Great advice except for the paying for 'hostiles' bit. I'm sure you didn't mean to prompt our mutual friend to become a mercenary recruiter.

My friend,
In this world, we are born alone and we die alone. Anything and everything in between is really up to us.
And I would also like you to expand a little on your idea...

I'd be really interested to hear about your brilliant idea.
As for those feelings when you look at others, many people have experienced that or something similar at some point in their lives - looking around at others and thinking we are different. However, it is also often true that many of those others, although not isolated in the same physical way - also feel 'disconnected' from others, isolated and alone.
This is what generations of 'social engineering' has done. You are not having this experience because there is something wrong with you, it's because there really is something wrong with our society. Those who have sought - and do still seek - to dismantle society and thus create a sense of disconnect and of not belonging in us individuals are doing this for their own evil agenda. So, I can't emphasise this enough - it's not your fault. I would imagine that more and more people feel similar things these days.
So, I believe, one of the ways of fighting back is to remember that we ARE all connected, to look at what we have in common, and do what we can to re-connect with ourselvles, with our own soul and connect in many small ways with others - even those we don't know, each of us in our own way, because every one of us needs that.
Thanks for being courageous enough to write about this.

I had friends and they just back stabled me, they are so full of their selfs, I think one of them is a free mason. People in general are going crazy as we move on, more and more like wild animals. You will come to the conclusion that you don't need anyone to feel happy as long as you can carry on.
Like me for example, I don;'t need anyone to confort me because no one was there when I needed it. So cheer up, good friends are hard to find, almost imposible, but you always have your self.

I tend to think you exist as much as I exist, otherwise neither of us would exist and I believe I exist because I'm having a conversation with you, therefore you also exist. Conversely, this conversation is an illusion that we're both partaking in and the other posters are either part of the illusion or part of the dream of the illusion but even then, in some sense, we all exist.
Even when one has friends it can feel like friends abandon you and disappear which can be even worse. There's a time in life when some become lonely, possible because others have moved on in their lives while, umm...others...umm...seem to be stuck in some limbo state of life left behind by society and friends. I honestly believe I share some of your pain. Personally, I'm ever so slowly learning much later in life than I'd wish that what society deems the norm may not be what you really want, or more importantly what you need. Everyone's different and that's not a bad thing.
I'm taking a chance posting this video as the song title implies that everyone needs someone but the execution says something entirely different to me. None of these people knew each other never mind were friends with each other. By everyone doing their own thing in their own way, a great video was made. It gives me some hope, somewhere, somehow of greater things achieved through just being yourself. I get a great warm, fuzzy feeling whenever I watch it, including right now as I'm typing this. I hope you enjoy it and see it in a positive light.

Hey, buddy, I'll be your friend. I too have been sort of a loner for most of my life, never had more friends than fingers on one hand. Most people tend to hate me me because i am intelligent, not a Christian, not having a cell phone, not driving a new car....the list goes on and on. You are in good company here. Cheers.

Perhaps you have no friends because you think all men are killers and all women are whores. Just a thought....
