I Like a Good Quote

That’s awfully sad. 😔 I feel for those who are lonely. I’m grateful for my husband and good friends whose company I enjoy. I sometimes get that pang of loneliness myself, this pain deep inside, and it’s easily recognizable. Fortunately, it doesn’t happen often. When it does, I try to find something I enjoy like taking a walk, writing, reading, watching a show I like, etc. to replace the lonely feeling with a happier one. Or I reach out to you, and your compassion, wisdom, humor, and kindness always help me. ❤️

“It wasn’t simply his choosing to be alone that kept him that way. It was almost a condition of his existence. The feeling that he was an outsider had always been there.” - Terry Brooks

Love this! Especially this: [quote]all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. [/quote] It's sad though.

I didn't get the lonely gene, I almost never feel it. I do feel quite loved by some..
But, I think, it's easier for many to live in a state of delusion and illusion/fantasy, like on social sites like this. Then they don't have to sacrifice anything or suffer through the challenging times. Just some thoughts.
