loneliness is a disease if not they need to look into it take out a grant study it people are lonely for many different reasons it's a self-image killer loneliness can be so severe you can actually become ill from it you can be lonely in a city of nine million people I was once walked the streets not meeting anyone's eyes head down just kept walking into infinity and an uncaring world least that's what I thought it was the disease of loneliness made me think that way how do you catch this loneliness disease? is there a vaccination for it? loneliness comes in many forms obese people can reach out to loneliness thinking they can find sympathy those of us whose beauty resides within can catch the disease loneliness out of frustration or, you catch it when those around you take you for granted and expect you to act in certain ways that you'd rather not you'd rather be your own self not someone's clone there's no vaccination but there is a cure for loneliness it's called reaching out to those who think the same kind of thoughts you do a kindred spirit someone to understand and not expect you to be anyone but who you are loneliness is a disease it can destroy you ©November 21, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ He did not wear his scarlet coat, |

Lonely people live shorter lives. Loneliness kills. You have hit the lonely nail on the head my friend. Bless your heart.  Lori |

the deepest felt lonliness is yes, in that sea of a million of faces,when we only see our own this cuts deep at a happy holiday time, even moreso |
