I’ve been alone for most of my life…

Besides a few good relationships, I’ve hardly had many consistent friendships, and during times when I’ve been single hardly anyone has ever shown much interest in me. People say I’m attractive, kind, and funny, but they must be just being polite cause if it were true I wouldn’t be so lonely… sigh…

Idk if it has to do with that.
Loneliness...just happens.

They call me beautiful when they see me. Stylish, exquisite. Mom was even worried for a biker who wasn't looking at the road but on me the last time I actually went out. I have admirers. Probably a lot. I don't check or ask. People I meet for the first time are curious and always friendly to me because of this thing called beauty.

But do I actually feel happy? Do I actually feel seen? No. So I tend to stay alone. Or I try to make them see how strong I was. It tends to intimidate them.

See, being with people and not feeling that they like you for you...hurts. It makes you lonely.
So I learned that life is about choosing your type of lonely and alone. Being with people who you don't feel like you for you. Or being by yourself, surrounded by no one.

@Casheyane I guess you’re right… being lonely or not lonely isn’t always about being attractive or not. If people only see what’s on the surface, it could probably feel just as isolating to be admired.

It seems what’s really important is feeling seen and heard for who you really are on the inside… but I feel like no one sees me for who I am inside… maybe that’s the reason why I’m always so lonely…

For what it’s worth, I would admire you for your strength 🙂

@Justice4All Oh I definitely am introverted… believe me, I need my alone time to recharge… but sometimes it would be nice to at least have someone to hang out with and talk to in my down time… 😔

Happy, positive, optimistic, confident and open people who actively share and try to make a connection are more likely to actually do so. Maybe branch out and try something new and uncomfortable🤷‍♀️
SophiaPG · 26-30, T
@SlaveEt Maybe that explains it because I’m none of those things 😩

@SophiaPG
Well, you might consider finding out why and working to change so that you are. Everyone deserves to be happy, optimistic and confident. It's not always easy but it is worth the effort😊

@SlaveEt Good advice, a positive attitude. And a smile gi a long way. So does the occasional eye contact. But do not stare.

Maybe you should explore why being solitary is a bad thing?? In a modern society we can function perfectly as individuals. Its only when you throw children into the mix you really need a village...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Socialization and companionship is an innate psychological need of human beings… our species evolved in groups…

With all the people in the world, it’s surprising that it’s as hard as it is to find a connection with staying power.
SophiaPG · 26-30, T
@Jeephikelove Yeah, and I figure there are probably a lot of lonely people out there… why is it so difficult to find that connection? It makes me wonder whether life is really just some cruel game that I never agreed to play…
