I wish that everyone that feels lonely or has no friends and stuff (like me) can all just meet up and be each others friends!

[yogaqueen]

I felt this call. 39. No friends. No close family. No partner. Just me and my dog. It sucks. It's hard. I am terribly depressed and at my age it's hard to make friends.

[samanthap.]

When she said 9 years, I burst into tears. I can’t even fathom her pain. I’m so sorry Willow.

[Sevenpuddingsx]

Shes so brave for reaching out to someone instead of thinking she has to keep it all to herself. I wish i could find that bravery. Good job Willow and i wish you the best

I'm sitting at a garage eating my lunch a retired nurse just doing a shift to day.
My heart is heavy, I'm 67 single, few friends no close family, I isolate in my flat and it's bin 19 years since I got a hug. A lot of people are horrible loneliness just sucks.

[jojoberrypie]

She was a scapegoat in a big family of non accountability. It’s hard to be that, very hard.

[allissa]

Willow; you ARE NOT alone! I'm 30 years old and can relate to this DEEPLY; EXACTLY!

[chadhapps]

I went two years without a hug or contact and it was torturous, my heart goes out to this young lady.

[rl]

Interestingly I am a 33 yo Asian male, different gender, different race, different language, different part of the world, and I feel exactly the same as you.
Human is amazing isn't it? Let's face our fear together

[kellenproctor]

Please please please if anyone is struggling with what she’s struggling with, and it isn’t absolutely necessary DO NOT WORK FROM HOME.
Working in person forces you to at least see real people on a regular basis. Please trust me❤❤

[AlmostHomeChannel]

This is heartbreaking. Willow if you see this, I pray you find healing and remember that you are so worthy and loved! You sound like someone people would love to befriend. I just hope you can start believing that, soon 💛

[Agaettis]

I'm crying...sitting here sobbing wishing i could be willows friend and show her she's worthy

[salonsavy]

Willow, I’m 59 years old, , I’ve been alone for years, I ended toxic friendships, quit drinking alcohol, quit a job of 40 years, , and raised my 20 year old son alone, ,I struggle emotionally every day, , the rumination I experience is debilitating, , but I pray to God daily, and I trust in him !

[BBL_Fam]

This is the first caller on your show that made me cry, and she has no idea. Like you, Dr. John, I’m sending her a hug.

[Kristen-ekrz]

I love how Dr. Delony was so gentle, kind, and hopeful with Willow. I feel hopeful for Willow's future.

[redhood]

The sad part is, people like this often attract those type of people who would take advantage of them. The User doesn't want to be around people with self confidence and self worth because they will deny them, but the desperate lonely tortured soul will let them in and allow them to do whatever they want with little to no consequence. Good luck Lady, and I hope you can find some decent people, and avoid the users and abusers

[Pheonix]

Mother Teresa of Calcutta said “In Calcutta, people are starving for a piece of bread. In America, people are starving for love.” when she was speaking about the epidemic of loneliness in the western world. Willow’s call helped millions of lonely people today. Humans are not islands unto themselves. We need one another. We are social beings. Reach out to one another and give someone a hug who needs it.

[BREEZYM]

I feel bad for her. I hope she finds the healing, love, and comfort that she deserves.

[TreadLightlyIBite]

I absolutely adore the way that Dr. John comforts her right out of the gate on this call… It made me almost tear up to hear how defeated her voice sounded ❤

[troisquarts]

Dr. D getting to the real heart of the matter: "that story you tell keeps you safe." Way too many orifices immediately jump to listing off ways to meet people or act more sociable without figuring out why a person doesn't feel safe being close to people.
