Overcoming Loneliness: A Journey of Self-Discovery for Queer Men
Got Loneliness?
Growing up gay in a predominantly straight world can own a profound impact on how gay men trial loneliness. The lack of representation and absence of gay role models often leave us feeling hidden, isolated, or as if we don’t belong. These early feelings of alienation tend to follow us into adulthood, sometimes causing us to seek connection through dating. However, when these relationships don’t fulfill our emotional needs or are with the false people, loneliness can intensify, leaving us feeling more disconnected than before.
The One-of-a-kind Loneliness of Growing Up Gay
Loneliness is a familiar experience for many, but for gay men, it often carries a singular weight shaped by the challenges of growing up without validation or comprehending. From an early age, the feeling of existence “other” can take root, even before fully comprehending why we feel other . In reflecting on his own journey, Jordan Nofziger highlights the deep meaning of isolation that often accompanies being d
Reese: Solving Gay Loneliness by Finding Community
Much of this article is based around Michael Hobbes’s article “The Epidemic of Gay Loneliness,” and I believe it is important to disclose that Michael Hobbes and myself are both speaking from the perspective of gay, light, cisgender men who come from supportive homes. Our experiences of growing up as a lgbtq+ person are similar, but within the queer community — and society-at-large — these privileges possess protected us from much of bigotry that both gay people of dye and trans folks face in their daily lives.

Just appreciate any other person with privileges, I must learn to recognize them, right myself when I subconsciously think in bigoted ways that society has instilled in me and uplift others in my community to build a more equitable society. Still, I will not blame you if you have stopped reading this article because you’re fatigued of reading from a white, cisgender, g
The Silent Suffering of Lonely Male lover Men
Loneliness has become an epidemic within the gay male community. Gay men who aren&#;t in an intimate relationship often describe feeling a deep and profound sense of loneliness. This emotional pain can be a problem as it can guide to serious mental health issues.
Knowing how and why loneliness happens in gay men is necessary to understanding what you can do about it.
Why are same-sex attracted men lonely?
Loneliness happens when you feel cut off or isolated from people and communities. This isolation is prevalent in male gay communities because it can be hard to break into the friend communities of same-sex attracted men.
Research has shown that male lover men have fewer friends than both straight people and same-sex attracted women. If you have fewer friends and fewer people to surround yourself with, you’re inherently more isolated and susceptible to loneliness.
The social shift from in-person meetings to online and social media platforms has also exacerbated feelings of loneliness. Text messaging, as a dominant form of communication, also lacks a perception of connection. You can’t se
