Hi @Aa1984 @Lisa84 @Aqua88 🙂
Thanks for the tag @tyme , you've quickly come to know I'm always open to chat if i'm online and available. 🥰
I can absolutely relate to the feeling of lonliness - sometimes due to being physically alone but also sometimes due to lack of connection to those physically around me.
Hopefully you will find some people here who you do connect with and can chat to - for support, for fun, for hobbies, etc. 🙂
What type of business did you run? (If you wish to share, never any pressure!)
Do you have any particular hobbies or interests?
I dont know much about motorbikes, other than they have 2 wheels and a motor and go "brooommm". 😉 ive been a passenger on a motorbike, although not since I was a teenager. I've fallen off one once, but only at low speed and without anything more than a minor graze (driver slipped on a coconut shell, I kid you not.)

Re: Help
Riding in the bush sounds nicer to me than riding around suburban or city streets. 🙂 hopefully quieter too?
What type of riding location or bike do you prefer @Aa1984 ? City or dirt

Hey @Aa1984 ,
It may be good to tag people in by typing "@" in front of their username so they get a notification. That way, you can get more people reading your posts to them.

Re: Help
I would prefer a road bike,city,riding for a coffee on a nice summer night..group rides and things like that,but safer on the dirt,as long as I stay away from the motocross tracks..lol,yeah bush is something different, get into the fresh air,the trees and scrub ,it's really nice,though I have not done it for 19 years,it's a nice memory

Hi @Lisa84 @Aa1984
Welcome to the forums. I hope reading chats here and interacting with people with lessen both of your feelings of loneliness. I think quite a few people here can relate to a feeling of loneliness.
I live by myself, and have done so for decades, and I moved towns when I was over 50yo, so I can relate to feeling of loneliness. I also just retired and had poured a lot of my time (like really a lot) into working, so now I no longer have that to distract me.
However as @tyme said, people can sometimes feel lonely when with people.
Tonight I am feeling like I will feel lonely on the weekend. I will be with a sport team in a state level competition, the team is made up of individuals from different clubs around the state. I just found out I have been given a lead role in the team, so I am worrying about that and think I will feel a bit different to rest of team and therefore a bit alone despite being in a team.
So, I think, many people feel lonely in many ways.
I hope being here can help alleviate both of your feelings of loneliness
