Why does God allow loneliness to exist ?

[Kathryn]

I would call myself an extrovert, but I have gotten very comfortable with myself, if that makes sense. I am a little sad and a little lonely but overall, I am fine, but I know that can't last forever.

No, I don't think it will last forever. As they say on Christian radio "God has a plan for you."

I definitely believe in fate and that free will only goes so far. If I am meant to meet a man I will and if not I accept that as God's will.

Humans aren't animals.

Huh? Are you saying humans are plants, fungi, bacteria, or viruses? Minerals, perhaps? It frankly wouldn't matter, because the "type" of being humans are is pretty irrelevant to everything else I was saying.

Some people don't have friends or family or really anyone who cares about them and yet I'm supposed to believe that this has some grand scheme yeah I'm not buying that.

Maybe it's the person, not God.

 

[PureX]

or perhaps it is because they don't have anyone to interact with...
Friends and family cannot be ordered up like a burger.

But there are always people around. We just have to learn how to open up and converse with them. Some of them will be curious and willing. Some won't. But we won't know unless we're willing to try.

IMHO, when you truly accept Jesus into your heart you will never be lonely.

I know that but in a perfect world people could order a friend or sexual partner like buying things at a grocery store.

I believe that in Japan you can order a friend to keep you company and sexual partners are available in almost every country for a price. Inside Japan's booming rent-a-friend industry

But loneliness may be a modern problem. In primitive societies you never get the chance to be alone, unless you have been ostracized for some crime.

Why not try getting help? Seeking a therapist? Finding a real life group of like minded individuals?
This no one cares thing is a poison that perpetually feeds itself once you start and makes you less desirable as a friend and mate.

Yup. We've distanced ourselves further and further from our traditional support amd buy more and more into this silly nonsense we don't need others. The nuclear family is the least pro-family and the weakest family model our species has known.
