I wasn't sure about your last post, but this one tears it. Your funny. I LOLed. Well played.Thunderhorse31 said:
As for the topic= I listen to music, or play a video game, or do anything to distract myself. If my mind wanders I start thinking about depressing things. Keeps me awake most nights.
That should not have made me laugh as hard as it did.Cheveyo said:
OT: I don't, really. I slink off to my cold little corner, and pretend everything's all right and I'm happy while I die a little more inside.
I've been single for almost two years, I find it hard to bond with my family and my friends are all spread out.
for me, I got used to it. My advice @Cowabungaa is, your basically my age (minus two days), it should be easy for you. look around for social gatherings and just slowly work your way in, check the place out, see what people are like and if you feel you can meet people in that environment, go for it. Sometimes you need to just break out of your safe-zone.

Of course there is. If they meant the same thing, my sentence wouldn't make sense.MGlBlaze said:
I am alone most of the time. I have no real friends at uni. I live with my parents but hardly ever see them, spending all my time on my computer. I never go to parties. I have some really trusted friends, but I rarely hear from them. So I'm not completely alone, but pretty much.
Being "alone" in the physical sense - i.e. there's noone near you - is awesome. I can do what I want, I can be myself (or be someone else - see: video games, or reading a book), I can spend my time how I like or even just stare at a wall and think. Even when it's "alone" in the social sense - i.e., I'm surrounded by people but not interacting with them - it's still preferable. Because unless I've had time to build up a strong friendship, I'm just awkward around people. I don't want the complexity and pressure and confusion of talking to near-strangers.
So to conclude, I'm alone, but I don't get lonely. So, yes, there is a huge difference between the two.
Well, I do have some cats around my house... that's nice. For the most part I listen to music and browse the Escapist. Which is what I almost always do... but I enjoy it.
Um, music helps I guess. None of that emo "my life sucks" themed stuff though. Listening to sadness only serves to darken my mood. I prefer to listen to basic uplifting stuff. Like this:
It's good for almost any situation that's got me in a downer mood.
Also, masticating. For some reason, just chewing stuff always distracts me form my immediate depression!

I curl up into a ball with my security blanket and a prostitute.
