"when we fall into the hand of our surroundings and loses the internal dialogue, we experience a kind of emptiness."

So true. You know, some people really don't care about surrounding. They are always in dialogue with themselves. And yes, there is no enough understanding. Right now I experience it alot. I called some people whom I considered "friends" and they turned me their back. How can I call them friends from now on if they let me fall when I needed them?

I am a person who has very very little ability of listening my internat dialogue. It always awaits. When I try and even force myself to listen it, I lose my concentration very fast. It's like everything is fragmented. Every though is individual. There is no connections between each other. Like a mess. I guess the best method is to speak with people (which I have very little access) but unfortunately they turn their back.

This situation is always happens to me. That why I have very little friends and it looks like I'm gonna put some of them outside again.

You mean try to do something creative to bring those people back? Or create something to forget them?

I'm always talking to myself, it's a good way of knowing more about me, and i don't get distracted because i hear myself, when i just think in my head, i get lost in my thoughts. I look like a crazy mofo though.

I dunno...I don't really need people to keep me from being bored - I seem to be able to entertain myself. If there was an empty room with a pile of poop in the middle of it - I'd be the kid who would ask.."where is the pony!"

You see, it is really difficult for me to accept one fact. The fact that I perfectly know when someone is going down. And I never let them fall. Always. But I do not receive same back. Especially when I need it. How can I maintain self respect while knowing that I am the only one who cares? That makes me divide real friends from a $ $ holes, which means NOONE.

I really need quesiton people for their behaviours. That makes me quite demanding.

That's because you always look at funny side of the life. And it is not the reality. It's just that. Funny. But when reality kicks in, people like you always bump into problems.

Haffo, Interesting topic.

I usually try doing something new that I have never done before...it might be something trivial or something big...doesn't matter as long as
I'm no longer bored.

LOL, Freebird, so you see "poop" and imagine there's pony somewhere!I wish I had your attitude towards life. It must be great being you.😉

Of course. But as you see, that requires dialogue with your internal voice which I have no adequate access.

Haffo...maybe, you need to let them fall. How can one learn without experiencing? You cannot save everyone and just because you don't "save" someone does not mean that you are not their friend. Sometimes saying "no" is love. I am a bit confused....when you say you are demanding, what exactly do you mean? Isn't it better to accept than
to demand?

I sense your frustration Haffo - it will all come to light in time - patience my friend - the current will get you there.

They already fall many times before met me. They already know what it is. When I catch their hands and pull them up, they are greatly thankful for it. Which means that I did something to them where somebody else would let them live in their hell. This is my first step towards people. It's equal to your funny appoarch to people where people feel themselves enthusiastic towards you. Same here. But somehow one group prefer to betray while others not. I guess you right. No help no expectations. Just mind own business and let everyone live in their hell.

Haffo, I don't know your actual situation and you seem quite distressed about the whole thing. Its really disappointing when you see poeple you care for turn their backs on you without a second thought.But I guess thats a part of everyone's life...
it has happend to all of us at one time or other.I would like to say something that will make you feel better or solve your boredom problem...but there's is really no solution to your problem.You cannot change people or how they act.

I know this doesn't help much , but my way of dealing with it is not to rely on other poeple too much.

Take care.

I feel like helping someone is the easiest way to prevent them from helping themselves. Getting your act together is very satisfying and part of becoming stronger. When someone is always there to do things for you, you learn to rely on other people and blame them when they don't help.
It's like saying they are not there for you, maybe that's good, no? Did they ask you to help them in the first place, did they know they would have to give in return. When i give, i give, not to get something in return, it feels better that way.
You can give hints and be there for someone, but if the urge to change and grow doesn't come from inside, it just won't work.
In life, many people need to fall down to get back up and see clearly, if you don't let them fall, they'll always end up in the same traps.
