In this world, most of the people will come to you only when they need something from you. Due to this, you might feel all alone. You need to understand that being alone and feel lonely are two completely different things. People often mistake being alone as being lonely. Being alone is absolutely fine. In fact, it gives you ample time to understand yourself better and become comfortable with your own true self.

But being lonely is not ok. It is when you start feeling incomplete with your own self and seek someone to either validate your feelings or approve that you are awesome. I know you are genuine and really awesome.

So, please believe in yourself. Be friends with the one sitting inside you. If you are alone. Take this as an amazing opportunity. Practice meditation, go on solo trips, read good books and autobiographies of great people, learn some new skill. Think of impacting lives of other people in different ways and leave a legacy behind you.

I have befriended my own self and am very much comfortable with my feelings. I love to create things which can impact people in a positive way through my Book, Blog and YouTube channel. You too can explore different ways to be comfortable with your own self and do something to spread love, care and compassion. These are based on my personal experience with people. Although you should not care too much what others think about you, you cannot ignore it completely because you have to operate with people.

You cannot operate in isolation. How you make others feel about them, they will do the same with you. If you really want others to care about what you think and feel, try to touch their lives in whatever way you can.

Stop forcing people to understand you and your feelings, rather focus on becoming more self-aware. Be a witness to the life and experience it like you experience different tastes of food.

Always remember, that true freedom is not about doing whatever you want to do, it is about not getting affected by whatever happens to you. Take control of how you feel. Expand your life, not by how much you have but how much you give. Look at the bigger picture of life.

Hello Your all content is unique from other sites. Thank you for sharing your all experience with us. Thanks Vijay. The only people who include me in their lives do so when they need something from me, whether money, time, support, whatever.

Once they get whatever it is they need from me, they ignore me. The closest thing I have to friends to spend time with is a couple people who every now and then will let me tag along as long as I stay in the background and do exactly what they want.

I am never picky about what we do, where we go, who is there, anything. There are things that I would prefer, yes, but no one cares what I want so Ive learned to keep that to myself. This is not a situation where I just need new friends at this point in life. This has been every person I have had in my life, including my family. How I feel or what I want has never mattered to anyone. All I do is give. So I keep it to myself. And if I had just a couple friends that cared about me, I would be that person exactly.

But no one sees me as worth any effort….. Or the alternative is, there are some people that just have no significance and never will no matter what they do. I hope the first is the correct one. But what I have seen in life leans me towards believing the later.

If I were to vanish tomorrow, the only living creature that would be impacted emotionally at all would be my dog. I do believe she would miss me.

Hi Dear, I understand your situation and got your point. First of all, thank you so much for taking time and expressing your views. I know it takes a lot of effort express oneself fully. Coming to your query. Most of the people in this world are like this only. I have been through same situation.

But what I have learnt from such phase is that there is difference between being alone and feel lonely. Being alone is absolutely fine but feeling lonely is not. What I mean by this? After such phases, I started exploring about my interests and skills.

I started making myself better in those areas. In fact, being alone gives me a lot of time which I can spend with myself. Looking at it from spiritual perspective, it is an amazing opportunity to understand about the basic meaning of life and existence. Not to be sad about it. Rather exploring how life is expressing itself in various forms on this planet. Practicing meditation, writing journal, reading good books, autobiographies of great people and thinking about how we can create an impact in our won life and in this world too.

Thinking about how we can leave a legacy behind us. Always remember, you are awesome. Because you are the only one like you. God bless you! At times most genuine and honest people like you face such difficulty and I can completely feel the pain that you feel completely abandoned by your family and even worse case when by your own parents.

This is nothing to do with you as a person. We all exists on earth by sheer love and compassion from God.. You could never ever get than from any other human. Please love yourself and then everything fall in place.

Loads of love and blessings to you! Yes, if your operating from a narrative that your the centre of the universe then, yes, it is applicable. The only thing that will be emotionally impacted will be my dog. Well guess what? Guess what? The best thing you can do and the best present you can ever give yourself is to not give a shit yourself.

I hate to say this but you have to beat the world at its own game and not give a shit too. Why waste your time with people like that?! You are the only person that can make you happy, nobody else can, trust me. The harsh truth is; people suck! Let the mindless masses worship their own selfishness and do something for yourself cause Lord knows….. Give a shit less about others and more about yourself. Stop expecting people to be human. Screw those people; blow them out of your life like a turd out your ass because they are truly shit!

Seriously though, they are; why waste your time. Sure, give people a chance but feel free and be ready to flush at any time. Sure, they were closer to him than me but they still abandoned him when he needed them most. Their selfishness is not your problem. So this means that the people that are loved are perfect and are not under any item of this list. Got it. Hi Maria, thanks for stopping by and reading. Nobody is perfect.

