Confusing

These things are confuing for us all. I want to believe those who can understand can help us. I feel some help sometimes but I feel more alone now than ever. Getting a hug from your computer screen is nice but when you are alone it is not the same as another human being expressing love. Is this all there is or I missing something?

Scurrie learning to weather being alone is just a good thing to do if you can swing it. Eventually, getting time to be alone can be a welcome thing and enjoyable.

Logically, we are never alone. There are 6 billion people on this planet.

Wanting to be loved is the biggest source of suffering in most people that I've ever met.

"Wanting to be loved is the biggest source of suffering in most people that I've ever met." Wow that is so true.

Yes, lonliness doesn't help anything. So often depression makes us isolate ourselves. It sucks. I wish I could give a suggestion that would provide you with a warm body to talk to but alas. It's up to you and it ain't easy. Just keep chipping away. Otherwise it only gets worse. So hard.

I know it is up to me. That is what is bad. I don't care about me enough to get me help.
