    • Who would want to talk to anyone with a bag over their head??

    "Talking" on the internet when you're lonely is dangerous - even on a Catholic Forum.  No one knows you to begin with & then to top it off you post anonomyously!!

    Tell you what ---  you get off this computer, get dressed, open the door & step outside to the REAL WORLD.  Then go to an animal shelter to help with the animals, or check in at a school to help with recess or noon duty or go check in at a nursing home to meet & greet a few people there.  ( all with the permission of the authorities of course) or any number of other things to your liking.

    After a few days of that, then come back here & we'll talk all you want.  Also we'll have something to talk about.  Right now I have no clue.

    • FYI, I haven't posted in this thread, but I know what it is to be lonely.

    It was actually starting to chat with people on the internet that helped me to break my isolation and start going to traditional mass.  And it has been friends on the internet, (not from here, and not Catholics, alas) who helped me the most when I was in a very dark place.

    It's a wonderful thing to feel accepted, but it's also an illusory thing, more often than not.  It's possible to be a "lone wolf" - and to live like that.  It's not easy.  More and more today people are isolated and their friendships are often shallow and false.

    The breakdown in community is part of that.

    To overcome loneliness one must be patient and find the right environment.  And then, be extremely cautious, so as not to allow bad people to abuse your confidence.  Because every social circle that can alleviate loneliness is competitive to some degree.  And the people at the center of those circles are often nasty and jealous of their position.

    • If our lonely guest is so fragile that not wanting to step outside his door for fear of meeting up with an enemy, then he should REALLY get off the internet or even be institutionalized.  

    "making friends, even if they're not identifiable"??!   Are you for real?

    I still insist that our lonely guest take the bag off his head & call himself ABC or 123, or something, to at least distinguish himself from all the other anonymous  posters before we can begin any meaningful conversation.

    No wonder the poor thing is lonely.  He needs to GIVE a little.  He might be pleasantly surprised.

    Lonely Guest - will you at least take the bag off & at least go for a walk in the park?  Just do that & we'll talk.  OK?  God Bless.

    What a despicable statement.  Someone is lonely, they wish to confess to being lonely, but don't want to post a username.  And according to you, they should be institutionalized.  Really it's very sad how quick Catholics are to call other Catholics mentally ill.  It's extremely common among trads who belong to various cults, it's their favorite smear.  It's very convenient for priests to use that smear.  It sounds less self-righteous than condemning a sinner.

    • We're dealing with someone here who essentially equates online chat rooms as a dating scene. We don't even know if this fellow is Catholic. Back to your romance novels little fellow.

    No one has done that.

    And that is relevant to what?  The tendency of people like you to smear other people?

    Focus, Tele, focus. Its relevant to what you said; that he was a Catholic. Why do you try to twist every single thing you respond to?

    And you're suggesting he isn't.  If assumed he is it's because it's a Catholic forum.  You have a problem with honesty, like most people of your ethnicity.

    Catholics are never lonely?  

    Like I said, this is extremely self-righteous and unbecoming conduct.

    I don't doubt the very people attacking this guest are the sort of people who would give him the cold shoulder if they met him.
