This helps me feel like there are people worth caring about but still doesn't help my self image problems or ptsd from abusive relationships.</p><p>So this preclusion to solitude and moral values begins to paint a picture only its a picture that says a thousand words about other things without the most important things even being written about yourself because they aren't being experienced. It makes you feel like a player in an orchestra that no one has written any music for, or simply forgot to, you strum along to the same rythms that are driving everybody but your instrument is silent.</p><p>i've encountered many lonely people that share thier stories with me only i generally am not the person to fill something in thier lives and the companioned people i encounter generally say something like "i don't understand that, its not my experience" or " I'm sure you'll find someone i don't have time to help you".</p><p>The reasons people become reclusive or choose to be absent in a situation shouldn't determine how you treat those people at all instead you should make an effort to include them in something.</p><p>I tried being included into group socials but i find the people generally felt imposed upon or unfairly biased toward most of what i would cal healthy dynamics.</p><p>Loneliness really gets to me and there aren't many healthy ways i know of dealing with it and i have tried most that i can think of.</p><p>This discussion leaves me feeling very drained and depressed im trying to achieve something with my life all by myself most of the time and its exceedingly difficult trying to run your life and at the same time work out why it feels so empty and deal with all the abuse from the past, present and likelihood of it being in the future.</p><p>Below are some artworks that reflect the nature of my psyche and the effects of societies spiritual divorce from basic human equality</p><p></p></div>"I AM never lonely..........."https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/forum/topics/i-am-never-lonely2009-12-25T03:56:37.000Z2009-12-25T03:56:37.000ZStarmanhttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/Starman<div>"I AM never lonely. A lonely person is one who is not aware of the complete fullness within. When you become dependent on something outside without having awareness of the reality within you, then you will indeed be lonely. The whole search for enlightenment is to seek within, to become aware that you are complete in yourself. You are perfect. You don't need any externals. No matter what happens in any situation, you need never be lonely."Swami Rama"Whoever loves God wishes to be alone. Like newlyweds who do not wish to have their intimacy interrupted by outsiders; those who have felt the love of God retire into silence & solitude."Ernesto Cardinal (from "Abide In Love")</div>
