Loneliness.
Loneliness is a familiar feeling to me. I feel it often. I can feel it even when I'm with someone or around other humans. Its a feeling of not fitting in or having much in common with the people around me. I don't like feeling lonely but can't help but feel that its the way its supposed to be for me. Are some people destined to spend their time on this planet alone? For what reason? I've had people who were close to me but only for short periods of time and then they were gone. Why am I thinking of such things? I think its because I'm feeling the loneliness very strong today. I hope this feeling passes soon because it makes me sad.

I am really sorry you are feeling so lonely today. If I could reach out and reassure you in person I would. I hope you can know that a lot of us struggle with loneliness. I live with a group of people and I still feel lonely. I imagine what having a close relationship might be like.. until then I have the friends here online and the few I have in person. I think part of illness is a difficulty with relationships - but I feel like at least we have this space here to talk to each other. You\'re a kind person Pagan.. and you deserve good things! Peace, Mark
i know exactly how you feel.... i feel that all the time even when im with people i know it feels like i don\'t belong.. especially at school now, i struggle with that.. but what took me along time to finally grasp is that im not.. i have you and everyone else on DS to help me.. and so do you.. we are all in this together..
(((Hugs))) P. I don\'t think your destiny is to be lonely. I beleive that everyone has a place in this world, whether you find it early on in life or later. I beleive everyone is here for one reason or another. Everything is temporary, I hope this feeling passes for you soon.
I think loneliness is one of the hardest feelings we have to deal with...we\'re social beings. I know DS isn\'t the same as RL company....but it helps. I hope this feeling has lifted for you, and it was short-lived. Big (((hugs))) for you!!
