On the Outside,wondering what its like on the inside.

[TiredofbeingLonely]

I've been on the outside my entire life. I've often wondered,whats it like in there,to be accepted by your peers? How does it feel to be talked about in more than just a negative way? I once got a taste when my feelings propelled me into a friendship. It was amazing. I felt welcomed,comforted,safe even. But it didn't last long. Now I sit here thinking,wondering,whats it like in there? I also ask myself,Why do they lock me out here? The way I act? The way I look? The reputation I've gained(Thats haunted me for years)? All I really want is someone who understands,to talk to,to spend time with. But the area I live in has not provided someone so deep. Woe is me. Woe is me.

I'm right there with ya bud :/ Although there is never a solution which can fill the space of social interaction, over time you learn to fill the void by different outlets, in my case by finding VT.

I was blessed to have had a friendship like the one you described once. I had never felt comforted, safe, or loved like that before. And as much as it pained me to see the friendship die, my brief experience gave me hope and insight into what my future friendships could be like.

As for the pain of loneliness without the aid of friends, there's nothing you can do but learn to cope with yourself. We are only lonely to the extent that we are uncomfortable with being alone with ourselves - if we have a healthy relationship with who we are, spending time alone shouldn't be as lonely as you describe it. I'd say this situation's silver lining is that you now have ample opportunity to be alone and explore yourself. I hope I helped :) Feel free to PM me anytime.

i think a lot of people on this site feel the same way. you are welcome and accepted here, we all are. i especially identify with that, i have been the same way my whole life, practically. i'm here if you need to talk, okay? :) you're not alone
