Is it normal to feel so alone?

I have no idea what the 21 question thing is, but I avoid websites like Facebook, and Twitter bores me. Facebook is great at making people feel alienated. People only post things which make them look good, such as photos of them at parties and with friends, you don't see many pictures of people sitting home and doing normal things.

Before I got rid of Facebook, I would so agree with you. I had friends on there who I rarely talked to. My News Feed was full of things they were doing and places they were going, while my friday night consisted of reading a book. That didn't really bother me much because I'm not a huge fan of parties, but I get why these places would make you feel lonely. People behave very strangely on Facebook.

I am sorry to hear you feel this way. Don't let people get you down with mean answers on 21 questions, there are better people out there that will like you and respect you for who you are!

Hell i'll be your friend!

*hugs*

The irony being that this is one of the most asked questions on the site, proving that you are in fact not alone in feeling alone :P

i hate facebook waste of time

Aside from my friends who are essentially the blind criticizing the blind for being unable to see, Facebook is cool for me. I often see shit like "BBW are real women, only real men can handle BBW, having kids makes you a real woman, all Christians are chicken shits" etc., but it doesn't phase me and it shouldn't phase you. Some people are straight up assholes that love to put others down to make themselves feel better about their insecurities and they can't keep their negativity to themselves. When it comes to people being hateful, it usually has more to do with their problems than it has to do with you.

The South Park episode about Facebook perfectly describes my feelings towards it.

I wish i knew u, i swear id invite u over and make u dinner! Sometimes its just hard to make friends, it tales a lot of time and effort. You are ok. Do not take it personally. It is something you can change when you are ready to.

I am the same way.

Same here. I've been like this for a while. Today it hit me harder than a pepsi truck.

as do I .

We're all very, very lonely people. Everyone feels lonely, just embrace it. Then you will understand, the feelings of solitude passes, along with your sadness. And then comes again, it's a cycle, which you have to for see for what it is.

I use Facebook to get news (I don't watch TV), or find cool pictures or stuff like that more than to socialize. When I want to connect to someone I usually call them on the phone, because the people that I want to socialize with are my real friends and I have their number or on skype (I have a few friends that are outside of the country), the other Facebook "friends" I speak or see once or twice in a year (or a few years) or I just have no interest in talking to them. I also have a few friends from different countries, and we have some things in common, but it's a great way to explore different cultures. It's totally normal for you to feel lonely. Almost everybody on FB is trying to make them selves look better, and almost no one cares about you. And I don't remember where I read it, and I don't know who said it, but "Being popular on Facebook is like sitting at the cool table in the cafeteria at a mental hospital". So just don't give a damn about the answers from the 21 questions thing, and live your life with your real friends and do whatever you want to. :):):)

I know I have posted a few things about my bf and his mom. Well I'm just being honest..I do not want a relationship with my bfs mom. In the past 5 months, the relatonship seems like it's being forced and slightly fake. I do not want to hurt her feelings by just saying it because when I have told her my feelings about how she treat me, she seem as if it flew over her head and honestly, some things just do not need to be said. I'm tired of feeling like I'm competing with her for the affectionate and time with my bf(her son.) I found it easier so far really relaxing and less stress not speaking to her or having to be pushed around by her or seeing my bf being suckered into things by her. I've been home now for two months bc I stayed their cor college. Me and her are definitely not on speaking terms because of an inccident that happened right before the day I was going home for the summer. She was ease dropping on my convo that I was having with my mom *to point out, in her home, there's no privacy, she is always budding her nose in things that do no concern her* Anyway she busted into the room saying that I need to get out of the relationship with her son of i'm not happy, she was really bi***y. My mom was like umm what was that about and i'm like I'll call you back mom. His mom slammed the door and tried to call my bf at his job but she didnt have the extension number plus he was calling my phone so i answered it and she overtalked me telling her son that she never get in our business but u done alot for this girl and thought u need to know that she isn't happy and i told her that she need to get out of the relationship, i told her do not disrespect me and I won't disrespect u. She then called me a lier saying that i was talking to her other sons gf about him lol it was so funny bc i just told his mom that i talked to her a few hours ago to see if she wanted to hang out. His mom overly exaggerates and is always trying to plee to her son that she is being the best mom that she can be and that she is doing everything for me and her other sons gf. A little history before I came into the picture..her other sons gf and her didn't get along to the point where she wanted to always control her sons and exclude the gfs by doing their laundry and wearing their underwear, take money from their wallets,..the list goes on. The other sons gf told me that she had to leave the home also because she couldn't take it watching their mom do all of those things and gossip then lie about it. I told her that I guess I won't be any different. So pretty much the mom talked about her other sons gf to her neice about how her parents are drunks and that's why she is a drunk(the gf) Her son(not my bf) called her and demanded that she apologized to his gf, then the mom started the whole crying thing like someone hurt her feelings. So the gf hasn't been back since because it has been more than that occasion that th mom has gossiped about her. Now again, I do not want a relationship with her because of my experiences with her and knowing that she has done that to her other sons gf and they've been together for 4 years..she isn't going to change. I've taken myself out of the circle and keeping the distance because I shoudln't have to deal with her ways especially if she think she's entitled to acting that way and we as gfs aren't suppose to call her out on it..bull crap.

I kno that feeling bro...
I wish i dont but i kno...
Remember:
Good things dont come to those who wait, good things come to those who bust their ass off allthe time and NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP...
I learnt this on hard way...

Gonna end up a big ole pile a them bones.

I know the annoying empty feeling. I am depressed right now, so I don't know what to say... but people try to bring those down who are above them, just keep that in mind about the 21 qs.

Yes me too, i deleted my facebook account cause i felt ignored by my family members.
