Do you ever feel like you're on an island?
That your interactions with others are like messages sent in a bottle, or you finally get to be with the natives and you are enlightened and impressed but you will never be part of the tribe? And no matter how many visitors you entertain or are entertained by you, that aloneness, isolation pervades every inch of your territory?
Just for the record,Lefty, I am out in the real world, and it is after being with people that I feel the loneliest. Kindness can only extend so far...I'm also a bit hormonal and my only living parent is ill.
Kudos to all the comedians. At least you brought me a smile.
To Mr. C., Doll, I want to let you know I am also a doer. I am lovely to behold and a joy to be with. I am strong though115# petite, a college graduate and an avid exerciser, and I am well-liked and loved, hell, even adored by all those that know me. You don't know me. Why pretend you do? I'm a remarkable specimen of hard work and God's blessings. I am loyal and loving and true. I have an irreverent sense of humor, and express an openness to people and they open up to me, on sight. I spent my entire summer in a bikini with the children and the elderly. They eat me with a spoon. You should be so lucky.
I was just tying to convey...that when everything is said and done, the loneliness that is part of being alive

And when we die we will die alone. In All That Jazz the connections we make with people "take you everywhere, but get you nowhere."
I grew up visiting the firehouse for my mother loved dearly a married Captain. And believe me, the burned or cancerous corpse is not taking a head count. It is the joy you bring people and vice versa that matters. I was not talking about having friends. I have a plenty. Or entering a shallow popularity contest.
I was referring to the untouchable solo soul. And that my friend, you may try to convey. But only those who live as though they have one can understand.
So go talk about your wife's panties and your death and taxes. I was just looking for a like-minded soul--or some comic relief. You, as usual, have been neither.
But thanks for taking the time to respond. Your answer reveals much more about your priorities than it does about mine.

I absolutely do. Though I live in one of the most happening cities in the US, I still feel kinda isolated(. It is probably because I dont go out too much or try to hangout with people etc these days.Though I am alone mostly,I do enjoy my own company . Definitely not lonely though.
At this stage of my life, nothing besides finding a job , paying off dues etc really matters to me.I am pretty excited about the possibility of how things might drastically change when I finally settle down. I will have a little money to spend and some confidence and a vigor to live life.Till then Y!A will keep me entertained!
I wish your mom good health and hope she recovers from her illness soon.And Merry Christmas!
Tight hug from your friend

Ah, asking questions that get decent responses isn't so easy, huh?
Anyway, that's the blessing and the curse of being an introspective type. You learn about yourself, but that pulls you away from being a normal "human." You become otherworldly.
You notice people who aren't all that introspective -- say volunteer firefighters, as a broad example -- have a zillion friends and hordes show up at their funerals?
For people like us, as much as we think we accomplish, we won't be able to accomplish that. Being cared for by more than maybe one or two people.
Our funerals will be sparsely attended, and those who attend will wonder why they're there. That's the cost of thinking.

Yup, and I've been given the entire identical dull, useless, uninformed, ignorant, self righteous, moronic, incorrect and traumatic recommendation that was once given there as good. Love the metaphor, very pointy.
