Ironic — lonely / not lonely
Question:
It is amazing how things turn out — the people of this ng are wonderful. Thank you for all your help and feedback. I’ve saved your responses to reply to later. I have been thinking of loneliness – and how it applies when one is suddenly *not* lonely. I have had the fortune to meet people here and really enjoy the correspondence. As a result, my mood has perked up, and oddly has perked up my social life a bit. In the past week, 4 of the days have been with friends — I am just totally not used to not being alone. I would attribute this to the good people here, I have genuinely felt *less* depressed – not depressed at all, actually. This is the first time in many months that I have had such close interaction with anyone. Perhaps this is showing in my mood irl. Two female friends that I have just resumed getting to know have complimented me on my personality. This is truly a first, and perhaps I am radiating happiness for the first time.. I don’t know what it is. I don’t really know what to do — I am so un-used to not having tons of free time to mope and beat myself down… I just want to thank you all for your support.

It’s true – a mode of thinking I haven’t much practice with yet but it helps when you are around people you like and trust. I have been helped somewhat by getting out of the house a bit more and making some concrete plans for each day. — nonessential

The best thing we can give to the world and to others, is ourself. And that is appreciated in kind. Good company. Harvey
