The strange part about lonliness is that we don't have to be lonely. There are SO manypeople out therre looking for someone to talk too. I get caught up in staying in the house like a shut in and so I do't get out in the world as much as I htink i should and that seems to cause my lonliness. But whenever I do go out into the world it seems I always make a friend...... I wonder why I find it so hard to jsut get up and go anywhere....... It isn't like the experience is a bad one. Geeeezzzzz. Could I really just be LAZY as some have suggested. nawwwwwwww its the depression. its stops me from wanting to get up, get dressed and go out into the world in which I live...... It gets so hard to keep forcing myself to get out of the house and that is exactly what I have to do. There are so many things i actually WANT TO DO and I end up being too tired or too this or too that or it's too far to drive or I don't have anything to wear or something....... its always something............I wish I knew how to STOP it. Any suggestions???
