What is it like to be you living in this broken world?

Is it a happy tale you're living? An adventure? An angst filled drama? Or a tragicomedy? Do tell me. I'm curious. What is it like being you?

I know sometimes you long for people to just ask how you're doing just because. I know you sometimes think, "If only they know then they won't judge..." But it isn't always the case. There aren't many good people who care. I'm sorry if people always have motives for checking on you and some even like to judge and compare.

So let this thread be meaningful. Just a stranger asking another stranger, "How are you doing really?" I hope you're holding on. I hope that when you need a hand to help or an ear to listen from someone you trust fully, you have it.

I hope because truth is, I wish it for me too.

Imagine being alone most of the time and trying to get back to being alone most of the time when you're not, and that's kinda what it's like being me.

@DDonde Alone by choice or not by choice? Are you happy being alone? Because I know some people who are. Or would you want to get along with other people? Maybe you can try it. Maybe find some people your age who'd like to get to know you too. Most people are more comfortable being around their age group, I believe.

@Casheyane A mixture I think. I impulsively want to be alone most of the time and went I'm forced to be around people I usually want to get away.

@DDonde Ah.

Tbh I think solitude is great. We can learn a lot of things about ourselves in solitude. But sometimes I long for a crowd too. Just the righr kind. Coz you can be surrounded by a lot of people and still feel lonely. That's not nice.