But the people who are loved, at least they are perfect through the eyes of people who love them. Purpose of the article is not to criticize but to understand how we can be better by identifying what we are doing wrong.

I have gone through the same journey myself when I used to think the same way. But working on myself has made things better. God this feels like total victim-blaming. Hi, it would have been great if you had mentioned your name. But I really appreciate sharing your honest view. I agree that people need support. But the sooner someone takes the responsibility, the better it becomes. I have been there, done that. I too was seeking help, but honestly, nobody helps except your own self.

And when you realise this bitter truth and take the ownership, things start to become better. I guess that could be true to a point. I come from a group of people that shit on me and everyone else. They alienated me from everyone. People will always find reasons to shit on you from my experience.

So do you mean we have to work on ourselves and then again go to ppl to entertain them and make them feel special just to be accepted or loved by them who ruined us before and traumatized us just bc we are social animals and we cannot process in isolation?

Hi Zara, I totally understand how people behave at times. But more than that, it is important to understand how we look at ourselves. We need to stop seeking approval from others and be happy with how we are.

And from that space, we have to become better every single day, bit by bit. I agree with you. People who do any of these things have underlying issues and deserve care and support. Not to be hit with this insensitive article. How ironic. It tells you to be giving to others and compassionate towards them, when the person who created this is being very critical and judgemental of people who feel this way.

People who do any of these things are obviously hurt and need help, not this. This has made me so angry. I can understand you anger. My language might be crude, harsh or critical. I am really sorry for that. I agree with you that such people need external support and compassion. I have gone through such phase, myself, faced it and overcame suicidal tendencies. What I learnt through all this is that one has to become strong and make personal efforts to overcome it.

But one has to make personal efforts to come out of it. We may agree to disagree. Appreciate your honest feedback. Thanks for taking time to stop by. Totally agree with you. Rather they are accepted and loved despite their flaws. I am really inspired along with your writing talents and also with the format on your blog. Is this a paid topic or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent high quality writing, it is uncommon to see a great weblog like this one today..

Burn in Hell Keshav! Many people are out there with severe mental and physical illness, much of which is incurable! Are these people responsible somehow for their plight? Who are you to judge? I can understand your anger. My way of talking might be crude and harsh. I am sorry for that. I agree such people may need external support during that phase. I myself has gone through it, faced it and overcame suicidal tendencies.

I looked on the internet for more info about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this site. Thanks Keshav for this. Everything is making sense to me now. But sometimes, the fault comes from the other side , not us. I heard a phrase many years ago that stuck with me. Saves me from having to recreate an address book makes it easier on me and makes sure I have the email address they want me to use.

I always help his family when they call me with questions, so I thought I was making a reasonable request.

Turns out I was wrong. I was asking for too much effort on their part. So I have to agree with the bulk of your article. I can see myself at different times in different scenarios of what you describe. In this case, I wanted people to act a certain way 14 and they did not, which resulted in nasty posts on FB that accessed my 6 emotional over-reactivity.

I have to accept the depth of caring they have for me, whether deep or shallow, and focus on the things I enjoy doing and the people I feel true connection with not many , and learn to be ok with that. Hey there! This post could not be written any better!

Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. From everyday forms of aggression in the bureaucracy to the political interests protected by the elite, ordinary Filipinos are at the mercy of our leaders. Indeed, this is a reality facing young adults and the succeeding generations today. Post-Marcos all of them, they experienced neither Martial Law nor the events that led to the removal of the dictator.

The work of my colleague, sociologist Gretchen Abuso at Xavier University , is a wake-up call. Based on her interviews with college students around the country, she argues that the inadequate education dedicated to Martial Law and its human rights abuses accounts for the pervasiveness of revisionist notions about that era.

And then, here comes the media that [hypes] everything so Martial Law is immediately portrayed as human rights violations. The disillusionment among those who went through Martial Law and the inadequate education among those who came after it have led to the public ambivalence towards People Power. Perhaps the answer lies in the question itself: We cannot celebrate People Power. It is a moment whose fading honor must be relived, reenacted, and reasserted.

This is the only way to temper the disillusionment of the public and inspire steadfastness among the youth. There is, in other words, no point in celebrating that which has failed many Filipinos. But there is wisdom in remembering what earlier generations of Filipinos were angry about and what they hoped for.

Today, those aspirations remain the same. We all want a just society where the weakest among us could have a chance at a better life. Nor is there a need to be mesmerized by the lies peddled by the Marcoses.
