I feel lonely because I know there is nothing inside me, and it's a humiliating experience when others see that about me, so I have to keep distance. If I do not keep distance, people have, do, and will, see nothing inside of me. This, in fact, happens. It's not me...."getting down on myself"...or..."being hard on myself."
I notice others trying to get to know me. I know they try. But, they do not know the truth about me. It's not like I'm always thinking..."Oh, I'm such a piece of ****." "I'm no good" "I'm garbage"...etc...No, I do not believe I am any of those things. Because being any of those things would be better than which I am, which is, literally..."nothing".. It's not that I'm "A nothing". I am nothing. A "non-entity". I have a body, and certain personality traits, which people can, and do, see. My personality characteristics are all real enough...but, they are all serve one purpose, and one purpose only..to not ever let anyone know I am nothing.
That's why I am lonely. I'm convinced of it. Have been since my earliest memories. And, other people's reation, when they see the nothingness... it makes them really uncomfortable. They're embarrassed for me when they see my "nothingness".
That's why I'm lonely. I don't "think" it. I know it...having learned it from experience.
