I wasn't very lonely during high-school because I had a large group of friends with similar interests to my own and three realy close friends I could always talk to and hang out with.
Unfortunately after I graduated we pretty much all went our own way. One of my three good friends moved to another country and I haven't talked to him in 2 years. Another moved far away and we din't realy keep in touch. The other I'm still sort of in touch with but usualy its a short conversation where we exchange greetings but we don't realy hang out as much anymore cause we each have our own lives.
I guess somedays I feel realy lonely and it bothers me... But everyone has a road to walk in life and when you're in high school I guess you're sort of on the same road as they are but after high school is over evreyone pretty much takes a path meant for them.

Ooh. Just saw this one and it's one that I've had a grand old fight with at a few points of my life.
Generally I'm on top of it these days, but I've noted things get a lot worse when:
-I'm in a new job/environment. It really strikes me when I start off, but as time goes on, I will gradually interact with it enough to feel settled. I'm someone that needs a lot of time to settle in, and unfortunately for me this applies JUST AS BADLY online as well as offline. 8D (I still haven't completely settled onto this forum yet, and it's been 5 months!)
-I'm lacking familiar faces. Having close friends around often keeps me completely happy. Sometimes said friends get caught up/busy, and things slide downhill if there's practically no time spent talking to these wonderful people. </3
-In the event of dealing with new people, the best people are those who can take the initiative with me, just at first, and then are willing to stick with me for a bit. If I do warm to someone, I really warm to them.
Being lonely isn't a bad thing. It means you want something more meaningful out of your friendships with others, and that you're not happy to be as passive with people as you are. I'm sure many of my good friends feel a similar sense of loneliness~
get me being all deep.

Do you feel lonely??
Yeah. I do. I spent a lot of my time with people on the internet because I wasn't afraid of stuttering or having to look people in the eyes or anything like that. It's almost a judgment-free environment. You don't have to be worried about your appearance online. You kind of just hide behind this identity that you create for yourself and hope for the best. When I was in middle school, I spent my entire life online. I would share with people my interests and they never saw me nor knew that I was only 12. I ended up building stronger relationships with people online than in person and then you hit this point where you're like "I'm all alone." You don't have friends in the real world and you may never meet the people online. It was an incredibly hard realization. And my real friends wouldn't want anything to do with me. I spent all my time alone on the computer trying to impress people I'll never meet. It was rough. Aside from that personal story, I think that loneliness is more of a mental obstacle. I always feel alone. I'm in my own world, I guess. If you're an armchair psychologist you could probably diagnose me with something. But yeah, I feel alone a lot. Even when I'm with my friends or with my girlfriend or something like that. It can be a crippling feeling knowing that not everyone understands you or that you can relate to many people.
Is hard for you??
No. After a while and you get over the whole idea, you kind of just build off of it and start to learn more about yourself. Some people get depressed over it. I love learning more about myself and my interests. It can be enjoyable being alone a lot.
