids to bed. Right now it's not so bad, but within a week or so, I'll be once again bored by 8pm until I go to bed. Then again, I've been known to crash as soon as the kids do. Oddly enough, I enjoy the morning hours before they get up much more.
 
The loneliest time for me is when I feel the need to have someone with me. I haven't felt that way in a very very long time. Close friends are always amazing...that and a warm heart.
 
It's about this time. Last hour at work. Noone left at the office, nothing much to do and noone on yahoo to chat with.

That is a very good point for sure...

I guess this is what I'm really feeling when I wake up in the morning. I miss the warm body for sure...

Any cure? Hugging a pillow is just not cutting it any more;)

Either first thing in the morning, waking up...finding its just you...or falling asleep when you are having a hard time. Not having anyone to snuggle with just makes things feel a lot more isolated an alone. :(

you get paid to chat here, i need your job!!:D
 
My loneliest time is certainly the hour I'm driving home
on every second sunday
when i had to bring back my lil princess to her mom's.
 
When I was single, it was anytime I was in my bed....it was when I would see couples holding hands or wrapped up in eachother.....it was when I cried, though I never really want anyone to know I cry....it was still a very "lonely' feeling.

Its the times I wanted to end my life.

As part of a couple, it's the moment he walks away to board the plane...and it never truly ends until I see him again. Its climbing back into my bed alone, and no amount of rolling around under the covers and inhaling his scent eases that ache. It's the times I pick up the phone, only to put it back down again and then pick it up again...the debate as to whether or not I should just let him work, or satisfy my need for him?

As a mother, it was before I became a mother. I literally ached to be a mother, to put an end to that emptiness inside that only motherhood can fulfill. As a mother, I know I will never be alone again.

As a time of day....I think its those first few moments after the kiddies are out the door after having stormed up my morning in my attempts to prepare them for school...only to be met with that deafening silence as I try to reconcile it with the mass destruction that their early morning has made of my home.:rolleyes: :)
When we clean, we clean alone.;)
 
i think it's because we work off shifts this week , don't see him a whole lot the rest of this week, sitting at home, bored stiff til i head off to work.......missing him....:(
 
if i'm not busy at work, or even at work it's he first few hours i'm awake, 8-11 est, no one is on, no one to talk to, just my crazy mind to talk to. lol
 
My worst time is when I am trying to fall asleep and I only have my mind to keep me company, sometimes I don't like where it takes me.
 
When I drop my daughter off at her mother's house and go back to mine, clean up and put all her toys ect.. in her room...I miss her so much that even tears do not give relief.. Its a wound that will never heal...but it does make me truly appreciate the time I have her...
 
i think i much more fall int the category of being a loner. even in crowds and stuff i always feel a little apart from everyone else and being "alone" doesn't really bother me but i usually feel lonely when i'm doing something i know would be more fun if i had someone else.

i feel it at the movies. always nice to have someone to lean over on.
 
Lately for me the time that is most lonely for me is around 7 pm. I know it sounds silly. But...it used to be a very happy time for me.

To be honest the cure for me was to find the warmth within. :)

wow, can I ever relate to the feelings you describe.

On a brighter note, as she grows older, her confidence in you always being there will give a casual air to your relationship. I find the most comfort when my kids take me for granted.....I know then they really believe I'll always be around
