Hello Jafar. I know what you mean, I don't have a single friend left from the days before my illness and not too many family members make time to talk with me either. I still don't have any close friends and part of that is because I chose not to get hurt in that way again and part of the reason is that I simply don't care anymore about having close friends.
I have found it better to have a lot of casual acquaintances than some close ones. I seldom have trouble finding someone to go for coffee with (when I have money for coffee) or someone to email or phone or strike up a conversation on the street in the nearby town. Of course that realization didn't come overnight.
In some ways I miss having close friends , in other ways I don't. I never have to worry if my place is a clutter because I know that nobody is coming by LOL.
However I do understand your loneliness and your disappointments. I hope that eventually you will be able to make your life less lonely. Take Care. paul m
"Alone we can do so little;
Together we can do so much"
Helen Keller
Of course this is a quote by Haruki Murakami
these are not my words..
..
for me being ALONE is different from being LONELY .. because even if you're NOT ALONE you might feel LONELY ..
..
Sometimes being with the wrong crowd in the wrong place makes me feel LONLIER than being ALONE ..
..
So if it was my quote .. I would use the word LONELY .. not ALONE ..
..
I think We all need to be alone sometimes ..
Privacy is something we always need ..
When I was depressed, I felt the loneliest and most troubled when I was in the company of others. I had a powerful feeling that I didn't belong (in the world, i.e. very suicidal when I was around other people).
