    Hello people :slight_smile:

    I was surfing the Internet when I came across the Youtube video above.

    I was really surprised because the video (up till 1.48 mins) resembled my life 100%. I had a doubt whether they captured my life story haha.

    There's a small difference though. In the video, the lonely person managed to be friends with the other guy. However for me, I have tried making friends with some people in real life but they were not interested and left me.

    Sometimes, I do wonder if i am meant to be alone all my life and that is the bitter truth for my life.

    But I still try to be my positive cheerful self and mix around with people, hoping that bitter truth will change.

    I mean, there is no harm for me to try right? :icon_wink

    (I'm sry for coming up with this negative thread. I felt very down and sad after watching that video.)

    No, nobody is meant to be alone!! You can and WILL find some friends... just keep putting yourself out there and trying different methods to meet people. Try online sites, try joining activities and sports, volunteering.

    You might be looking for the wrong kinds of people . Look for people with similar interests/situations to yourself. Good luck!
    And remember you always have this online community to turn to.

    Thanks for your kind words Emmanuella :slight_smile: Probably I was approaching the wrong kind of people. Will try socialising more. :slight_smile:

    Yes - I like the video but a bit close to my own life
    ("no new messages - at all" .. sigh)

    But the truth is, you have to work at these things. People will not find you if you keep yourself to yourself.

    Also I see your status.. "not out at all" and think that if you made some changes there .. something amazing may happen (thinks… whoop, fireworks, rainbows, pot of gold)

    If you hide 90% of yourself away … people will not see the real lovely you !!

    It's a little stupid to base your success socially on the number of likes you get on a selfie. But to me the idea of a selfie is stupid anyway. Just another trend-embraced thing so I don't participate in it. Why connect to a bunch of people who wouldn't understand me in the first place. Just leave me the f*** alone, I can find who I want to talk to and if I can't it means there is no such person! Doesn't matter if they're just not accessible to me.

    It doesn't make you colorless, not even metaphorically. It just shows your way of life/value system /thinking/etc... is vastly different from the majority, or as some like to call it "the norm".
