Loneliness Or Depression

Tell me about it! (meaning i know what it is and what it does)
Or was it Depression?
Surrounded by people, yet still feel totally alone.
Seeing other people with partners, finding new partners and all you can think is "why dont i have one, whats wrong with me"
Maybe there was someone you liked but didnt like you in the same way and it hurt you!
Been there, done that and to an extent, am still not out of the woods.
Anyone else got any similar experience's
or
Are you all wildly happy, living awesome live's surrounded by friends, never had a problem finding a partner—??

I suppose a simpler way of putting it is:

Do you feel like the whole worlds having a party and youre the only one that never got invited 😢

😢 People yearn and pine away for love, Dogs, even when they have it.

I'll bet you if you could see inside of your friends hearts, the ones who are partnered, you'd find that they feel alone also, eventhough, on the outside they appear as though they are united.

It feels like .... you are standing still, motionless, while the whole world busily bristles by you, and you can't move to keep up, nor can they slow down to see you standing there.

They should come. Someone should come. Why can't someone see you standing there with love in your heart? Why don't they notice?

And that's how most people approach love, Dogs ... they stand in wait for it to come to them, because we all believe that love finds us.

Maybe that's in error though, because how long have you been standing there? Has it come to you yet? I've been standing for 49 years, dogs, and it still hasn't come to me yet.

Maybe it's because of this expectation .. how can someone fulfill another's expectation? Maybe that's the problem.

We stand there waiting for an unconditional love to find us, and in so doing this .. we have put a condition of expectancy on it.

Maybe the hardest thing I've ever done
Was to walk away from you
Leaving behind the life that we'd begun
I split myself in two

Proud and alone, cold as a stone
Rolling down that hill into the night
I could see the surprise and the hurt in your eyes
From behind each flashing city light

Love needs a heart and I need to find
If loves needs a heart like mine

Love won't come near me
She don't even hear me
She walks past my vacancy sign
Love needs a heart, trusting and blind
I wish that heart was mine

Proud and alone, cold as a stone
I'm afraid to believe the things I feel
I can cry with the best I can laugh with the rest
But I'm never sure when it's real

And it may be the hardest thing I've ever done
But apart from all that I hope to find
Where's the heart that's been looking for mine?
I hope it finds me in time

Lately, yup I've been down more often than ever...I just try and engross myself in work, work, and more work...it helps but then all that built up aggression/frustration/sadness comes pouring out when I break down...crying helps release it...but then the vicious cycle repeats...over and over again...

"I suppose a simpler way of putting it is:

LOL....😄 not at all! and ya know why—?? 'cause I'm the one havin' the party and it's up to ME who in the world I'll let join my party.

B4 anyone takes this as an ego based statement, let me say that when you are happy with yourself, there is no room for loneliness or depression. It isn't up to "everyone else" to make you feel wanted or good about yourself, it's up to you and you alone....and if the "world" won't accept you for who you are, or your friends have dropped ya like a hot potato, or you don't have a significant other....then it's simply their loss...and your gain.

"if the "world" won't accept you for who you are, or your friends have dropped ya like a hot potato, or you don't have a significant other....then it's simply their loss...and your gain."

^^^^^That is easier said than done.

sarasa....it might be easier said than done....but when you are ready you will find out that it isn't as difficult as it seems.

Once you know who you are and are comfortable with yourself as your best friend, the only one you know you can count on no matter what is "you", you will understand.

I agree, yes, it seems that the world is passing us by sometimes...but, "you" are the only one that can slow it down and find the niche that fits you.

It's all about learning, sometimes lessons can be painful and lonely, but with the knowledge that all it is is a "lesson", it can always change...it's all about expansion and outlook. You want positive, then that is what you get, if you think negatively all the time, then you will get that too.

There is a saying, "Know thyself"...the rest follows.

GOD THIS IS DEPRESSING

Wow - Thanks P-Angel
We're certainly on the same wavelength there.

yes dog i feel like this all the time but i usually don't want what other people have cause i know it wouldn't be right for me anyway but i still feel it!
