I've lost count of the occasions when I have felt lonely in a crowded place. I have been sat with good company, and felt lonely. I live in a neighbourhood that makes me feel lonely.
To elaborate, it started back in school. Lessons would be taking place, and I would be lost staring out of the window. I am either good at something, or awful, no inbetween. They never taught me anything that I wanted to learn, this felt pretty much without value.
Currently, I live in a typical post-industrial town. Despite having a desirable postcode, and a historic old house, the now growing community is low-rent. Educational and moral values aren't great. Infants are pushed out of teenage wombs, clutching cigarettes and alcohol. They will grow into 3rd or 4th generation unemployment. Their dreams and aspirations will be about fake tans or growing hallucinogenic substances.
I simply do not fit in.
