Has Anyone ever felt sad and lonely?

[sargentlard]

Has anyone here ever just wanted to be alone because they were sad. Sad about nothing in Particular, or something was really bothering them. Please share your experiences. I have seen many sides of people on this forum and this will be another that i want to observe ( well through your writing anyway). Be as Frank or as reluctant as you like.

[Nebula]

Who hasn't?

I prefer to be alone most of the time anyway, even when I'm not sad. Actually, when I'm sad I tend to want to hang out with other people.

What am I saying? I'm a rock; I don't get sad. See? :D

[purple_hairstreak]

yeah, i guess most people have....including me.

[shadowpuppet]

you can be sad, butlifes too short for that. i havent once had anything good come just from me being sad.

[Tyler]

No. Never. I've not once been depressed, sad, down or any other negative emotion. Not once.

[Nebula]

Tyler, that is so sad :(.

[Xev]

Never. Psychotically suicidal? Yes. Full of self-hating fury? Yes. Destructively miserable? Yes.

But never "just sad"

No. Never. I've not once been depressed, sad, down or any other negative emotion. Not once. I think this can be a bad thing! If you don't address issues and therefore don't deal with them and 'let it out' it shows! These people are usually very 'dizzy' shall we say. lads too! I can think of two perfect examples who I work with: they are always jolly and making jokes etc but they have got issues. Hey live and let live I say! I don't want to be the one to burst their bubble and show them the truth. The longer it goes on the more foolish they look. :(

p.s. the jokes etc shows thei true character i.e. the things they laugh at say everything: which relates to a couple of other threads.

Personally I don't get 'sad' as such but that's probably becuase when i start to feel 'sad' I do something to cheer myself up and to get myself in the 'right' frame of mind. Hey I'll have time to feel sad (if i want to) when i'm retired and have nothing to do all day except think about the past (and smoke bush :D ) . As for now it's not worth thinking about. I have thought about it too much in the past and decided it's not for me :D . Besides I have noticed that those who are 'high' usually are missing something or have some kind of defect! I think it's good to keep oneself grounded. Being grounded is more stable!

I Am A Rock(Simon and Garfunkel)

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need for friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I'd never loved,
I never would have cried

I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no-one and no-one touches me

I am a rock
I am an island
And the rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

[Joeman]

I feel sad about people who feel sad.

[Bebelina]

Being a swedish woman and all, I often feel very sad and lonely and empty...but beautiful. :rolleyes:

[moonman]

Don't worry swedish guys are also very empty. Everyone is.;)

[Bebelina]

Oh, but what is it that they should be full of then, that you think everybody is lacking? Especially the swedish women, who are oh sooo empty and sad.

[sargentlard]

It's nice to see that you guys are actually human...after seeing some your posts in science forums and other places you seem to scare me. It's cool that you guys get sad (not that it's cool to get sad but you know what i mean). Feel free to also post if you ever get happy.

[Pollux V]

*pats belly* Nope, no I'm actually quite content. I'm somewhat confused. You see, a great deal of the people I know are swamped in homework and often spend their whole days and nights out of school working on it. This need to sacrifice so much free time has never happened to me, and I have been taking most of the hardest courses for sophomores. And I do fine, even "fairly good" in school. I don't get it. Why are they slaving away while I am here talking about it? Aye?

Why are they slaving away while I am here talking about it? Aye? Maybe your grades aren't as good as theirs. Do you pay any attention? They all get marked by one person who is bound to be prejudiced in some way, towards everyone. I'd pay more attention to what you want to get out of the course.

:eek: ooh...now that's really sad......i'd rather be hurt than not feel at all. at least when i feel hurt or sad, i know i can still feel and that i'm still human!

You seem to take this a bit personaly, obviously I don't mean that because you are a woman and born in a certain geographical area you are automaticaly empty. It's just how I experience our culture and society. Besides I didn't say Swede's were sad, most are content and don't complain. But standing quiet and lonely in a line waiting my turn in solitude I can't help wondering. Often people seem to 'lack' (I don't like the word in this context) is a zest for life, or they have an ambiguety of purpouse in a sense. Everything in our government and respectively society is about equality, though short of extreme left socialist democrasy(and a great concept in it's self in many ways), I think it's going beyond the line and the sense of individuality is fading in many prospects. It's ok to be different to some extent in our culture, but for example when I tell people that I spend my spare time in meditation and introspection they look at me as if I am being sarcastic.

So I my mind it's not just empty words that I am blathering. To me this is how I feel about our culture, of course you will see the world in another way.

Psst... They make pills for that. :)

Actually, it's perfectly normal at times to feel depressed or sad, what's NOT normal is to have these feelings all the time. I know that some of you may be going thru hormone changes due to your ages (I know because I was once a teenager too!:eek: ) but if there is more depression than happy times, I would talk to someone about how you are feeling. May make a WORLD of difference!

Good luck! :)

[creamsoda]

Yes. In fact, I want to die. But first, I need to die happy.

First I'd like to say that Simon and Garfunkel's "I Am a Rock" is an awesome song.

Staying on topic, I think everyone gets sad and depressed they just react in different ways. Personally I drown myself into an unreality trough music, television or movies, or just by sleeping. I find every way I can to not feel the pain of life, I just live it and try not to dwell on anything too long.

Jeepers, sounds more like you simply "exist" rather than "live". I can relate though with the music part changing your whole perspective. I tend to do that myself from time to time. Music changes my outlook at times and can either depress me or uplift me - depending on the choice of music I grab. :)

Moonman, I was just teasing you for the sad statement you made.
If you see it that way, then you do.
But you are partly right about Swedes, they are very introspective, but pretend they aren't. Like it's something shameful. It's ok to let your mind wander while you stand in a line, but admitting that you on purpose would put yourself in meditative state is often seen as a waste of time.
But as always things are constantly changing, even people.
