You ever have that feeling you want to talk some of the time I do. Then there are times I don't feel the need to talk or vent or share. I can be self-contained, independent, and private. I like living life in my head. I like keeping some of my secrets..don't we all? But I don't know...sometimes i want to talk, other times I want to listen. I am that person people can talk to me about anything I don't cause any drama and I love being happy and joking around. It would be great if I found someone I can open up to feel confident they are really interested. Someone who like similar things or completely opposite things. Maybe get into a heated discussion, who knows. Just someone to talk to & not feel judged I have had real friends who I can trust and be with in the military, beyond that...but change had a way of arriving unexpectedly and over time you lose contact, our lives take us in different directions...some die..some change..But over the last few years something has just gotten worse, at times great.I have tried to talk to people but no body understands me, they don't seem to understand I can be smiley, sincere, sociable, I can be upset, confused and in a shell..just as anyone. People always come to me when they want to vent, talk and knowing how comfortable it is. But it feels like when I need someone to talk to, there's no one. Not even those who vent to me. I've learned to keep everything bottled up but I know it's not a good thing. I Feel So Alone i once had a really good friend and we told each other everything he committed suicide now i dont have anyone to talk with to the extent we did. There are times i really need to express myself to some one and tell them everything i get really sad holding it all in and it gets hard sometimes dealing with it...so now I write. I wish I could find more people to talk to, it's been a long struggle being the approacher and not getting much back in return. I wish people would also put effort in talking back and so on
