i am honest & loving and it is opposed to the ways of my peers therefore i feel lonely.
i've spent the past 20 years eating vast amounts of LSD and magic mushrooms, so i'm often misunderstood by people who have no idea what psychadelic culture is like.
that is how i found my way here, wondering if somewhere out there in the world maybe someone can relate to me.

I guess a big part of us (on this forum) feels kind of lonely. That's why prefer to discuss some of our thoughts in here, rather then with our friends. At least there are some issues that here I tell them and I know that my friends won't understand. And that makes me feel lonely sometimes. I feel the need to connect with other people and make myself understood. The thing is that we still live in times where being free to be yourself takes some risks, risks like feeling lonely and in need to share thoughts and feelings.

Solitude is vastly underrated.
Are you getting out much? It doesn't sound like you are. Just get out and start doing shit and friends will come your way.

From what I understood, that's the problem. He can't just make ANY friends, he needs somebody to feel connected to, which is way harder then "hangin' out" with somebody.

Loneliness is something that you create yourself. Even being aware of that, I find myself unbearably lonely at time, especially recently. For the last over a year, I haven't been lonely for even a second as I was in the best relationship ever, but now with some compromise that I'm making for my girlfriend wanting to have more time with her friends, I often find myself lonely and I can't turn to her anymore. I'm looking for something to turn to, and just searching for it keeps you occupied and your thoughts off being lonely.
I think you can definitely relate to a lot of people here, and I speak on everybody's behalf at the shroomery when I say, we're here for you.

Yeah man i can totally relate, tonight i felt the most lonely and depressed i've felt in a while. Its not like i dont have any friends but there arent a lot of them that i'm really close to. I dont think very many people truly know me.
My brother, who is the coolest dude and one of my best friends, is in the army and i havent seen him for over a year. And my other best friend who used to do everything with me discovered his bisexuality and now spends most of his time with a faggy spoiled little bitch.
On top of this, my biggest problem is with girls. I'm normally a quiet guy, not very outgoing and I could never just go up to a girl and spit game. Girls like a guy with confidence, but that goes for anybody. But naturally a person that doesnt feel comfortable with themself isnt going to be brimming with self-confidence.
I think you need to learn to love yourself before you can learn to love somebody else.
Just know man that you're not alone. And like everyone said, I truly believe that things will get better, just need to give it time.

I appreciate everything you've all said. If you ever NEED a friend, you can message me, and I will remedy your need. Helping people is something that I enjoy doing because it takes my mind off of the help I need. I'd never turn away from someone in need.
I'm telling you now The greatest thing you ever can do now Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now It's very easy

Emotions are necessary. Whether you meditate for an hour, exercise, walk, read, write, talk to people, etc etc - it's all good. But sitting on your comp all day is not the creative spark that you need to employ the complex emotions, which enrich your life.
A good friend is almost necessary because you have to be super dedicated to be a hermit.

I've grown to realise i am a strange paradox of feeling.
I have a loner streak a mile wide, and i feel it can bring richness in many ways. i would admit that i'm proud of it.
But i went through a time when i felt i didn't have anyone who cared for me. It was after a long term relationship and i felt alienated from all my friends, for which i must take some blame. Losing good friendships to life's tribulations, and to my own sometime state of being (perhaps blindness, cruel apathy to my own heart and others i have known, as it feels in retrospect) is something ive experienced to a lesser extent throughout my life. They were dark days, and lonely.
Ive come to realise that though i may yearn for solitude on occasion (the fulfilling kind, when i can) it is others, friends, that fill me with the light i adore. To exist amongst others and to be there for them when they needed it i realised was one of my great natural joys, as much as to have them there for me. The time i experienced such terrible lonliness was not one where i did not know anyone at all, but none of these people would regard me to care for them, to care for their feelings and thoughts as part of our companionship. To be without this role - that means so much to me to fulfill - was so hollow.
People spark my creativity even. Without them i stagnate. I do not have many close friends, but things are getting better. I kind of feel i am rebuilding my life.
It may not be so simple, the natural evolution of the knowingness of another, others. But when you learn to kindle friendships, however they may arise; in activities you pursue, places you go (in my case returning to University gave me the lion's share of a new beginning), to share the light of existing for one another, in however small a proportion, can allow your solitude to flourish happy. I feel i exist to know people and to learn of them, so that i may exist happily in cohesion with them or by myself. From the smallest seed...
Here is a construction that has been playing in my mind, perhaps a motto i would use if i were to form any kind of group of fellows (it may show my negative exerience of cliquism) - "simply for the society of those that i may meet" - myself
I hope you have opportunity to chase the loneliness away. I'm with you and anyone that sees the shroomery as a place where friends can be made, in whatever form, or sound advice heard. I have already been positively affected by discussing some of my troubles here, in a fairly profound way.
I love to an inclusionist and i love to be included. When i existed only as he who may be included, that was the primary fundament to my desolation. As a community of enlightened individuals, who may be conscious and pro-active in seeking parity with one another and all, i think the shroomery (as much as i have seen) can be a heartening and satisfying place, within the boundaries of it's nature, and also perhaps beyond.
I hope i've not bored anyone, this is the sum of my experiences of loneliness, solitude, friendships and loss as it sits with me now. Any way we can change the more destructive, debilitating, and sullen demons inate to our nature, and strike for the positivity of our heart's desires, in whatever small way, should be harnessed in the ardour of our Being, and striven for, whenever we can. Try to put yourself in a position to change the circumstances in which you may suffer, however vague and trialsome an edict that may seem.
And please! Forgive me for preaching! I speak, in these words, to myself as much as anyone, maybe a little more. In matters of finding a girl to share my love with for instance, i could probably use a hand to say the least...
Good luck with it all. As part of the shroomery, i am with you.

Man summer is just right around the corner. You should get out and hit up some festivals like bumbershoot this year and meet some new people. It might be easier said than done for you though...im not sure. But I do know if you spend all your time alone and inside the harder it is to meet knew people.
If ya like Electronic Dance Music go hit up some raves/party's in the city. Your gaurenteed to meet some crazy people who have the psychonaut mentality; I do every time I go. You can possibly try going to the next shroomery gathering in the PNW. Not sure when that is though...

i'm a tired old soldier, i've seen things nobody should know. i live alone in my farmhouse, the paint is chipped so the grey wood shows through. the yard is barren, with weeds in the hard dirt, and a rusty wheelbarrel with a flat tire. growing along side the fence wire is a thorny bush that's been there since i last remembered love. and there grows a beautiful rose that i like to look at through my window, it brings me joy, so i can cry and feel some feelings, rather than this empty numbness of solitude. U/R that rose in my life, each day i watch it bloom and grow a little more. if flowers could speak then she would be the only friend i need.

We all hit that point somewhere in our lives. My suggestion would be since you are blessed to live in Seattle, head out for a hike in the mountains and marvel at the beauty created for you, by the best friend one could ever have.

i noticed that link you posted goes to the OTD. that's what goes on in the OTD. stick to the pub.
i think you should fix up your yard and your house, get them looking nice, less depressing. go to some local shows, hang out with people. i guarrantee you'll find like minded people at local shows. and you know what, you'll always have friends here.
it's not so bad, just look on the bright side. things will straighten themselves out, just put forth the effort.

Bro dont even waste your time in OTD. Every post in OTD is bullshit comments being passed back and forth. Like nightkrawler said just stick to The Pub. You'll find that everybody there is more accepting than OTD.
But possibly take up some of the suggestions that have been mentioned. Ya never know who you will meet in this world.
