I know the feeling. Sorry you feel this way too. It can be very lonely to feel that people who have not even met you and are supposedly facing similar issues don't connect with you.

Maybe it's just your illness saying that. Everyone has redeeming qualities, although it took a loooooong time before anyone found mine.

When I was much younger, I was just way to volatile for most people. Someone only had to say the slightest little thing to me and I'd take it personally and want to tear their heads off, then later I'd fall into a state of despair and want to die. I'd stew on it for days and blame everybody but myself when in reality it was all my stupid fault for being so touchy. Eventually I'd pick myself up and try to win them back, but all too often it was too late, then I'd really have a melt-down

These days I kind of stick to myself. It's easier than risking all that emotional crap all over again, but I do have at least one good friend and I think we all need someone to bounce things off, so don't give up on people StarStrike. There are some really understanding ones out there just like my friend, who has seen the bad side of the mental health system herself and come out the other side ok.

Anyway, to you!!
Rose.

I've dragged my best buddy down here from some place where I was constantly harassed. It was too much overwhelming for me. I searched this site & asked my pal to join me here. That's the reason that why I'm here. But I've made some here too. I recently made a friend here whom I talked to outside this site as well.
Thanks for this!

Since I live in "the land down under" and it's a big country with nothing but red dust in the centre, it's not likely that I'll meet anyone from this site in my neck of the woods, which is kind of a shame, but that's just how the modern world of the Internet goes.

We meet so many people in cyberspace, but never have the opportunity to meet them in person!

No I don't have any friends. Which is strange because people seem to like me, but I'm not good at building relationships.

I don't make friends easily and can't seem to keep them. I don't think I'm a very likable person. :/

Interesting because when I first started here I lived in Calif & then left my H......moved 2100 miles away....& on one of those nights when I was sitting on my computer....I was reading a post...think it was a comment about a town in Calif.....then I looked at his user name & realized he was referring to a clarinet....with his name......& then went to his profile & sure enough....I sent a PM to him & asked him if he was for sure the guy I was also a music major with at the junior college.....way back in 1970-1972. I had actually dated him as friends way back then & he & his new gf at the time who is now his wife I had invited to my wedding. His daughter who was also about my daughter's age was also on here........he hasn't been on here much as when he got more involved with Facebook, it fit his needs better so we've been conversing over facebook........sad, his daughter died last summer from MRSA & it's complications. His wife is a very wonderful person & they are a very special couple. I had actually lost touch with them over the years.....so it was really wonderful to come to find out that he was who I was thinking he might be.

Also have had a wonderful opportunity to get to know a lady from here....we met here & I got a chance to visit her & her family one New Year's Eve. I am very honored to know have had a chance to meet her & her family before I moved.

It's nice to have people who we have a more personal experience with than just online....but I think when we are real online, we can have very personal experiences even if we don't actually know the person IRL.

PC feels like home after all these years with all the wonderful people I have come to know even if they are just over the internet because they are the real person on the other side.

What kind of friend? An actual friend, or just added to their friends list? I think I've grown so distant with so many of the people on here, that I doubt I have any friends on PC. Plenty of nice people, though.

Most people do not like me in real life. I have 2 or 3 casual friends. No close friends. Not a one. Don't know how other PC'ers feel about me.

I guess what is most important is how I feel about myself.

I have made a couple of special friends on here but they are long distance. I can't hang out with them but we call from time to time to help each other laugh.
