To everyone that is alone & especially to the younger generation.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this since I feel so alone. I think a lot of us people who are sensitive to the pain and suffering in this world expect the same kindness in return. I think that’s impossible since so many people are trying to achieve mass friends and acceptance.
I’m not going to give up and maybe you shouldnt either. Instead of trying to befriend the masses, we should seek out and help the ones who are hurting, who do need us.
It’s my mission to find the ones who sit in their rooms alone and hug them. What would this world be like, if indeed all of us who are sensitive to mankind gave up?
We are all needed, we are just looking for the wrong acknowledgement.
I hope all of you that read this do know how truly needed you are & I tell myself the same, because it is true.
At 33 this is just now occuring to me, that I will never be accepted by people that are not like me & the ones who are like me are alone as we speak. Let’s not be ashamed of the kind & loving people we are, but to use our love and kindness for the appropriate people.
God bless any of you who feel alone right now. Don’t give up, you have a purpose.

I’ve been thinking about it and I’ve come to a certain, rather sad, conclusion: how can I be certain that I’m the “kind and loving” person I imagine myself to be, if I’ve never had the opportunity to be kind and loving to anybody?
I often imagine myself in all sorts of “me taking care of others” situations, but that’s just the imaginary world – who knows how I’d actually behave? How can I make sure that I wouldn’t get pissed off if a, say, depressed person I befriended ended up being too clingy and dependent on me?
I’ve never had a close friend or a girlfriend. What if I actually found a friend? What if, as a result, I stopped feeling lonely and awfully depressed? Wouldn’t my true colors start showing after a while? What are my true colors, anyway? That’s what makes it scary – this might be a horrible example, but there are thousands of true stories about couples that are happy for the first few months of the relationship and then the guy transforms into a woman beating scumbag or starts doing drugs and neglects his partner or whatever else… What if my true nature is the complete opposite of kind and loving?
I wish I knew the answer to your questions. I ask myself all the same questions, but I have come to a point where it is better to try than ask. I know there are good people to spend my time with, but I have spent too much energy and tears trying to gain approval by the wrong people. Now I am to focus my attention on people that are like minded. I have no idea where this path takes me, all I know is I have to try something different.
