Everyone is scared to death of dying here alone

That is a line from a Switchfoot song called “Easier than Love”

The song talks about how society fills its plate with empty “love” and psuedo relationships just because no one wants to be alone.

I cannot relate to “empty love” scenario, but I can with the psuedo relationships, even if it be just friendships. Do you ever look around and think, “Wow, I do not really have any friends”? I do on occasion. It seems like everyone has some one else and there is no room left for me. I don’t want to be a tag-a-long or an afterthought.

Part of that is my fault; I am not good at making friends. Been burned too many times that it takes a lot to trust people. Add to that a bit of timidness & being shy, doesn’t really equal success in the friend department. What do I do with these realizations, not really sure. That line has just been in my head for a week or so, so I thought I would make a comment about it.

Sorry if I am a bit of a downer today.
