Has Anyone ever felt sad and lonely?

*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?

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.

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!

) 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!

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.

 

this drives me mad with desire!
i need help!
