Dunno what's wrong with me tonight, I just suddenly feel totally alone and as if I am invisible to everyone and don't matter. It doesn't matter the place, I find I still am an outsider and cannot make many friends or find any sort of closeness with anyone. Maybe I am too old or something, or too formal, or too cold, or too ugly, or too something or other.
No! You are not ugly! You are not too formal, merely courteous. And thirty one is not old, only six years more experience than me at twenty five. You have a wonderful personality. Try telling that to a sense of loneliness and depression though. Emotions refuse to listen to reason. Mine are as bad. Still, being devoid of emotion would bring not only immunity to suffering, but inability to experience any joy either (witness the Cybermen; on second thoughts, I hope you are not witnessing any). Of course a capacity for emotion does not necessarily mean all that much actual joy, but the potential is there. Sorry if none of this is particularly helpful; I hope some of it brings a smile, if not outride hysterical laughter at my folly.
