Have you ever been so alone, that you even kind of wished

[Cadence]

strangers would talk to you in public?

1. Especially hen reading existentialists...Camus, Sartre etc

I felt the need to sit outside on a bench in public because I was afraid that, left by myself, I might.........

2. No, but I would like it.

I am ALWAYS surrounded by others.... my happiest times were w/ minimal human contact (that I did not want). Strangers talk to me in public, and all I can think is 'flee'. I have the opposite issue. I am happiest w/ self, kids, cats, hubby.

3. Not really.

Maybe once or twice. I'm a loner by nature, and I'm happiest inside my own head, so loneliness isn't something that really bothers me...much.

6. I have been that alone, but decided to move closer to family

and have never regretted that choice. I have never been happier. Above all others your family are your best friends.

7. Hell, I'm usually always feeling like that

and now with my wife leaving me, I'll get double the effect!

8. You mean strangers don't talk to you in public?

It happens to me all the time.

It especially happened a lot when I had customer service type jobs. You get to talk to some pretty interesting (in a weird way) people working those kind of jobs.

10. yup, that's when i go to AIM chat rooms
