Loneliness

This forum is a good example of what people talk about. No one here is different, than people out there. Everyone likes to talk about different things, the good thing about knowing many different kind of people is that there's always a different perspective than your own and you always have that you can talk about certain subjects and some that you can talk to about everything.

 

That is my favorite Bukowski quote. Well played.

To answer your question, there is a lot of small talk bs which I don't like. It has its place, but it is quickly boring. That's why I typically either stay home and read (or waste my life on here), or go out and party with a bunch of different people and can bounce from bar to bar house to house or what have you. And there is a negative correlation between the depth of the company and how annihilated I get. Also, the more you socialize, the more you can put together a circle of various friends who are just as weird as you.

Go out, be weird, don't give a fuck. You might be surprised at the results.

 

Being married and a mom, I'm rarely lonely. In my teens and 20s I suffered desperately from loneliness. I had trouble feeling connected to anyone back then. I go to bars, and parties to be frivolous. It's refreshing, but it can be unsatisfying if done too much. My time with close friends (both women friends, and men friends, and lovers) I talk about more meaningful topics.

When individuals repeatedly complain about the deficiency of others, my thought is "why do you expect more from others than you do from yourself?"

 

loneliness sucks. You need to engage in small talk to see if you're compatible with someone. Especially of the opposite sex! superficial conversation is just white noise in the background to me, but you're missing out if you don't engage in stimulating pillow talk, or a drive with a good buddy exchanging views and ideas.

I like my time to myself sure, but many of times I've had to lean on people in my life I'd met initially with idiotic small talk that blossomed into friendships and relationships. Just as they've sometimes had to lean on me.

 

I pretty much cut all ties wih most of my friends years ago and only talk to a few. I moved, But close enough i could have. But the way i figure, Phone works both ways, Fuck um.

If i go the rest of my life without seeing some of them, It wouldnt bother be a bit and we were all close, Worked togeather etc for years, Grew up togeather.

I would rather be alone, I have a gf and son so im not, But wouldnt bother me at all. I wish i could walk away tomorrow but i have my son. Oh well, Some want people around, Some in moderation, Some few but its all up to the person.

Sorry never felt 'alone' or that i wanted to kill myself ever. No reason, Life and the fun it has to offer is reason enough to stay. That and to piss some off you dont like and doing it for fun. To each their own

 

I am easy. I like being around people and I like being alone.

 

such a constant need for self validation

the lady doth protest too much methinks.

Same here, I lean more towards being alone, but not always.

I watched a programme last night that had the comment that people that find themselves lonely may seek to gain some comfort from what they eat. As in, having an extreme diet.

You should be a therapist, seeing as how you have everyone figured out and all.
