No, not really. hahaoccasionally i get lonely, im anti-social though so being alone most of the time keeps me quite happy. but the isolation gives me no one to talk to when i want to, so i have efriends!
i can tell them my deepest darkest thoughts, and then block them when i dont want to talk to them.
problem solved.
takes a unique person to live the way i do
Yeah I do get lonely sometimes. It used to be most of the time - but nobody would have guessed that about me - and I was too proud (maybe still am) to say anything about how I felt/feel. I'm a really active person, always busy trying something new or perfecting something or other..it's only when I lose perspective or direction that I become depressed or real achingly lonely. (maybe the odd suggestion of a hobby - or starting to volunteer at a shelter - my help to distract you
My family has to be the closest friends I have...I have found that friends come and go (and although I do have a friends to go out with - I dont confide in them) but my family remains - there (how lame can you get right?lol I don't really care).
You'll find that most people want to fit in - but they have that conflicting desire to remain unique, an individual but to simultaneously resemble everyone else. Sometimes these emotions can be ovewhelming (that desire to belong and to have friends like that chick flick 'Sisterhood of the travelling pants' - or something like that), and so you reject the people around to protect you from these feelings of isolation (an act which ironically intensifys those emotions).
In reality these people surrounding you are probably your friends, but you need to remember that almost everyone is focusing on what they want in life and what THEY are going through. Sure they may lend an ear every now and then, but then they return to their life. Thats just how most people are *shrug*.
Everyone struggles to find their path in life - some lucky people (successfully) surround themselves with friends through life - whilst other may only have one or two friends (one of them being their husband/wife/partner).
I have met people that appeared to fit in - had amost the whole school as friends, and yet they were most loneliest people. You just never know.
Hope that answers some question of yours Sorry about the long post (just in one of those pondering moods I guess).
Most of society is either depressed or lonely. why? because people dont know how to put their emotions/energy into good use.
Im not trying to attack you, but people who talk about how lonely they are dont realise how self-absorbed they are.
i find shyness like that really cute, the only problem is that people like you are rarely out anywhere so its hard to meet themthanks alot to all you people who message me and are there to support and is willing to lend an ear to hear about my problem. *hugs to all you people*
i dont want to sound like im whinging about my loneliness. i really want to hear about your problem as well, how you cope through your lonely time. after all i just realise that im not the only one who is feeling this. and what better way to share our problems than in a forum where no one know who you are and cant really judge you.
since im starting uni soon i hope to find new friends.... im also tryna find something to do, a hobby that will help me become less shy. i hate being shy, hate not being able to talk to someone because im too afraid to say anything. im tryna get rid of that shyness.
my new year resolution: to get rid of my shyness and talk!
i can relate to thisi have no idea where to put this thread but oh well.... hope it's alright here.
so the question is are you lonely? do u feel like you dont fit anywhere? or doesnt have a person where you can trust or someone to listen to you rant about stuff?
well, i do have friends but sometimes i feel like i dont belong there. sometimes i feel so left out or they just shut me out....it like a feeling of not wanting to be there.
i guess im just a lonely person who build a wall around herself and just go with the flow of life. i dont have a person who i can talk to cos maybe they dont bother listening to me or is not there when i needed them (for example: when my brother was in hospital and was near death no one was there to comfort me through my depression) i usually find myself shopping alone.
so is there anyone out there who is in a group but feel like they dont belong? or am i the only one? just share ur thoughts and feelings i guess.
