Lonely

Loneliness is like the 5 stages of grief. That's how it feels: Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance. Only instead of getting better as you go through stages you get worse. Stage 1: “It’s just a phase” “Someone is going to talk to me.” “Everybody goes through a rough patch.” Imagine I were lonely for instance. I'd start looking for someone to blame in my anger. I blam my parents for switching schools; that’s the reason I never made a friend. I blame cell phones for corrupting todays values but soon Stage 3: “If I just, spent some more time outside I would be more social” “If I just joined some group activities - took some classes, everybody would naturally be pals” “If I just go up to someone and start a conversation…” It may take a while but I'll try everything “What if I just, stand in the middle of a field and yell ‘I’m lonely somebody help me!’” Most people go through depression now and then; imagine yourself depressed in utter sadness. Now imagine that with no shoulder to cry on; no one to help you get through your sorrow And no one to blame. However depression is not the worst stage. Because once you accept the fact that you will be lonely forever and there’s nothing you can or should do about it then there is no escaping it. In any other stage someone could pull you out of that bottomless pit of despair but, acceptance is brutal. A life here would be boring pursuits of going from point A to point B, and watching my favorite T.V. shows.
