I don't know ~ Maybe it's cause we don't want to be a "burden" to other people -- to be a downer. Maybe we don't want to put forth the effort to go out. Maybe it's too hard to put on a smile and pretend that everything is "ok" for others, when inside we're dying. If someone asks us "what's wrong" do we REALLY want to tell them? Heck no - it would ruin the whole evening, and they wouldn't really listen anyway.

So maybe that's why we push people away. You'd have to have one REAL friend - a friend for life, that would really care who would listen to you. I have one of those but we don't talk that often. She lives several states away -- I've known her since I was 4 yrs old and I'm 63 now!! LOL She knows everything about me, and I mean everything. And I know the same about her. She's the ONLY friend I have.

Just my thoughts. Hugs, Lee
