The turgid existence that I call life, fills me with anger, hatred and strife.

The people I know who are called friends, think I should be visiting them all time and drives me around the bend.

Many months go by without a visit or phone call. If I was to mention this to them when I visit them, they start to bawl.

I haven’t got any money the start groan, and I loaded I say as I start to moan.

So I stay in my little prison cell, alone in the dark and tell myself that it’s for the better, as if I believe that lark.

It should get better, no need to cry; at least I can look forward knowing, that one day I’ll die.

Beautiful poetry sir, If I may say so. Are you wanting to visit your friends or do you just not feel the need to?

I visit my friends all the time, they just don’t want to ever visit me. I spent a fortune on gadgets that they like but fill me with boredom. I just seemed to be permanently fed up these days.

If I may intrude - do you think they’re busy with work/personal things? Or are they managing their time horribly.

Everyone’s life is busy but to expect one person to chase after you all the time is going to dishearten him/her.

You’re absolutely right.

Have you mentioned any of this to them? Or, if not , how do you think they’ll react if you do tell them?

I have mentioned this to them and they side step the issue by say something like, you know how it is.

The trouble is that I just get angry and don’t bother them for a while, but when you live by yourself, it get depressing just relying on entertainment. No amount of games, movies, book, etc, can take to place of feeling like you are part of something.

They need to start acting like better friends. And…being only human, we don’t have “too much” control over how others should act :(. Though I can say this: rRegardless of how you approach it, they’re going to HAVE to hear you out. It was reasonable of you to become angry with them…they sidestepped an issue that was important to you. But next time you talk- THEY LISTEN and don’t change the subject. Put ‘em on the spot and make them be the friends they claim to be.

We help each other out and lift ourselves up. The chain is only as strong as the weakest link and I want everyone to feel good sometimes as well.

Now if only I could get myself a girlfriend I might feel more positive as well.

You’ll be fine, just don’t try and rush into a relationship. Let it flow naturally and you will be fine.

Just be yourself all the time, never change yourself for anyone and when you do fine the special one, you will feel like the luckiest man alive.

I’ve always been extremely shy :( So this first ‘relationship’ with this girl sent me on an emotional roller-coaster.

My “friends” live two blocks down the road and still insist that I always go to see them. Perhaps we both just need to suck it up and meet new people:/
