3. yes, and it all depends on the crowd
for example, i tend to feel alone in a crowd of my peers here in my small town... even with my so called "friends". i'm an outgoing person who will talk to just about anyone, but it's hard to really connect with people. it's sad when you don't even like your friends, lol. when i go elsewhere though, i tend to not feel that way.. and it's another reason i tend to gravitate to older people - i enjoy their company and conversation more than most of my generation. still though... even with that crowd it seems SO RARE that you find someone with similar interests and traits. it's one of the reasons i have few friends.. even fewer "true friends".. and why i don't date. hopefully when i get out of here it'll be better, though i'm sure even in a big city or campus atmosphere it's hard to find someone you can really connect with.

*sigh* we should have a big pity party :P ;)

4. All the time
Although I think a lot has to do with being deaf.

Incubus.

Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly,
count your blessings, seduce a stranger.
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal.
When will we learn? When will we change?
Just in time to see it all fall down.
Those left standing... will make millions...
writing books on the way it should have been.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
we are like frogs oblivious to the water starting to boil.
No one flinches, we all float face down.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

:hug:

6. Yes indeed, it all depends on the attitude and mood
I go into the room in

If I'm stuck inside myself I am lonely, not alone, if I'm able to focus outside myself, I'm not lonely, and I'm not alone.

:hi:
