the first 20 yrs of our lives is the most meaningful and enjoyable.
it gets more difficult with each passing year.
the last 20 yrs is mostly the worst, unless you are healthy and wealthy. -
the last 20 is about the time u gonna die...

Well, you can't control how people think and instead of whining about how unfortunate you are cos people are not nice enough to you - appreciate those who are, regardless of how few they may be. It isn't a numbers game, you aren't going to win a competition of how many good friends you have.Originally posted by twiggies:but i never expect anything back. at least a 'thank you' will do. you know, gratitude. but some people just took me for granted. indeed, i have many friends. different kind of friends.
However, initiative plays a very big part. Go join some courses. Learn something new. Volunteer your time at a welfare organisation. Join SDS activities just to make friends. Accept that people have a life in which you may not be a top priority - don't take every rejection of spending time with you as an indication of not liking you.
I am telling you this because I agree with you - loneliness CAN kill. My uncle committed suicide because he was lonely. He was probably a little autistic, had no friends he could relate to, and slowly as he grew older, he could not keep a job and he stayed at home more and more and eventually completely lost touch with society. Eventually he could see no purpose in living anymore. We missed all the signs because he complains a lot all the time. And then finally it was too late. Loneliness? Because he had a toy helicopter, and when he died, my grandma put it on the table, and the worn wheels was what struck a chill in my heart when suddenly I had an image of him sitting in the room looking at the helicopter go round and round, over and over again.
You, on the other hand are not autistic, and it isn't too late to make a difference to your own life. Stop complaining and give yourself and other people a chance. Take control of your life because you can. You really really can. -
