2.5 Relationships: Loneliness of Singles
from The Same Boat · host Roy Kim
Roy Kim and Wilson Wang dive into a new series revolving around the topic of Relationships. In this episode, we talk about how lonely it can feel when we don't have significant relationships, whether they be romantic relationships or friendships. Some of our talking points: We get why people talk to toys or imaginary friends. Being extremely popular and extremely lonely at the same time. The loneliness of pastoring. Escaping from loneliness through games and porn. What happens if all your friends are married/dating or don't have time for you? The heartache of being an older single and there's no natural "group" for you at church. What if your hobbies don’t align with the majority of your church people? What are strategies to make friends as adults? Do married people do things that are off-putting to singles? Dating and marriage does not cure loneliness. As always, we hope that something you hear helps you feel like you're not alone, that there are others in the same boat as you.
