I hate being single. I hate it. I know it's illogical...But, people keep staring at me...And I just keep thinking that they somehow know everything about my pathetic love life. Paranoid, I know. I hate this feeling...This feeling of being unloved and lonely. I guess it's now a psycological malfunction, huh? Therapists are always talking about how people need other people to validate them. I don't really think it's that with me though...It's more like...I thought I'd found the real thing...And, if even for a moment, it was the most amazing feeling in the world...It was a feeling of passion, affection, and...LOVE. And suddenly, it's gone. Suddenly I'm told everything I was feeling was a lie...But, I know it wasn't... I don't know how any of this connects. I'm rambeling. Stupid me. I'm just...So alone. So isolated from everyone...I don't know if I feel the same things they do, if I'm normal...Or if I'm just some freak. It feels like the latter. I can't imagine anyone else feeling this way. I almost never feel like I'm with somebody...I can be in a giant crowd...But, feel like there isn't anyone but myself near. I want to feel close to someone...I want to feel like there is someone else in the universe who understands. All these people around me...They keep telling me they know what I'm going through, they tell me they went through the same thing and they understand my pain...How can they? I don't even understand it. What do I have to be pained about? And how can they know what I'm going through? WHAT AM I GOING THROUGH? This isn't normal teenage...Everyone else I've talked with...They tell me it isn't. They tell me what I'm feeling is wrong...I have no reason to feel this way...I know I don't. But, that doesn't stop it. I just want someone who can reach through the impentrable wall that seperates me from the rest of the world. Not necessarily a lover...A friend would do wonderfully. I just need someone...I hate being so alone...It hurts.
