That's the way I feel right now. Isolated and lonely. It's especially frustrating when you know that you've reached out to others when they were down or upset about something, and, when it's you who needs an ear...nothing. I know that other people have lives, but it hurts that people who I've thought were better friends can't take the time out for something simple, like a cup of coffee. I'm also hesitant to open up to other people because I don't want to feel like I'm being needy or that I am ruining their good time.
