sometimes I feel out of place with the world. like I am always the in-between friend. people move on and I am left feeling lonely. I try not to get down by all the inconsistencies of friendships. after all, people are entitled to their time how they rest or what they do in the day. but I always thought to myself, "wouldn't it be great to just have a friend I can always talk to?" I miss texting someone like that. I always feel like I have to back off or I am over playing myself in people's life. it's hard.

      I totally agree Noir. Life is about the Journey and there is always pain on the journey but there is joy also Be WellšŸŒŗ

      I have almost always felt like a misfit. Like I donā€™t really ā€œfitā€ anywhere. I long for connection and yet at the same time I live a very isolated life. I finally found an acceptance within myself that I want to live a life of more balance. Canā€™t seem to believe I will have an outside relationship that will be anymore fulfilling than the relationship I develop with myself. If that makes any sense. I wish you all the best in finding those precious moments of joy that pass through our lives as friendships and send peaceful loving thoughts for enduring those dark places in between. Hope you find some beauty in this day. Be WellšŸŒŗ

      I've felt the same way. I know this might sounds cliche but I was lonely for a very long time after accepting Jesus as my savior and receiving the Holy Spirit. Very very lonely, not realizing or understanding that God promised to never leave me nor forsake me. I finally realized I'm never alone. Not even when I had to check myself into a mental health facility for major depression did He leave me. He loves you, You are loved. I love you. One thing is for sure, I finally enjoy and actually need my alone time. One thing I remember doing was stopping trying to make friends and just trusting that God would bring the right people into my life. I always choose the wrong friends anyway...sorry if I am rambling or gave unwanted advice, I just really know the feeling of being lonely, and the inconsistencies that you described. Hope it helps.

        @shedidit somehow the right people come into your life and these little hiccups or changes is just life making room for better bonds. At least I try to see it that way.
