One day I hope I can stop being completely stoic and sarcastic, have a complete emotional breakdown with the person I love, and not completely terrify them. Well if you did it then I can toAnkaraTheFallen said:This was how I used to deal with it as well, and still do when my gf is away. But when I met her I completely broke down and let everything out, to this day I'm amazed I didn't scare her off.Ja-lex said:I cope with the crippling lonlieness of life by rubbing a cheese grater against my head.
And eating tons of ice-cream.
Sometimes i combine the two for an ice-cream eating head-grating BONANZA!
Of course not!
What i really do is hide behind a chirpy persona and make sarcastic jokes to mask my severe depression.
SMILES ALL ROUND
Huzzah for hope!
eeeeeeeat! food is soooooo goooood. unless whats making you depressed is your weight. in which case, don't eeeeeeeeeat.
when you're done eating, go on the internet and look up pictures of starving children. then laugh at how great your life is.

No music, 'cuz it makes me even sadder (Once I was listening to Pain, and I got even more depressed, go figure)
No gaming, 'cuz I get distracted, like, a lot. I don't pay attention to the story, and get killed A LOT.
No masturbation, 'cuz it's REALLY hard for me to "perform" while I'm sad, sometimes I just can't. No joke.
No reading, 'cuz I don't like reading. Whoops.
No going out, 'cuz I hate going out.
That leaves "Hang out" and "Talk to friends" on the table, and that's what I do. It usually does the trick, but lately I've had a bad streak of "bad encounters" with friends, and I can't open up to them, it's frustrating and depressing (oh, the irony).
I've probably heard everything people have to say, and I pretty much know everything is optimistic bullshit, but if being blissfully ignorant is what makes me carry on, then so be it. I try not to question my motives that often.

I am far from a depressed person, I outgrew that stage of my life, but when I do feel depressed, I cure it with a large dose of Devin Townsend.
For reference:
Couldn't listen to this song from start to finish and still feel depressed, even if I wanted(?) to.

I cope with it perfectly. I've grown up without brothers and sisters which makes me very well capable of entertaining myself. I can stay in my room for over a week just enjoying myself, making music, designing stuff, drawing.
Meditation, working out, going for a run with my dog, gaming, playing my bass/guitar or 'working out' with my girlfriend
Why, I post on the Escapist of course! How else can I trick myself into thinking that I have interaction with other humans, and therefore lessen the pain of loneliness, eh?
Playing video games that take forever to beat, or have a really good thought provoking story.
Sleep for the whole day, or that may just be being a depressed little baby.
Watch TV, but that gets old real fast.
I am almost always alone it seems like. Nearly all the people in town are sluts or the jock type so I don't have many friends to do much with. And the one really good friend is always A. Working or B. Spending time with his GF, my Ex. Which I will have no part of.
And yes masturbation also does help, for like 5 min. Then its back to being bored and alone.

Well when I'm alone I just do whatever I want without having to deal with others. simple yes?
Pretty much what 3 years being an exile makes you.

Meh, it's usually up and down for me.
I tend not to really get too down, but when it does happen I resort to sitting on my computer all day and sleeping for very long periods of time.
That technically is suppose to make it worse though.
Really, you just got to get in the habit of telling yourself that you just don't care about the bullshit that happens in your life. In the larger scheme of things, it won't matter in the future. The older you get, the smarter you become at dealing with situations like bitchy ex-girlfriends and backstabbing friends. Say "fuck em" and find something else to do.
Other option? Find friends who smokes copious amounts of marijuana.

Well, my view of poeple is quite similar to this sometimes....
So yeah. For me, being lonely is quite nice. Going out is effort for me. Sometimes fun, but usually effort. If it gets too quiet I listen to music or play videogames with mates online and such. It's actually quite nice.

technicaly, the 'light at the end of the tunnel' is literaly 'everything coming together', so Donnyp's got a more accurate idea of it, if only figuratively. not that anyone who hasn't experienced death at least once would know anything about that... >.>Enrathi said:
OT: sour grapes. that's how i cope. i've seen humans before. we wouldn't get along. as long as we ignore each other, everyone will be much happier.
