Perhaps it is the result of one of those lying voices in our heads that need constant reordering to keep the negativity from taking over our sense of well-being. I have chosen to be more alone than most, no spouse or significant other, and only a few friends, and most of the time it doesn't bother me. I have noticed that when it does bother me, it bothers me in ways that I can address, by looking for the mind-reading, assumption-laden lies that make me depressed and rob me of the good in life. I need to always return to my cognitive therapy to talk back to the lies and assumptions and find a more positive probability for other people's behaviors and remember always that other people are seldom as concerned with worrying about other people because they are too wrapped up in their own self-made miseries to be focused on others. The pendulum swing can only stay high on one side before turning to the other. Have patience- the ride to the next high will be just as interesting.Blue Flaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118977746322862580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996945413566986585.post-50804628460838933992012-04-23T18:18:20.584-07:002012-04-23T18:18:20.584-07:00Loved the poem.

I can be in a crowded room with family and friends then suddenly feel this terrible sense of loneliness creeping in, and I have no idea why that happens. I have not had a "special" best gal pal in many years, and sometimes I think that adds to the sense of loneliness. I have tons of friends, some that I guess you would consider "close", but no one that I feel I can be 100% honest and open with at all times. I think in your situation you haven't found the right gal pal there that you have that 100% connection with, which is why you probably still feel alone even when you're with your girlfriends. And yes, I think that we writers are also in our own little worlds sometimes and often feel disconnected because we feel that others cannot understand us or relate to what we're feeling. I recently joined Facebook and oddly enough enjoy the connections I have made there. I don't have to go out on the town with these people but I can talk about all sorts of stuff, reminisce and laugh over silly comments. It just feels right and comfortable to me. And now blogging-I've met some wonderful people here from all over the world who think similarly, and are becoming like a family to me.<br />Hope some of this helped. I do enjoy reading your blog!menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996945413566986585.post-81431259718443428042012-04-13T12:37:08.724-07:002012-04-13T12:37:08.724-07:00Good advice here!
