I'm feeling bit low at the moment. I just want to say I'm sorry for the way I am. As I look at conversations. People seem loud and talkative. I'm not one of them. I'm something else. I'm quiet and I don't talk much. I'm boring too. I don't do much in my life. Other people are great I guess. Me? Nah, I'm just a bore. Ha. I might as well not talk. I have nothing to say. I hardly have friends because I push them away. I hate going out. It scares me! When someone invites me. I get scared! It's a weird feeling. It was my mother's choice to give birth to me. So speak to her if you have any problems with me? I'm not a favourite person. I'm just a outsider. My only true best friend and lover is my boyfriend.

I'm sorry happy cheeks!!! I know that feeling all too well. You have nothing to apologize for. It's not your duty in life to make friends and make polite superficial conversations. Some of us, our minds are on different tracks than the rest of the world and find it a lot more difficult to relate and find it a lot more difficult to spit out garbage and superficial talk to those who are uninterested or uninteresting. That's the way I look at it at least. It's too much work to find the "right" words that society says you have to say to be accepted. It's too much work to watch your every move so you don't upset others. It's a fact of life we upset eachother, it wont change all we can do it try not to hurt others.

Stinks when you feel alone. When you feel like you have no one and when you feel like you are no one, but always remember you are! Your mind is a unique beautiful thing and it's only yours. You can conquer the world with just your mind if you wanted to. I hope you feel better soon... It's no fun feeling this way

It's okay. This feeling will pass. Thank you for the positive reply.

An Economy of Speech: There are people who speak much and say little. (There are also people who speak much and say much; I'm not talking about them.) Those folks don't "practice an economy of speech". My observation of you, dear Happycheeks, is that you are an individual with a great heart and rich emotions. Nevertheless, it is your style to use few words to express yourself. Each of your few words is full of meaning. That's "economical".

Perhaps some have mistaken the fewness of your words for being boring. Unfortunately, they are hearing your few words but not pausing to consider how much is behind those words.

Sounds like a great boyfriend. You are very lucky to have each other!!!

Happycheeks, you have no need to apologize! I feel glad to have you as a friend on PC, and I certainly don't see you as "boring" and those other adjectives you used to describe yourself!

Gee, I even had one lady on here who told me point blank that she did NOT appreciate my sense of humor and did NOT want to be my friend!

Some of us are quiet, some loud, whatever. Okay? I like you just the way you are!
