I’m miserable, misery is the only thing I know now. Love is so dangerous. Trying to live your life is the most risky thing you could ever try. I’m so numb, I can’t feel shit. I keep myself from being lonely things happen when your alone thoughts begin to create themselves when your alone.

“Trying to live your life is the most risky thing you could ever try.” Absolutely. It’s full of uncertainty and trying for something you have no idea how your efforts will pan out.
Being around the right people can help ease those thoughts.. distractions are good sometimes. Lonely doesn’t have to be the same as being alone, though.
Spot on. Loneliness was just the subject of a recent Psychology Today article. In it they described loneliness as more about how we perceive (and usually underestimate) the amount of care others have toward us rather than the amount of time we are actually alone. In support of this they pointed out that married people are more likely to report suffering from loneliness that unmarried people.
I noticed the same thing. My own thoughts are dark less often when I am with others, at least certain others. Because others can do or say damaging things I do choose carefully both where I go and who I am with. But yes, when I am with supportive persons in comfortable places my thoughts are not nearly so dark.
