Lonely.

---

I never really realized just how lonely I was, it's strange, I generally don't like being around people. And a lot of time I hang out with large groups of people, even for days.My folks had some company come in and stay for a week though, they had a lil 13 almost 14 year old daughter. And she decided she liked me, so she basically clung to me.Everything was innocent, I noticed while she was around me and we played games and watched movies and such for the week. I was pretty happy, which isn't usually my setting. My night terrors were also gone while she was around.Shame though, she's gone now, 800 miles away and the night terrors are back.Ironic thought. It took just spending some innocent time with someone a fair bit younger than me to realize just how bad a lot of my "friends" treat me and neglect me and use me... I'm mostly just venting.just wondering if anyone else runs into issues of being used/mistreated by people.

Good friends can do so much good for our mental health. Perhaps its because she she didn't take you for granted?There was the advantage of novelty, of course. When people have known each other for a long time, they do tend to take each other for granted.

I see.

I just want to remark that some of my closest friends have been much younger or older than me... peers can be cruel. I really don't like the funny looks you can get when hanging out with someone who isn't your age like it's supposed to be "inappropriate". These times are strange. If you have a friend who is a kid, and you make each other happy, there's nothing wrong with that. It's not like you have selfish or creepy motives. Loneliness is a weird emotion, and I think you should do everything in your power to combat it. Everyone, no matter how much of a lone wolf they think they are, needs friends. If you have fun and feel like yourself around this girl, then make plans to hang out again or send her an e-mail. It would be a shame to lose a good friend, especially if your peers mistreat you.

We r so much alike I guess. I feel the same way all the time. Hopefully if u r spiritual read your bible to get u through things in life. And pray to god that no night terrors come
