Like the man can help if he is depressed. Maybe he has legitimate reasons and needs a helping hand and a hug.

If people have problems with him then they need to speak up or just accept him for whatever good qualities he might have.

Also there is nothing wrong with being a loner at all. It was forced upon you and now you've got to make the best out of it.

I've been pretty much the same way my entire life,it must be others who have changed.
Btw I don't buy into that whole deal about people always wanting to be around 'happy' 'upbeat' people,where I come from we were always just genuine and most of the 'cheery' people seemed fake to me. Besides,being around depressed people actually makes me feel like I've got it more together

Hon just because your alone doesnt mean you have to be lonely. Some of us are just introverts. I used to think the same as you but then I thought about it. And I realized I wouldnt be happy as the life of the party. Then Id be crabbin cause I couldnt get any peace cause nobody would let me alone.

Sometimes who you are is just fine, Just cause somebody else is happy doing something it doesnt mean you will be. Im by myself a lot. Im fine with it.

I know all that and I don't long to be the life of the party or anything,it's just Sometimes it would be nice to hear a familiar voice or see a familar face. It gets tiring being out in the cold world after awhile.

Are you eating candy corn right now? Seriously, eating tons of sweets make me feel whole and self actualized. lol. The only problem is working off the tummy blubber that can grow.

Must be some sort of fate or something,all I know is I haven't had anything like that happen in so long I can't even remember.

It always puts things in perspective when something like that happens,and why we are the way we are today. It must be either where I'm from or a guy thing,b/c when I used to come across people I used to know they either pretended they didn't know me or we had a brief conversation and that was it. Even guys I used to be buddies with in school don't even respond.
That's why I started to turn inward at a young age and how that seems to have affected me socially to this day,I just don't bother anymore. Sad really.

Count yourself lucky having too my friends can be a PITA.

I don't have many friends either BTW
