Is Anyone Else Out There All Alone This Thanksgiving Holiday???

AMEN!!!
Any hope of trading places with one of you lonely people. I don't drink, hate turkey and promise not to raid your refrigerator.

Hugs and thoughts out to you

nothing can make the sadness go away, but if it helps, if you were nearby I would be glad to have you over!

We have a 5000 sf warehouse loft space we're converting into an events location, and by this time next year we definitely will have a place to have you all over

We have been known for throwing big and eclectic parties and if anyone needs company, I am a ready ear

On second thought, put her back on the list.

Thank you

Thank you too

Oh! I left out that I have a wonderful family...
Aunt Jamie will give you all the hugs and kisses you could possibly want. And there's a lot to get your hands around there, if you know what I mean . Our Johnny is 10 and autistic. He's turned into a really great kid recently, once we got him potty trained. Tony, my younger brother still lives at home . I'm hoping our mom will bring her. Yes we still call him John. Dad won't come when Aunt Jamie is around. That's another story.
I haven't had a chance to be alone with my wife Betty in ages. Maybe I will take her with me. I also promise to keep her out of the refrigerator as well.

Oddly enough, I have a friend coming over, but normally I LOVE spending thanksgiving alone. I always cook myself a huge meal. Love the turkey and stuffing. And pumpkin, and I find it so relaxing to be on no one's schedule but my own. I cook when I'm hungry. Nap when I'm tired, have a beer and watch a movie. But I will enjoy the company of my friend as well.

Back at ya {{{{HUG}}}}}

Just me and my wife, separated from our children, mother in the hospital, dogs dead hit by a train, and its going to rain. Favorite country song anyone? No, the first two parts are true so I am missing my loved ones.

I am eating Thanksgiving dinner with my 80 year old best friend, my Mother.

Happy Thanksgiving one and all.:hui:

Same here...Separated from my family,all of them are two-faced and if i cant trust you ,i dont want to be around you.I make 6 pumpkin,2 strawberry pies and 2 pineapple upside down cakes and peanut butter brownies along with a ham and a turkey so my kinda wife and kid can take it to her moms and eat there. I`ll get some leftovers when they get back.Been like this for 6 years now. I lost my twin brother long time ago and my dad in jan. All of my real friends are either dead or in prison.I sit here every year drinkin and smokin myself retarded just enough to pass out and start all over again.I strugle to find out which is worse,being alone or being around people that make you wish you were alone.Hope you day is better than mine..I dont wish this on anyone...

I am :p man n kid went to his family for today. I have to work :( ahh. Such is life

It's now 5 a.m. where I live and I've just read all of the replies up to this point.

My heart breaks for those of you who have lost your spouse. Holidays can really break your heart when you don't have your companion with you. As so many people stated on here, the best thing we can do for ourselves is to search out those who have it worse than we do. Whether that is a homeless shelter that needs servers for meals or an old folks home where there may be someone that has no family to visit them any longer.

There will always be people who are suffering more than we are, even though it may not seem like it. But we still have LOVE in our hearts to give others at times like this and they need us desperately!

And if you are one of those people who have too MUCH family and they drive you crazy, see if you can find a spot to go to where you can view some place that takes your breath away and give you peace. If you don't have a place like that close by, then search for it on the computer. Find a video that has beautiful scenery and serene music that will calm your spirit from all of the dysfunction around you. You need to be by yourself and get back to 'you' and de-stress!

These holidays can be good or bad and like anything else, it's what we put into them that makes the difference!

I MUST say, that this thread gives me so much hope that there are still good, loving people here on GLP and it's not all gloom and doom and sarcasm and cynicism. I was beginning to think that love didn't exist on this site anymore.

THANK YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART for each and every one of you! Look up at the sky and smile and know that you are loved from very far away!

I feel for you ... the first holiday of any kind is so hard after losing a loved one!

We dont celebrate Thanksgiving here in Ireland but I know with Christmas coming up soon so many people will also be alone.

Great post OP, I will be around tomorrow (as its a normal day here)if anyone is alone and wants a chat!

My hugs and best wishes to you all for tomorrow ....

Take care

I have no family and I have no friends.

And when I say that I literally mean ZERO family or friends.

Only child, from a single parent household.

And I was never good at friend making. Maybe I had 1 my entire life and that was when I was like 7 or 8.

So, yeah I'm used to it. Been that way for a long while.

It's not too bad when you get used to it.

Iam so very sorry! I have an old boyfriend who is in the same situation as you. He was an only child and everyone in his family has passed on. He does choose to have friends though but has never been married or has any children.

I hope somehow you get through the holidays with at least one person that will brighten your days and give them happiness and hope for your future!

Biggest hugs....

The day is almost over here, but for alot of you who are on their own I know the day is only starting .. sending you los of hugs to get through the day, and thinking of you.

Sounds like they are just showing off and rubbing your face in it.
I'd go steal some nice shit...or rummage through their medicine cabinet...or put my feet on the couch...or "accidently" break something meaningful. This way they never invite me back, and I never have to go.
Yeah I'm passive aggressive...but it's fun....well fun for me.

Oh don't forget the room clearing "Jesus was an Extraterrestrial Alien"

What a tool! He expects you to be his maid, cook, and his hooker while he sits with his thumb up his ass playing video games. Does he think he's a pimp or is he just a grown up child.

A real man would have been right there with you, asking what he could do to help...how appreciative he was that you were helping him have this time with his family...how much he would miss you while you were at work...but he would plan something to make it up to you. But NO dear, you are not a bitch you live with a sociopath. I know because I did too once. They never change. Google it, so many people will relate the exact same experience you are going through. And get him the hell out of you life, you could throw a rock and hit three guys that are dying to treat you better.
