Over the past few weeks I have uncovered that many of my friends are as lonely or more so than I am. It seems crazy that a group of buds as close as we are wouldn't know that about each other. So why is it that all of us are lonely? Does our closeness scare people away? I could see how it would be threatening... but then again my friends are very open to new people and are always accepting.
I will always wish these people the happiest of times even if they are sometimes lonesome. I and hope that I can be there when they don't have anyone else... And I hope they will do the same for me in return.
Perhaps the loneliness is caused by an unwillingness or fear of opening up to people and more importantly close friends. I think that hiding what you know to be true inside could in turn make someone feel as though nobody understands them thus creating a sense of "being alone". It's easy for someone to hide their true identity behind a pseudo exterior because people have so many insecurities, it's kind of fascinating in a way. Even the most confident person struggles with self acceptance.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't know you very well if at all, but I have grown to have a lot of respect for you. I like the closeness of your group of friends. It really amazes me...mainly because I don't have many "old" friends. Anyway, I'll stop before I ramble too much.
