@RainMann

does this mean you don't have to think of anyone to not feel alone, or that no one helps you to feel less alone?

@MonBon i drove away the person who made me feel less alone. so, i have "alone forever" tag written in big bold invisible letters on my face now. BUT i must acknowledge, i have few (very few) loyal friends who are willing to help me when i am in crisis or when i am alone. but now things have changed. there was time when friends were enough to kill loneliness. after i discovered what it feels to be loved, freindship doesnt help ward off loneliness.

I see. I hope you are able to appreciate your friends, even if you also need some extra support elsewhere heart

@MonBon yes MonBon, i appreciate my friends, and i am thankful to them and to you too for caring to reply. at this juncture in life, i dont want to turn to freindship to cope up with this loneliness. i belong "somewhere else" now, and i want to stay there. i only hope it is appropriate to share stuff with you here like this.

me too. new favorite characters came recently from Richard Powers novel The Overstory. heart Still though, these aren't real people. How to connect on a personal level with real living, breathing humans?

Everyone I'm friends with online. Sure it's harder to trust in friendships with people you've never met irl, and they might not be able to be here in person, but I've known them for years at this point haha

@Hiddenfolk

I'm glad you've been able to find friends online :) I think in some ways, we are more honest when we are online as opposed to in person.

Books and movies can be a wonderful form of escapism. I'm glad you were able to find a fictional universe to help you!
