School can be really tough on introverts. Finding friends can be tough on introverts. I bet you're looking forward to the summer break!

I don't think the world is working against me, but there certainly are people who work against certain things I am working toward. That causes conflict. It's not a conspiracy of the world. A few of them might be in cahoots sometimes though. I think generally, we all just work toward what is best...

I can understand that. You were appreciated for how you look like someone else, not who you are. Not your soul. Restless as it may be.

Actually I can and I did. He's exactly the kind of man this thread is talking about. He didn't let his looks stop him. He made himself attractive to women and got an attractive woman. Happens all the time. This thread is just people finding a thing about themselves they think they can't change...

This just seems like such a bad attitude to have. You aren't selling out by making yourself more attractive to women. You're being a human. An animal. Alive. Look at Casey Neistat. He's not gorgeous by any stretch, but he's awesome and you can tell Candice Pool, his wife, who I think is above...

Ambiguity is power. I see sarcasm used, not always necessarily, to create ambiguity about a person's real thoughts. You can't tell if they mean it or not, so your reaction to their sarcasm reveals information about you they can use to gain power.

I'm having exactly the same problem. When people start to think I think too much, I just think... it's not my choice. I just think because I'm awake.

Yes, that's the perfect description of it... I'm not sharing anything that matters with anyone. That's exactly it. Okay, well now I have a new perspective and a new tool with which to try to fix this situation I'm in. I need to find something important to share and someone to share it with...

How ironic, hey? I can't even see a correlation between loneliness and how many people are around. Big cities have a lot of lonely people. Tiny towns. I can be all alone in a room full of people or one person. I have no family, but it there are a lot here with spouses and kids who are lonely...

Social isolation. No deep connections with someone I love and who loves me. No optimism that I'll ever not be alone. I don't know how to correct that. I'm trying. It just won't go away. Not even when I'm with other people. I don't know what to do, except cry every day. It's like a brain...

How do you solve loneliness?

I cry almost every day. I've felt it coming on today for a long time. Thought I might be able to get away from it, but not after reading your post. I worry almost every day, my loneliness will kill me. I'm isolated. Alone. Even though there are people around. I'm seeing people tonight. I don't...

I had a tiny little family and they all died due to cancer and an aneurysm. I traveled a lot for school and work, so my friends are all somewhere I am not.

I'd love to chat.
