What I’ve discovered is that unless you are lucky enough to have either a healthy, functional family that loves each other and stays close, and/or find a partner who will love and stick with you, you are basically alone in this world. Friends, therapists, religious organizations, support groups, etc., are no substitute. If you don’t have at least one of the first two things I mentioned, you will basically be unhappy and alone until you die.

  1. I’m a solitary person, I’m happy in my life and what “I” am making of it. If I had to deal with a needy fuckwit like the OP, well I might just try to accelerate that lonely unhappy ending.

  2. I am sorry you feel that way. Definitely disagree. You can be alone and not lonely. You can also be surrounded by people and be incredibly lonely. Relationships of any kind are a two way street and involve energy and input and participation by both parties. Always.

  3. This kind of pathetic self-pity is understandable given the thousands of cultural messages we get every damn day to this effect. Understandable, but not the only option. Stage a rebellion, stop drinking the kool aide that looks mysteriously like piss. There are ways of valuing yourself outside of your relationships to other people.

  4. You can’t pick your family, but you can pick your friends. But if you can’t maintain friendships you are highly unlikely to find a partner that will stick with you till the end. Either way even if you are surrounded by friends and family and even a romantic partner you are always alone in this life and until you accept that fact you will continue to drive others away in an effort to substitute a true love of self.
