Excellent - that way you achieve a higher throughput (people alienated / hr)! Your total of PA will be higher, but your alienation quotient (people alienated / people met) might be lower some day. Maybe. I mean: certainly.

I find you to be a very interesting person, even if we havent interacted due to my fear to approach people when Im unsure of wether they want to be approached.

I would offer to start exchanging PMs but Im going through a weird phase where Im not appreciating my life right now(no real reason to complain, Im just not feeling happy doing things that used to make me happy and numbing things with beer) so Im not sure if you could benefit from talking with me.

Hope you're feeling cheered up by now and don't need me to say this, but I like you. :)

Thanks spongy and blueroses.

I think I'm going to have to learn to let go of this desire for love/sex and human connection. I think I can't even begin to be happy if I care too much about these things. I look back on my life and I'm nearly 27 and I've only had minuscule amounts of human connection. I just think that's the pattern my life runs to. Other people have the same things, most people are less lonely than me but some are even more lonely. I'm going to die and before that happens I'm going to be lonely for the vast majority of my life. I'm having trouble accepting that but I think I will eventually. Some things just take time and I guess 27 years is quite a long time but still not long enough to come to terms with something as major as the human condition.

Frankly, I doubt you can let go of those desires - you may be able to ignore them though, which I'm not sure is an idea I would support. The prospect of living the majority of your life in loneliness can't feel good, and I wonder if you're sure you have explored all options to feel more connected (although I'm not sure if you're mainly talking about physical connection or mental, or both).

You've had a lot of people tell you they like you in this thread, so if I may ask: does this feel too superficial to you, or is it just not helping much because those people aren't actually in your life?

It has helped me, don't think I'm ungrateful. I would be more lonely if I couldn't connect to people online. Just wish I could do it more in real life. I wish too hard, though, which makes hell for myself.
