Wants versus Needs

Has anyone played the ole “wants vs. needs” game, in therapy or elsewhere? Last year I was in a therapy group setting. Everyone got a pencil and a piece of paper. Make 2 columns for Wants and Needs, and just start listing each of our wants and needs as they came off the top of my head.

I had a few needs, like food clothing shelter and companionship. At first I couldn’t come up with any wants. So then it was time to put our pencils down. We went around the table, people were rattling off their wants and needs.

To Hell with friends

Face it, friends want something. Whether it’s companionship, belonging, someone to talk to, someone to drive them home when they’re piss drunk, someone to borrow money from, someone to move furniture for free, or whatever, they want something. A successful friendship is based on a fair balance of giving & receiving these things. But some of us don’t want and don’t need any of those things. As a result we end up giving everything and receiving nothing. Friends serve no logical purpose. Oh but try going through life without friends and society labels you a freakshow, a misanthrope, a socially maladjusted head case. So every […]

Can I Do This?

I don’t know if this website is for this type of comment but I’m going to post it anyway just to empty my head. I have seriously been pondering suicide for the past few weeks (again) and have gotten down to a few ways to do so. My dilemma is my precious dog, who is my companion and that I love more than anything. He is so very dependent on me that he will not leave my side for any reason. My problem is what will become of him if I leave this ugly world? I don’t know anyone who would give him the love […]

SOS

I don’t want to die.

I need companionship.

I need someone who will tell me it is alright. I need someone who will lend a shoulder to cry.

I need someone who will not judge me by my choices.

I am so tired of pretending to be strong. of pretending everything is alright and that my life is happy.

I am tired of pretending I don’t need someone.

somehow I feel like despite the fact that I have friends, I am disconnected with everything else. Â so I am seeking companionship.

how many of the people I know will cry when I die? in my mind, I know, they are not a lot. […]

why oh why

my job finishes at 6pm, but now it’s 9pm and I’m at my desk still

not cause I’m working, just because I don’t know where to go or what to do

The person I want to be with is happy and contented with someone else

My life is rich on the commercial exterior, and hollow and empty within

i just walk the stage, empty and meaningless, wondering if I can get the courage to finally punctate this rambling and meaningless venture with a truly final punctuation point

I find a perverse companionship in reading all the posts here… Â all our little miseries swept up together and piled neatly in a […]

Love and Hate

by LiamS 3/20/2012

written by LiamS

I love her with all my heart. But I hate her for doing this to me. I love her for being honest about her feelings. But I hate her for not having those feelings. I hate myself for hating her. I hate myself for loving her.

Sometimes I think I’d be better off if I’d never looked at her a second time. It’s funny how that single act of going up to her and starting a conversation, has led me to where I am now. Sometimes I think I’d be better off if we’d never met, but then I wouldn’t have enjoyed the WONDERFUL time we […]
