Loneliness is the master who teaches us to think to console to sympathatize to love to hate to do right to do wrong to remember to forget to live and to die ,in whole We must be deep thinker in loneliness and avail.

, so u create a profile (not on a dating site, you still have a bit of dignity left) and you post your favourite fotos of yourself (the ones that DONT look like you, know the feeling??) so you search for the girl members among the site. you message one you REALLY like, she likes ur pics, personality and you shedule a date, ur all excited!! someone likes you!! see next post...

you meet up... then... you fint out they were lucky pics (they DONT look like you, remember?) and now she sees what you look like and doesnt like it, tries to be nice to protect your feeling, you exchange numbers, but freezes you out, and when you get the message... see next post...

I once had a prank played on me, I "MET" a girl over the net where we clicked and got on. talked for weeks, i really liked her. I spoke to a "FRIEND" about the same time who insisted that she would never be my girlfiriend, I insisted she would and tried to make a go of things. Only to be comfronted by "HER" who infact was the idiot who was talking to earlier. This did wonders for my loneliness, As you may guess, i took it well >:c(

They say that you can be lonely in a sea of people and that this is the worst kind of loneliness. I however find comfort in that setting. I am never so peaceful as when I return to India and I find myself in the crush of humanity. There is something so much lonelier about living in the US. True I have family and friends but I do not mean the kind of loneliness one experiences when searching for a spouse or friendship. It is the loss of a sense of community that makes me feel lonely here. In India I find that presence of community and belonging that I just cannot acquire in the states.
Loneliness comes in many forms but the pain is just as great. One must be strong and stay the course for family however I miss India so much at times. I want to go there and live but I shall never do so. I want this form of loneliness to end.

you can develop some hobbies, interests, friendships, outings, do voluntary work at your local temple or work w disabled or elderly people in a nursing home or visit orphanages to provide services for them in the form of companionship and support for the staff.

I get lonely a lot, because my friends go to camps over the summer, my brother has his own friends and my parents are alwayz out. I deal with it by either drawing or reading books. There are many ways to cope with being alone, it just depends on your interests, and hobbies.

happyindian- you're very right. I do these things to try and get soomething to do. And my friends all come back as soon as their done. I guess i'm just lucky that way. And I only have one serious friend that i can tell anything to. She is really loyal and you can tell her anything, she won't even tell her own mother one of my secrets. That's the kind of friends that i stick with. ALthought my mom tells me to go and meet someone else.
