There is a loneliness in this worldso greatthat you can see itin the slow movementsof the hands of a clock.There are peopleso tired,so strafed,so mutilated by loveor no lovethat buying a bargain can of tunain a supermarketis their greatest moment,their greatest victory.We don't thinkabout the terrorof one personaching in one place aloneuntouched,unspoken to,watering a plant,being without a telephonethat will never ringbecause there isn't one.-Bukowski
yeah i am lonely
i wouldnt be here if i werent
I read an article that the most friendless countries in the world aren't individualists but african and poor nations.
>>220018954not at all, i have a loving family and several great friends
>>220019075I would've thought it was the opposite. People who don't have much money seem to have stronger social bonds because they rely on friends and family for support. >>220019725That's great, anon.

>>220018954Yes, but I'm already used to it
>>220018954Yes and no. The way i grew up has done long lasting psychological damage to my ability to enjoy any aspect of life. No matter how hard I try and connect with people it always feels empty and superficial. I can't help but question the motives of the few people I actually do call friends. I have a girlfriend I love very much but even then I sometimes wonder if we would last given serious financial hardship. Im retarded and can't enjoy life even when I realize I have a very good one. I'm trying to do better. Genuinely. I recognize it's me and not other people. My father always tells me to drop the rock as a metaphor for dropping my emotional baggage.
>>220018954I've been alone so long I actually prefer it
>>220018954yesdon't romanticize itjust cope with it
no
>>220020523It sounds like you’ve got a pretty good grasp on your situation. >No matter how hard I try and connect with people it always feels empty and superficialIKTF. I think part of the reason is that I rarely let myself be emotionally vulnerable. Most people end up meeting a more superficial version of me, so it's hard to build an authentic connection.
>>220018954Yeah but not in a poetic or beautiful. Just fucking lonely
