One of my friends recently asked me why i was down. I tried explaining that while i love my friends and family, that it sucks not really being a vital part of anyone's life or plans. It's not an exaggeration to say that if i fell into a hole tomorrow, it would be about a week before anyone knew i was missing, and about 2 before anyone went to look for me. If i was never found, people would be sad for sure, but nobody's life would actually change. That just sort of depresses me.
What followed was a huge argument that ended with her basically saying that i was a jerk because i refused to let her tell me that that's not the way it is, and that i should just be happy that i have friends. (i am happy that i have friends anyway.)
It's like i'm not allowed to be lonely or something, or want more than just friends or a family. Why is it that people do this? Does this happen to any of you?
