How To Deal With Loneliness. I Can Be Outgoing But I Don’t Know How To Make Friends

Because of past relationships, I have trust issues. I often retreat from someone the minute something is said or done that reminds me of a past toxic relationship.

I recognize liars a lot sooner but I'm still alone. You can have all the fun you want, but if you can't trust them, it won't last beyond the morning after.

Something I wrote recently based on a woman that sought me out only to waste my time......

Nobody wants me and they're really good at it

Another day slept away. Sleep is a nice place to hide. It's what I'm hiding from that has me exhausted inside. Not a woman, but almost a society of friends.

Where did they go when I needed them most. Forgotten on purpose as I became empty of what they came for.

Loneliness is my only friend, it stays longer than anyone else could pretend.

Fear of inevitability haunts my heart of hearts, damning me of any interpersonal activity.

I trusted another in saying hello. She gave me her number just so she didn't have to say no.

Ignored after that hurts quietly, yet lingers as deep as rejection defines her fake intentions in being kind to me.

Once again, I gave it a shot. To meet someone special was my only goal, to reach and embrace the heart of another tender soul.

I hate being so right about so much wrong. Why does this sound like just another blues song?

My patience denied, once again, she lied. What's the meaning of all this? What happened to shared bliss?

It's the genuine closeness I miss. I've forgotten what it feels like to kiss. Is it really worth it after still going through all this???

What the hell for? On your way out, just close the door. Fake love isn't welcome here anymore.
