Do you sometimes feel distant from others? Are there times who you don't feel comfortable talking about yourself? Often the best way to get out of this mood is by asking others how they are feeling. Expressing concern for others will often be all it takes to bridge the gap between you. Surprisingly, you may soon be sharing your own feelings and concerns as others open up to you. We are social beings and we do need friends and real friendships blossoms when we take the time to listen to others and to share our own feelings.

I feel very distant from others. I'm more of a loner, and I prefer to be alone because I operate better that way. I have friends, but I tend to keep them at a distance. There is only one person in my life who I really can talk to and connect with. I'm just not comfortable with sharing feelings with others.

I am a loner mostly, so I would say I do feel distant from others.
Grew up as an only child.
I need to be alone often.
Sometimes when I am with people I feel more lonely then when I am alone.
I find people tiring, seeing as most of the people I know here are depressed out of work or don't have money. This does not make me happy either. But, I will try to listen and help. It is tiring trying to workout there negative talks.

Hello dear Pose. You are right that it is a good way for us to open oir mind by asking others how they are feeling. This way both sides will find some topics on it. A heart-to-heart talk is easily started thus.

Yours is so instructive. Showing concern for people around in words and deeds is the best way to set up a friendly community for ourselves. We do need friends to feel solid and concrete. What we do is quickly rewarding. Even an one way offering is also pleasing to our heart. One has to do something to demonstrate his value, and it is a good way to avoid hollow and sorrow.

I don't really know why but I'm one of those people who could sit alone and just twiddle my thumbs instead of getting out and getting to know others. I've never been a big people person. No I am not emo, I am not antisocial either. I would just rather sit alone peaceful and quiet than have to put up with the drama that seems to permeate the lives of people these days. God Bless.
