I Love People
Can someone explain to me why there are so many people that love people but I just feel alone and depressed around them?

well a big problem is we have become accustom to talking to strangers in one liners on social media and not any face to face time
People now days won't just speak to someone in public
I am shy so that is kind of my way of getting beyond it ,I do
Standing in a check out line I have people rolling ,
Normally about out of control kids
I will say something like ,,"Am I the only one that still hears my ears ringing for Momma going upside my head for acting like that in public "?
Then its on ,all of us talking about how our parents would have punished us .
Its not hard
we have just turned into a bunch of scared people
teach our kids not to speak to anyone also ,,we all are strangers until were not
Someone had to be willing to speak ,so me ,the shy one
I now make that my job
It is sad ,so many lonely people and so many to talk to

@Earthwrap no ,it seems people have taken to social media and are closed off in public
But in my experience ,and I have just a little
When you get people to open up in public ,they are happy to talk
They are just afraid for whatever reason
I can speak to someone at a wreck on the interstate and soon 20 people are around my car ..
My ex messed with me ,she says I can start a party anywhere
But I am basically shy ,,,I talk to strangers as a way of getting past it
There are places like volunteer at a mission that can be a door opener
There are lots of lonely people there that would appreciate a kind word
And it don't cost you anything ,just show up and offer to help
go visit people in nursing homes ,,,just sit and talk with them
As you give ,it comes back to you
But in my experience ,and I have just a little

@rckt148 Well I agree with you but somehow it doesn't answer my question. I had a job for many years being extremely social but being social doesn't make me like people and doesn't make me happy. it just makes me realize how messed up people are, how different I am, and misunderstood. People that like people must not experience those things.

@Earthwrap We have been a part of a social experiment
certain people levitate to certain people ,and our subconscious is wired that way .
but for one reason or another we have grown accustomed to being loners
I am an alpha male
Some men are just drawn to me ,,,and little boy and for some reason repelled by me ,I am seen as a threat to their little ego's
I have done something with my life ,I have something to talk about besides a job .
Men used to be into hunting and fishing ,building things ,working on cars ,fixing our own stuff ,and that gave us things to talk about
So I could say to a stranger "Did ya hunt this year ,and he would say ya I got a 21 pointer ,,or been fishing lately ,and he would say ya got a 12 lb bass last weekend
Now its did you watch the race this weekend ,,and the reply is Yes
or now I hate Nascar all that commercial BS ,ruining our environment LOL
I guess what I am saying is its signs of the times
In the end their hearts will wax colder and colder
A mans enemy will be in his own household
To really know someone and bond we need a common ground ,seems we have lost that
We work ,then retreat to our little sanctuaries ,trying to feel safe from a colder and colder world
Someone has an agenda to divide and conquer ,,,very few get that
They are happy to hide and feel safe ,,even at the cost of our freedom
