I Just Need Someone I Can Talk to
I feel so lonely sometimes; even though I do have people whom I can call friends. It doesn't help that I find it frustratingly hard to make new (real) friends. So I came to this website to see: does anyone else feel the same way?

Posted Feb 14th, 2009 at 8:24PM I totally know how you feel, I just moved to a new school. Away from all friends. :( My only real friend moved to another country. Just to let you know-your NOT alone. What I sometimes do find helpful is talking to your parents. I know it sounds a bit weird at first but, when in the right mood, the tend to really understand. Just sit and talk for a while. Hope this helps. | |
Posted Apr 1st, 2009 at 8:57PM My 'mask' is a big stupid grin. No matter who I'm talking to I always have this stupid smile, and if someone tells a joke no matter how stupid I think it is I will laugh. I don't mean to do any of this stuff, behind closed doors I'm a great guy, but before the public eye I shrivel up and become this stupid 'yes' man. I keep telling myself that I just need to train my mind to act differently in those situations, and everytime I go out I try so hard to branch off and show a side of me that's real. But in the end, no matter how much I want to avoid it, I end up standing at the back of the group, following them around so that at least I'm not alone, and still as quiet as a mouse. | |
Posted Apr 3rd, 2009 at 11:03AM That can be me too Issac. Inside, I will be kicking myself. I don't even know when I began to do this. Was it when I hung around (silent, at the back of the group too) some "friends" who were incredibly judgemental? Did it start when as the silly younger sibling, I wanted approval from my elder brother? This is the part of me that I'm trying to change. I keep thinking I've changed immensely. Then, when I'm in another one of those situations, I can see that I was kidding myself and that there might always be that little, nagging insecurity that keeps me this way. This is one of my big goals - to change this way of behaving. It's ironic in a way. We are all wearing masks, and we all have similar fears, yet despite this, we are kept separate and unable to communicate. | |
Posted Apr 3rd, 2009 at 12:31PM I know how you feel, musicspirit. It seems hard to times to have a meaning conversation to people. I guess it depends on the situational. For me, I am just shy and I don't like to be first one to speak. @ Issac I can definitely relate to having that "mask". For me, I seem to be always saying "yeah" or "yeah, I agree", when I don't really mean it but it don't want to completely deviate from others. | |
