Really Alone, Virtually Alone...

I'm growing a litte frustrated these days. You know, with my college days over, I'm stuck inside my house with nothing but the TV and computer to give me company. I'm waiting for my joining next year. My college friends don't keep in touch with me any longer. It's only when I call them up that they can spare a word or two for me. But to every appearances, it seems that they've just wiped me out of their minds. I don't have any friends in the neighbourhood, indeed there isn't anyone to be made friends with, everybody here just remains closeted within their own personal lives. I try to make friends over on te internet, but there too, starngely I'm being rejected. When I send messages to people, they don't reply. My message boards remain empty for months. It feels as though I'm a nobody. Here also, I don't find many responses and just two days back, my reputation dropped a notch. It's as though things cannot get any worse for me. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong all this time. Do you also get this feeling sometime? Do you also feel rejected by the world at times? If so, what do you do to overcome your situation?

Thanks for the positive response, workoutfreak. I always try to think like this, try to be happy on my own, but sometimes it just doesn't work out and I feel depressed. After all, man is a social being. He craves company.

It's very nice of you, workoutfreak. Thanks for that prayer. But sometimes I feel that I've now grown up beyond that certain age upto which you could make friends with someone easily. From now on, as I leave the academic field and enter the job scenario, it will only be competitors who will surround me, not friends. Well, as I say myself often, it's better luck next time for me. In this case, it's the next life.
