Well its been over a week since ive had surgery and been home. In that time ive seen my parents and sibling once for 20 minutes. Ive seen no one else, spoke to anyone or had any interaction with a human being. This has made me realise how alone i am and out of contact with people.

Does anyone else suffer from this plight?

No. Sometimes the opposite.

Cannot get rid of friends, colleagues, family.

Last year, Bubbles had surgery, felt rough.

Could we stop folks visiting? More chance of Finding Lord Lucan.

I'd say soak it in, learn to love solitude. Not so easy when it's not out of choice - are you feeling lonely or just alone? Do you have everything you need post-surgery?

Im sort of used to the solitude, but its at times when its forced upon you that it makes you realise how alone a person can be.

Hope you’re recovering from the surgery, I know you shouldn’t have to ask but have you told people you would like visitors? Xx

Been alone for four days by choice. Me gusta.

However after something like surgery I get where you are coming from so perhaps reach out to them. Tell them you are feeling a bit lonely and can they come see you? They probably think you need some peace

Use it as a bit of a wake up call - you need to get out and about and socialise more, or make contact with old friends again- they are often the best.

I get you. But that's something worth embracing, learning how to deal with it. Don't let it defeat you. Catch up on some reading. See how far back in the forum you can get.

Sadly ive been this way since 2014, i had a near fatal accident and was lucky to survive. My friends at the time never visited, phoned or even text to see how i was. As soon as i was well i cut them out of my life after giving so much of myself to them with support etc i didn't even get 5 minutes after the accident.

I do socialise and try but making friends seems beyond me at this time in my life and i cant understand why.

Under different circumstances, but Im in a very similar position.

I have family around me which is great, but you need more than just family interaction too.

Having no friends that you can go to is tough, it really is. It is also much much harder than people think to just make new friends, or at least friends on a close connection.

Not a good place to be in OP and can totally relate. Neither my family or friends live near by or for that fact within an hour of me. As a single mum I’ve had to learn to “love” the quiet evenings and weekends and the alone feeling

Give your family a text, ask them to pop round for a chat, they might think you just want quiet recovery time.

Wish you well and a speedy recovery

Hmm. Being alone is healthy as if you can’t stand your own company, how will others put up with you? However, being lonely is a completely other matter and not to be taken lightly. Take this time to decide which it is OP and when you’re better, if you have decided you’re lonely, it’s time to do things the old fashioned way and go out and make a new friend or two.

Realise how lucky I am, I never feel alone as I have a loving family and friends

Not saying that I don’t like my alone time but not always easy when you are a single Dad

I've got a lot of friends from all over but I can safely bet that if I had surgery or was crippled up for some reason I wouldn't see any of them until I was better. The week my dad died I got hundreds of well meaning messages and comments on facebook but three years down the line none of them have asked me if I'm coping ok with it since that first week. It's just the way it goes I guess.

Hope you feel better soon anyway!

are you able to get out of the house even just to a cafe for a coffee?

sometimes just being amongst others makes a difference

Some people crave human interaction some don't....I think if it's making you feel low Op it's time to take action, people won't know how you feel until you tell them.....I'm sure you're family would appreciate how you feel....try talking to them maybe? See what comes from that....more visits, trips out.....

Sometimes it helps but it is possible to feel all alone in a crowded place. I'm often that person.

Very good point, especially when you're in a low place. And easy to feel like a burden. It is possible though, a matter of making a change. Like others have said, waiting for other people to reach out won't help as they might think you would prefer being left.
