I Fake Smile To Hide My Sadness

Denying I feel lonely makes no more sense than denying I feel hunger. It seems to me that the harder I try the harder I fall. I love being alone, but I hate being lonely.

I smile all the time so no one knows how sad and lonely I am inside. Some of us are just trying to get through the day without falling apart.

My silence is just another word for my alone pain.

I'm sorry you are going through this. It's a tough spot to be in. As you say you like being alone but hate the loneliness. What do you think would remedy this? New friends? Getting out more?

Thank you. I'm looking for someone to start a family and share the rest of my life with.
