Have you ever met anyone as alone as you are?

[AstroV]

And would you want to?

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

There's people far more alone then me - Though I'm pretty alone

 

[VKVK]

I've seen some of them around, but never talked or got close to them. I still feel like I'm in a worse boat than most I've met. In that regard (loneliness), at least.

I'm not sure I'd like to meet them. I would end up falling for them in half a minute after sharing the same dreadful feeling that I keep locked throughout my whole life and others use it against me in the rare occasions I tell them about it. (partners)

 

[MeltedJello]

In real life? Never have, but yes, I definitely want to meet someone similar. Preferably someone who I've seen before, like a stranger from high school or something. Just curious what the experience would be like.

 

[Maaizr]

no, never met anyone who's as alone as i am and i dont think i really care to either - other people have never helped with the feeling, they're never really as alone as they say they are and people just annoy me anyway, haha

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Yes, my reflection!

 

[demuic]

Only on SS.

In real life, everyone else always seems to be surrounded by people. Or even anywhere else online, it's still seen as a personal failure and worthy of mockery if you have no friends or close family.

I guess all the people like me are also holed up in their rooms, so we will probably never meet.

 

[Olorin]

Never. I guess they never leave their homes. Other than me of course. I wonder why do I even bother trying to be normal.

 

[Marktheghost]

No. Yes.

 

[Circles]

Not in real life and I doubt most people would confess how alone they are in real life anyway cause I sure wouldn't. I've only heard it from other people online. And in books or even the authors like Fernando Pessoa who wrote the Book of Disquiet which is a collection of his writings and thoughts over his lifetime and he's talked about how alone he was for most of his life even till he died.

 

[$nowLeopard]

There are millions of people in the world more lonely then Mez probably mostly elderly (sadly).
Around my age I've met a guy who I feel bad for.

 

[coal-light]

Yes, I tend to attract people like this, the brooding, dramatic and impulsive type. Like me. The funny thing is that it becomes very draining, very fast IRL, but online it's a lot more tolerable.

 

[fatmanatee]

Yes. I met a person and I dated her. She was pretty alone and hurt. She proceeded to kick me in the face repeatedly, then stabbed me in the back and left me for dead. So, yea I did.

 

[Eric Draven]

How's this for alone:

Parents - both dead
Brother / sister- none
Other family - all have disowned me
Friends - either dead or moved abroad

The only human interaction I get is when I pick my meds up from the pharmacy. Oh, and when the delivery guy brings my groceries once a month.

 

[Maaizr]

How's this for alone:

you can have both of your parents, plenty of siblings and all of the "friends" and "support systems" you want and still feel empty and completely alone, its not even about who you've got.. it sucks no matter what and its definitely not a competition

 

[grungeCat]

Yes. We even made friends with each other but for a short time. Currently we're not friends anymore. We haven't talked for few years.

 

[Rational man]

I've know people with many friends but they we're still lonely. I like being alone because ive become disassociated with the world.

 

[LonelyBrazilian]

In real life, I've never met someone lonely like me who has never had friends or love affairs, but online I've talked to many lonely people like me.

 

[Fish Face]

No, but my experience of people is so bad I don't think I care.

 

[FuneralCry]

I do not meet people, but how alone you are is a feeling inside and there is no way of ever knowing how others truly feel. I am very much alone, I am isolated and disconnected from everything, but that is the way I want to be. If I felt anything otherwise it would feel wrong.

 

[AstroV]

Yes, I tend to attract people like this, the brooding, dramatic and impulsive type. Like me. The funny thing is that it becomes very draining, very fast IRL, but online it's a lot more tolerable.

Yeah that's what gets me. I'd love to think we could meet people similar to us and hit it off. Maybe even help each other. But I guess it would be pretty depressing. I don't know..

 

[Starryeyes]

Yes. Those people went on to ending their life. I miss them :(

 

[AstroV]

Yes. We even made friends with each other but for a short time. Currently we're not friends anymore. We haven't talked for few years.

Why aren't you friends anymore?

 

[grungeCat]

Why aren't you friends anymore?

I don't know... when we graduated from the school he just broke contact. He stopped replying to my messages and writing anything. I guess I'm too boring and/or off-putting to be a friend in a long run.

 

[Midgardsorm]

Not in real life. Neither somewhere else on internet. Only here.

 

[HeckingHecked]

It's a new trend to pretend you have no friends for social points, so it's EXTREMELY unlikely. It's about as likely as scientists finding proof of a God.

 

[Crazy4u]

NOPE. I feel so vulnerable because I am lonely. I have never met anyone like this

 

[MelancholyMagic]

Not in real life. At least in terms of "meeting", like talking with them and all that. I'm sure I've walked passed some people more alone than me like in the grocery store during my occasional night shopping. But I have met people online who are more alone than I.
Would I want to? Probably not in real life - maintaining relationships (of any form, not just romantic) is hard for me. Online? Eh it could be ok. Depends on the person.

 

[wanttogetonthebus]

Not anyone offline.
