It's funny, but sometimes I can be in a room full of people, and still feel lonely. It doesn't matter if I know them or not. Most of the time I feel like a square peg in a round hole, and I've always felt like that.
I don't have any friends now, but when I did they were always talking about someone else and I've always found that really rude and downright lousy. I'd rather talk about the weather than about other people!

So instead of standing with the women who were being catty, I'd leave and go chat with the men, who WEREN'T being "lousy." lol The women probably didn't like that and that's probably why i don't have friends now. LOL
Today, I don't mind being alone. I feel comfortable in my own skin and even enjoy being alone. My son lives with me, but we don't "converse" alot. I do spend alot of time in my room, and I actually look forward to being alone.
There's a difference between loneliness and being alone.
