Awww, Danie! I'm sorry you feel this way. But you're wrong about one thing. You do have friends. Or, at, least, you have one person who's wishing very hard they were you're close friend. so... Please know that?

By the way, that was amazingly written. Wow.

Don't feel this way. Please? I'm sorry if this post didn't cheer you up, but it came from my heart.

Dudette, I know how you feel. And that's EMPATHY not SYMPATHY so you will have to get a new bucket. I know how it feels to be lonely and feel like you aren't part of any groups. I know people will say there aren't groups, and there aren't cliques, but isn't that maybe what we just want to believe?

Danie, you are practiclly a mirrror image of me.  I love reading your posts. Your perspective is so unique... so genuine. 

I won't say anything else. 

*wordlessly hugs Danie*

*hug* 

Danie, you don't need to be part of a group, because you are all-around awesome! You aren't part of any one group, you are a great friend, a wonderful writer, and a crazy and awesome person!  

l'm not going to give you sympathy. Take it from one lonely person to another. l've had it and it never helps. Rather, l'll give you some depressing writing, because that's the only thing that l really can give you, words, just words. Enjoy.

There were those days, days that l could've wept enough tears for all of humanity.  Not like it would've helped. The lonelieness is tearing me up inside, There is no one on this lonely planet that understands me. Why can't there be just someone, who knows what l'm going through? 

They pretend that they do. With words. Words are weak. Weak. Why did we ever chose them to be messengers of  our hopes and dreams? Anyone can put some words togather like they mean. They don't. They can't ever understand. 

l can swim in the all pity, but pity never helps. It hinders. They say that time heals wounds, but time also leaves scars. Scars for life. Scars that l'll never forget.

No one cares. No one understands. Perhaps l'll be alone for rest of my life. Should it matter? l want it to not, but it does. l'm human, not a cold automatonic. But l'm different. l want light to leak through this broken world. Maybe l'll find light. There is always hope. 

That's long. And boring. And pretty depressing. l should push the backspace, but no l'm not going to.

Sympathy won't do anything for you. Cut yourself slack when you make mistakes. Look for the greater good. Praying is always helpful.

The only way I've fought loneliness since childhood are imaginary friends. Call it stupid, but they're always around for me. I can't imagine not having all these people in my head, talking to me, talking to each other...

Just know I consider you a friend Danie. Stay strong and don't let inner hurt break the outside :) 

Yes.... this is why I hate empathy.

Because just up until school started, I knew EXACTLY what you meant. I still do, as a matter of fact.

During summer, there was no one around. They were all on vacations or my parents forgot to contact them or something. And my brother has all these friends that I think are idiots. Because all they care about is playing basketball and video games. They think books are usless. They're idiots.

And then there was Cricket.

Some of us are very close, like Cloudy Dweller and Rose Bud. But that's because they live close by each other. And there are some of us- like Somebody and me- that are friends, good friends, because we admire one another, but... it's tough to make real friendships, close friendships, when all you can do to communicate is use emojis and type. *Hugs* isn't as touching as seeing someone in the flesh, wrapping their arms around you, and letting them cry into your shoulder. 

I think many of us feel like this. Cayke posted a thread that refused to top once. Now SD and you and me. And you know what? It's just because of what I just said. We're online people. It's tough to get close. But we're friends. That's what matters.

Good day.
