Agreed, Blackhole! This time of year seems to be the time when we feel most acutely alone. Some of us–and i am one–were specifically NOT invited to family celebrations and my friends are ignoring my efforts to see a movie with me tomorrow.
I guess I realize I no longer really have friends and family is not a safe place. Apparently, contrary to popular opinion, the rate of suicide goes DOWN this time of year.
Half the users of this site post about their sorrows, then log off and hangs out with 30 friends and plays checkers with their siblings. It’s Christmas and I believe most of the users here have their own families and friends to have fun with.
But not you and me, I guess? I never celebrate Christmas. Got no family.

I’m sorry for your loneliness, but do you have a sense of some comfort on this site? I do.
