Do you ever feel alone or on your own?

Question

At times I look and wonder what happen to everyone. Lately I have been all alone I have pushed all my friends away and now that I need them there's no one to be found I know I let them down and I though I wanted the world to leave me alone but now that it has I don't think I can do any more. I finally relized I can't take it. People tell me talk to God but I can't even do that its like I'm trapped. All I can think of is to run as far as I can to start over.

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes, that happens sometimes. You don't need to run and start over. Just start being a good friend again and you will get your friends back. A person who has friends must first show himself friendly. God is always there, but sometimes you need a physical being to share with as well. Reach out to someone and you will be surprised how much it will help. A week of that, your thoughts will not be where they are now.

Answer 3

sometimes I feel all alone...sometimes I just want to be alone and that's what i'll tell my friends...when I feel alone I always just find some quiet time and read out my bible. It's kinda like a reminder to confide in God and not in man. Once I have read some inspirational verses from my bible and some of my other inspirational books...i always feel so uplifted! I kinda feel alone tonight b/c someone who I thought was a true friend to me betrayed me but I know that this is expected of man and God will never do that!

Answer 4

Ah, asking questions that get good responses isn't really ordinary, huh? besides, it really is the blessing and the curse of being an introspective type. You study about your self, yet that pulls you remote from being a classic "human." You develop into otherworldly. you spot those who are not all that introspective -- say volunteer firefighters, as a wide celebration -- have a zillion acquaintances and hordes take position at their funerals? for individuals like us, as a lot as we imagine we accomplish, we is in simple terms no longer in a position to finish that. Being cared for by more suitable than per chance one or 2 human beings. Our funerals will be carefully attended, and those who attend will ask your self why they're there. it really is the cost of wondering.

Answer 5

We all need a hand from time to time. It sounds like you're in a very low point in your life. Maybe one of your lowest. I hope you would consider talking to a counsellor (or even your family doctor) about the possibility that you might be suffering from depression. This is a medical condition that isn't just "the blues" but is a chemical imbalance inside your head that can be easily treated. I hope you would consider that option.

Answer 6

Yes, yes I do. Friends do help, yes, but that feeling is always there for me. I really can't honestly say how to get rid of it. In fact, I've felt like this for some time, and I must admit, I like the feeling of being alone. Even the feeling of depressed feels oddly good. People like me more when I'm depressed, usually from feeling alone and meaningless. I'm, they say, funnier. They like that, and I like that they get a laugh. I can't say how it is for you, but for me, it is a sick feeling of liking of being alone, depressed, and feeling empty and meaningless.

A happy-sad rant, isn’t?

Answer 11

"There was once a lover who had sighed for long years in separation from his beloved, and wasted in the fire of remoteness. From the rule of love, his heart was empty of patience, and his body weary of his spirit; he reckoned life without her as a mockery, and time consumed him away. How many a day he found no rest in longing for her; how many a night the pain of her kept him from sleep; his body was worn to a sigh, his heart's wound had turned him to a cry of sorrow. He had given a thousand lives for one taste of the cup of her presence, but it availed him not. The doctors knew no cure for him, and companions avoided his company; yea, physicians have no medicine for one sick of love, unless the favor of the beloved one deliver him.

At last, the tree of his longing yielded the fruit of despair, and the fire of his hope fell to ashes. Then one night he could live no more, and he went out of his house and made for the marketplace. On a sudden, a watchman followed after him. He broke into a run, with the watchman following; then other watchmen came together, and barred every passage to the weary one. And the wretched one cried from his heart, and ran here and there, and moaned to himself: "Surely this watchman is Izra'il, my angel of death, following so fast upon me; or he is a tyrant of men, seeking to harm me." His feet carried him on, the one bleeding with the arrow of love, and his heart lamented. Then he came to a garden wall, and with untold pain he scaled it, for it proved very high; and forgetting his life, he threw himself down to the garden.

And there he beheld his beloved with a lamp in her hand, searching for a ring she had lost. When the heart-surrendered lover looked on his ravishing love, he drew a great breath and raised up his hands in prayer, crying: "O God! Give Thou glory to the watchman, and riches and long life. For the watchman was Gabriel, guiding this poor one; or he was Israfil, bringing life to this wretched one!"

Indeed, his words were true, for he had found many a secret justice in this seeming tyranny of the watchman, and seen how many a mercy lay hid behind the veil. Out of wrath, the guard had led him who was athirst in love's desert to the sea of his loved one, and lit up the dark night of absence with the light of reunion. He had driven one who was afar, into the garden of nearness, had guided an ailing soul to the heart's physician."

(Baha'u'llah, The Seven Valleys, p. 13)

This is an allusion of man's love for God...
