I feel so lonely...

Hi there...

I'm currently taking a year off, so I'm neither at school nor at university. What I might call my "friends" are basically just acquaintances, people whom I meet frequently, with whom I have fun, but with whom I don't share any kind of more profound relationship. I don't have a best friend. I don't have a girlfriend and have actually only had "affairs", nothing on long-term (ie more than 1 month). I just feel so lonely, I simply realise that theres no one who really cares about me (well,my family does, but thats another thing, you understand...). At the moment I occasionally meet people, we go out, meet for a drink, but I didn't have a nice evening for a couple of months now...
I just don^t know how I should meet people who are truly interested in me (although I am generally a very outgoing person).

Anyway...thanks for reading my self-pitying lines.
cheers

Cheer up, you never know when you might meet someone you connect with, as long as you don't spend your whole life indoors it's bound to happen.

Try to turn some of those acquaintances into friends.

You know, it's not that I was literally lonely. If I want I can see my "friends". What I lack are people with whom I could share my experience as a human being (highly philosophical:wink: sorry), my passions. Awm...I don't know. It's just a sort of crisis Im going through.
All I want are good friends, who are not superficial, who care as much about me as I do (and I DO care about others). :s-smilie:

Most people feel they don't share a special bond with anyone.
