Lonely. Empty. Need love. Stress.

You are the Only person responsible for the quality of your life.

That's cold, being lonely is not something one can simply overcome on their own, being on their own is the cause of loneliness. Duh.

Y'know you're both right, right?

As for our lady friend here, get out. Meet people. Don't be afraid to initiate conversation with complete strangers (just be mindful of creeps), chances are they might be just as lonely as you are; and while you may not find love right away, it'll come. I promise.

agree chances need to be taken...fear is what stops people!

well once you leave the care of your parents/guardian/family and set out on your own the desire to have love is only natural. As does almost every human being on this planet. It's easy to fall into a mindset that demands you have beauty/wealth/power/wit to achieve love. So people fear approaching others due to the looming possibilities of stature/morality differences. Yet this issue is just as evident to those who already have an abundance in one or more of the following traits due to a similar fear of acceptance. It's hard for people to find thier first love, and sometimes harder to find someone to replace that first love. Although I don't know much on the later situation seeing as how I haven't found my first yet. It's important to never be afraid to simply introduce yourself, talk, and ask questions. Plus, don't hesitate out of an assumption that a new interest is taken or open simply through looks or position. Believe me, I already struggle with this issue myself almost every day.

What you need is a hobby, when I get lonely or have help I do hobbies mine are karate and other things that help you remove bad with good ideas. Like comedy! Haha its good to laugh

There are people who feel lonely even in a room full of jolly,freindly people!!!

I'm going to have to agree with newbiechick on this one, but still don't be afraid to try talk to someone the other person could possibly be equally shy

I think you are the only person that can find yourself love. Being lonely, you can be lonely and have your partner sitting right there beside you..so that tells you NEVER to settle. When you feel empty inside then you need to go out with your friends, do something and let your friends help you out of that empty feeling of your life.
Stress..only you can limit the stress you have in your life, everyone has stress. Stress can kill you if you let it. You need to figure out what is stressing you out and then get rid of it. If its your job, find a different type of job.
It is true, you hold the key to your life. You need to figure out what you want to do with your life and then run with it.
Good luck

Sometimes our loneliness and stresses are ours to control. Sometimes thing happen in our life to make us lonely and stressed. How you handle things makes all the difference.
