Have you ever thought about how many people are really alone out there right now. I mean people with no friends, family, or anything. How many people live their lives on the internet because people around them can't relate to them? How many of you out there feel like you can stand in the middle of a crowded store (or wherever) and not even be noticed, or if you are noticed, it's in a negative way. I feel like I don't really fit in anywhere. Especially living so close to a military base. Nothing but crew cuts and yellow ribbons on SUV's. Well, at least theres hip-forums
I've always been good at adapting but I'm a loner in personality. I have friends but there are many a times that I just like to be alone. Crowded stores I tend to avoid at all costs. I don't like it but I can do it without thinking about it.
Im very picky with who I like to spend my time with. Id rather be alone then around someone who annoys me...which is.... lots of people.
Many people are lonely or feel alone, even if there are people in their life. Especially when something happens in their life such as they lose a friend who used to at least fill some sort of void. I lost my best friend last year, in August. She had cancer. Now, I'm going through life, with changes and trying to get through day by day and right now I'm not really happy, but I put a smile on my face and try to think positive. I have new friends in my life just noone who i feel as close to as i did my friend.
Being alone for me has really came to be some sort of an opposite thing as I used to be a runner and run the streets. Now I am alone so much that it feels abnormal to even have someone over for a visit which never really happens other the the home care worker once a week. I get really nervous when I have company in my apartment and I do all sorts of little projects and things to keep me busy. I am used to going hours with not talking to another or days without human contact. This has turned in to my normal just me and my cat. My apartment cant even accomodate seating for more than one other person besides me as the couch is piled high with things and papers and stuff. I have learned to really enjoyy my solitude and being a way of life. I do know I spend alot of time alone and talk to myself out loug alot--not in a psychotic way only just speak my thoughts and have wierd converstations with my cat. People make me nervous.
i try not to be noticed, but sometimes its hard. i hate crowds, i love solitude. i have friends and family but i can only handle them in small doses and i mean s m a l l. i really just dont want anything to do with people. people get annoying and they treat me badly so id rather just go on my own and be without them. i only really relate to like 3 or so people in my life. all of the falsities get boring, i can only fake it so much.
you know, its so crazy when someone puts up a post like this, people reply and all feel the same.....kat, i feel the EXACT same way about my life....i feel like its way too hard now a days, everywhere you go people are fake, family is fake, and it makes it all so much easier to just remain in solitude....but the thing is, i see people that say stuff that i think every miserable day of my life, and it maes me think, maybe someone does feel the same way i do...ya know by the way, im not gay, but your picture is extremely sexy...
I know I already posted only was wondering if anyone thats here and 'loner' goes out of the way to take the solitude to another level. Like I just got back from Wal-Mart about 15-minutes ago, and left like at 3:30 AM to go and get the things I needed to totally not have to deal with the thousands of people that seem to be there in the Daytime. I also am basically Agoraphobic...have bad panic attacks when gone from home for too long. I try to not leave unless I have to and then it is like 3 AM. Just wondered if anyone else alone is agoraphobic or anxiety/panic disorder? Peace from within my crypt- RX
Loneliness is overrated. I've been there. Hiding, screaming, isolating, dripping with anger, implodded with bitterness for people...It's really only on the inside...if you can overcome your inner isolation you will not be lonely, i guarantee. But that is the most difficult thing to overcome, and sometimes it's likely to be impossible. But I managed, and I was strangled in isolation, that means so can you.
i used to have an anxiety disorder and id get panick attacks a lot when i was out... i would internally freak out and think all these psychotic irrational thoughts and its the worst feeling. run away from where ever i was coz i just had to be alone. im better now though... but could be coz i spend less time around people. i dont mind if im in a place with lots of people and on my own so much as i dont feel pressured. i hate being in the spotlight though. Eruna there would be others but i think we hide it so well that maybe we wouldnt even know if we met.
i used to have horrible anxiety problems, at school, and everywhere...i think i was mainly the pot, but now i kind of control it, and even though i still like being alone, im over my anxiety mostly... well...we've met...
I too spend less time with people to reduce the anxiety, like Christmas the one time year that I am expected to be crammed in the same area of the house with the 'family' last two Christmas' I totally failed and it was just too much I ended up sitting in my car while the children ran around the house and the noise level seemed to be an Ozzy Concert to me. I dont mind being around people in like more wide open spaces where I can get away real easy only packed waiting rooms and all is too much. Had to go to my out of town Dr appointment at like 8AM on a Monday Morning at a Large Hospital and all the Cell phones and being out of town was freaking thinking all them were the police and agents and I have done nothing wrong just felt paranoid and trapped. I dont really feel lonely as company takes away all feelings of lonlieness after about 5 minutes of trying to cope and deal with the person or something. I even get anxious and worried on here and the internet sometimes. I am just my wacked out me. Peace rx
Im alone and I LOVE IT... well I got just one really really close person in my life and a small select few that Ive lost touch with... my family and i arent close and my friends all screwed me over.. I got some aquaintences(sp) that are okay but no strong bonds or nothing..I dont mind being alone, its basically my choice anyways, ya know..
Really, I don't care to have a huge number of friends. I'm kind of alone that way and I like it. I have a couple of friends that I can go out and do things with, and a lot of aquaintances. I do my own thing, not tag along..... I feel that people who are alone, want to be. If you want a friend, be a friend.
Even when you're around people, you're usually alone. People are fake so often, you never know when they're being real. I've isolated myself from people because most people in the mainstream are full of shit. I think it would be cool to have close friends that were real, honest, and non judgemental. I don't like being / feeling alone, but as someone already said, I'll take that over the bullshit.
theres nothing wrong with being alone really, people are alone cause they choose to be.. i like being alone...i cant find people who can put up with me anyways so all is well i guess..
