sorry you're feeling so alone. we've lived in a city and it can be just as isolating when surrounded by people - guess this is because its about how we feel and that doesn't necessarily change even if there are loads of people about. connection is hard. connection with people we want to connect with is even harder! we've always thought animals make better friends than most people - more loving, not punishing - they love b/c they love, not b/c of what you're going to do for them. people are unnecessarily complicated .

so, just wanting to say that feeling isolated and alone is a natural response to circumstances. if you're in a rural area, or like us socially isolated due to work, it can be hard. internet can't fully replace 3d friendships, but we find it really helpful particularly for those times when there is no 3d alternative. it's hard though, you're right.

Thank you nats. I would suppose that feeling isolated while surrounded by people is worse somehow. Like water everywhere but not a drop to drink. Yes, thank goodness for animals. They have been our closest intimates since little. They are perfect in their openness and unconditional love and loyalty. They are pretty much our whole world.
