I Want to Make Friends

After Ive been beaten up so many times, and I have been hurt so many times, I'm broken. The thing is, all the sharp, pointy edges are pointed towards the outside, some are also awkwardly shaped and look weird. They scare most people away. But all the soft edges are on the inside. The people that try to reach them often hurt themselves on the sharp edges and give up. There are a few special people that don't give up, or they know how to get past the sharp parts. The first type of special people are the people that care for other people, that don't care about your sharp edges and reach the smooth and soft edges on the inside. My grandma was one of them, but unfortunately she died a few months ago. The second type of special people are people like me, people that have a lot of sharp edges too, but somewhere they have some soft edges. Unfortunately all these special people are extremely hard to find, but if you find one, they try to glue your broken pieces together, or when they have sharp pieces too, they mix theirs with yours and it's a lot easier to find fitting pieces and the construction you get is a lot stronger then when you just use your own pieces. But many of those people are scared to share their pieces with other people. I'm still looking for someone to share my pieces with, so we can create a new, strong construction.

wow... that's a really nice way to put it. You write quite really well :) Sometimes... well... somehow you have to learn to retract those sharp edges. Not all of them, of course. You still have to protect yourself. That's survival. And sometimes it's hard to do if you reconstruct yourself with someone's else pieces. Because when they leave, and they will eventually..or when you leave, and somehow you eventually will.. you will find yourself broken again. And missing pieces too. You will have to learn to be alone. Contrary to popular belief, being alone is not synonymous to being lonely. That's two different things. You have to figure out which one you are. It might feel like the same thing most of the time until you figure it out. And, I assure you that many people feel the same thing. In fact, everyone does. But the people you see that have many friends, or have found those special people, are the people who have learned to retract their sharp edges and have let people touch some of those soft edges.

That's a good point your making and you describe it really well. I did think of something similar but I forgot to add it. (I wanted to add it as an explanation why most people are scared to share the pieces.) I have kinda learned to survive on my own, but often it makes me feel lonely, because I'm not good at retracting my sharp pieces.

On the internet, it's ok. But in real life, no one will talk to somehow who acts miserable or sad. if you just smile, people will like you more. That's a good start towards retracting your sharp edges. It will make people want to share their pieces with you. Round your edges a bit with just a curly smile :)
Smile even for the smallest things. Like a good quote. Or a beautiful person. Or for some of your own thoughts. Or when you think about how stupid I am for saying to smile for small things :P

That was a beautiful way to say that. You should use that in one of your speeches you have to write
