What people mean when they say that is that.... you are not enguaged in the depth of social interplay that many people feel is a key part of of life.

Sure you can have your own thoughts about different matters, but without the ability to take in and....think about....the views of others, your brain simply does not get the rich kind of activity that comes as a result of dealing back and forth with the thoughts, views, and emotions of others.

Also, you get valuable feedback about yourself, and your own sense of things as a result of having friends to talk with. You can test out your feelings about your "life experience" as well, as a part of that kind of "give and take".

So while you may indeed have a rich and rewarding inner life of your own, at the same time you miss out on the mental challenge... and some would say spiritual rewards...that comes with the interplay of stepping outside of your own inner world.

On top of all that....there is the important spirtual issue of "connection". Feeling truely connected to others in a safe and trusting manner is a very important aspect of being human.

So.....relationships, and what they both give and demand of us, has something to do with experiencing the full complexity of what we are capable of as humans, I think.

Relationships have the potential to just make our life......much richer.

And even just one trusted friend can make all the difference.

you do have friend and relationshipd you just dont take note of the people that want to be your friends. mabey your looking past the people that really care about you and your looking at the people that pay you no attention. i think that the relationships you have with people are unsaticfing to you and your looking for more than a relationship that will last for a day. mabey you should open up to people and not push them away when they try to talk to you. your not really missing out on anything, something is just holding you back from being in a serious relationship with someone. be more open minded and friendly and mabey some one really cool will come your way!
