Poll: Are you alone?

[TheRightToArmBears]

I sometimes feel like it, but really I'm not. Because of my condition, no one I know really understands (that sounds so utterly cliched it hurts).

 

[KazNecro]

Loneliness has its benefits, I think. The main thing is that it allows you to learn to like and be comfortable with yourself. Once you get past that, then you can truly value and appreciate the friends/family you have.

I do feel like that every night, it's really weird. Never during the day though.

I used to think this until I realised I was wrong and being angsty (not saying you're being angsty, just describing myself) and when I began to open up to people my life really became a LOT better. I still hold things back like most people, but (can't believe im about to say this) you really do have to just be yourself and you will find people who you get on great with. Just maybe have to measure how much of yourself you put out there

oh, it isn't that. i'd be happy to open up to people about a few of those things, but there are some real issues behind it.

the problem is that although i would be ok with talking about it here, where i have a level of anonymity, if i tried talking about it in real life people would try to stop me doing things that i have all planned out.

for example, i don't plan on living to be older then 40. here, people seem mostly accepting of that (at least where i have mentioned it before), but if you tried to tell someone that in real life then they would be utterly horrified.

Weirdly enough, I think life ends at 40. I tihnk ocne you're older than that there's basially nothing else you can do that you couldnt do before when it was better.

I even brought that up with some of my mates and some either or agreed or disagreed, was fun to talk about though heh but I see what you mean about the rest

life doesn't end at 40 that's just stupid and ridiculous.

Not for me.
It's not like it's some self desruction/angst path I'm carving for myself it's how I feel and I'm fine and happy with it. I just don't see what else there is to do, unless you have a family with kids, then it's more like 50-60

I think what they mean is nothing novel is going to happen to you that isn't happening to everyone. Basically, your life has played out.

 

[The_Prophet]

Yeah, but I don't mind. You get used to it after a while and it doesn't bother you anymore.

okay well clocks ticking then. i wouldn't be wasting my time on the internet if i was you.

Exactly, that way I can squeeze as much living into my life as possible without regrets

 

[feather240]

Forgot to put OT, huh. I feel alone sometimes. Like right now. I'm sick and alone in my room.

 

[vamp rocks]

uhhh... i have quite a few friends and i dont mind my family.... but i feel really lonely... i really want to get into a relationship but its hard seeing as its impossibly hard to find other gay people under 18...

lol to answer how to get over it... i dunno... i usually just smoke sum weed.... but thats not for everyone lol

 

[Haunted Serenity]

I live with my in-laws....enough said

 

[latenightapplepie]

Sadly, I have the tendancy to often be annoyed around people, strongly desiring to be alone. And yet my solitude is frequently unsatisfying, not producing the contement I expect.

I am a tragic case.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Kinda.
It sucks.
But I get anxious around people I dunno very well.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

I wish I had a cute gf, but no such luck :O

its a big world there is so much to learn and do. that being said its a little stupid to think that after only 40 years you cant find some new adventure. i only wish i had more time so i could do and learn about more of the things that i am interested in. also the world is constantly in flux, constantly changing each day holds some new happening. so if your bored when your 40 its not because there isnt new things to do or see its because your a boring person.

I agree with you, but I wasn't sure if we understood how he is feeling.
