Bleh. I was just trying to make a light-hearted jest and people go and get all upset. It seems I can't get anything right these days.

Maybe I should just shut the fuck up instead, it's not as if I do any good around here anyway. Sad

Don't think of it. You do do a power of good, believe me. I reckon Trevor was making a light-hearted jest too, you know.

Yeah, I thought I was being funny, just like you! Sorry if you took that the wrong way! I wasn't saying I've never felt LIKE a PT, I said I've never FELT (as in felt-up, you know?) a PT!

Again, sorry if I gave you any grief! Take care.

There's much I want to say, but I can't. For one thing, it's the wrong thread, and second, I don't know if I want to share this part of myself anyway. I try to forget by reading instead, it's a bit of distraction but not more than that either.

I know how you feel, Lenny. I sometimes feel the same way.

Just because this may not be the proper thread shouldn't prevent you from starting a new one; and although you say you don't want to share this part of yourself, the mere fact that you have brought it up at all might mean that deep down that's exactly what you want to do.

I realize I'm probably talking out of turn with him being away right now, but I think that's one of the major reasons why Tim started this message board: a place to express thoughts and feelings to people just like you, on things that the rest of society would (in their ignorance) frown upon at best (in other words, a place of safety).

Whether or not you decide to pursue this (whatever it is) further is, of course, your decision; but just remember that talking about it (whatever it is) to somebody (anybody) who cares is infinitely better than keeping it bottled up.

Like that film title says, you are not alone, Lenny; don't ever forget that.

You know how I feel?


You have this desperate need to love and be loved, even to the point you spend almost every waking moment aching and agonizing over it, wishing you simply did not exist rather than continue living in such a manner? That's me, Ron. That's me. And it's not even all of it, there's more! Lots more...


I certainly DO NOT hope you know how I feel, because it's so horrible words cannot describe it.

This is the place to let it out, whatever it is - not only is it anonymous and a place of safety and respect, probably one or more of us either feels the same, or has at some point.

Regarding the aloneness - that definitely sucks big time and fortunately is not one of my problems. But, you know you are the only person that can really change that, right? So, what are you going to do? If you try something, anything, and it fails, will you be any worse off than you are now? I guess I'd have to advise against running through the streets nekkid with a stiffie yelling "I want love!" but hey, short of something like that, you've got to start by making friends. If you already have friends, you're already started.

I've been very lucky to never really had to look for someone, and I'm an introvert so I usually just avoid people and small talk, but the other day in the grocery store I noticed quite a few people that wanted to talk to me for no good reason. Even when I look like hell after a long day's work of messy labor, no shower or shave, people still talk to me out of the blue. I never really noticed before and was a bit amazed - I just had to look at people and smile a little. And I'm certainly nothing to look at!

Well, I hope this wasn't totally irrelevant to you - you also have my cyber-hug for what that's worth - we count you as friends here, but I know we can't be there to put your arms around when you roll over at night. Sad

I think I do feel a lot like you but I won't know unless you tell us the rest, you helped me now let us try and help you. I think just getting the problem into words helps and when you read my problems and tried to help I felt better just from knowing that there is someone listening, so if you want I'm listening and I'm sure everyone else here is too.
If you want to talk in privet that's good too so here's mine just in case

Love, Gil

OK, I found a back door in to the soite past teh censor

I have stood in a place like you stand, lonely, frightened, even too frightened to find my way either in or out. Maybe I seem to you to be a well adjusted, happy and confident person, Lenny. I am not, but I work VERY hard on trying to appear that way.

For years I have worn the smiling clown mask. It gets very heavy. It went with a suit or armour. I became abrasive,, aggressive, and lost several jobs over it.

And no, I have no solution. All I can suggest is daily to relax just a little about life and smile at one more stranger. And meet me when in London to see how similar we truly are.
I'm glad to hear from you...  [message #1367 is a reply to message #1365] Thu, 07 March 2002 21:43 Go to previous message

Yes, I think I would be happy to meet you.

Don't care if you are as confident as you seem, you're a good guy and a good friend (even though we've never met). That's all that matters to me right now.

Thanks for caring, you and everybody else that replied (Gil, Trevor, Mihangel, Dan, Ron). You're all good guys. I just have a hard time appreciating you at times... Sorry about that.
