I Want Others to Accept Me For Who I Am

Why do you have/make friends?

I find this difficult to respond to. I have always been the shy one. I feel I do not have friends. I don't refer to the neighbor across the street. I simply have nobody I feel I can go to if I need a shoulder to cry on. And although, S.W. helps a little, the brief time I am able to chat is not as meaningful as a REAL body-Hug. Name me one person that was able to reach their senior years with JOY! Nobody wants to hang out with them? Sure I could go to the local bar up the street and get harassed by the drunks. At least it's a body, RIGHT? I'm just not sure how long it would take for them to find my body. Till then, I walk my little dog, wave @ the post-man and try NOT to cry.

Being physically alone is manageable, being mentally alone will drive you mad. Friends help you manage both especially if they care for you.

If you are super busy all the time then you don’t really need friends. But if you have time to feel lonely then most people do sooner or later.

Why do I need to make friends? I believe I have a low self esteem. I have so few. Actually none I can name. There you have it.

I don’t.
