Hi Numenal,
I think you need to make friends with yourself first and then you won't feel as lonely. Self acceptance is key in feeling better, and leads to one opening up more.

There was a thread here not to long ago on sympathy seekers. I would stay away from that word, and use "moral support" instead. LOL

Actually, maybe you could find that thread, and read about it. Also, there are self help books on self acceptance. That is a start, and with hard work you will achieve your goal.

Take care
Tammy
