How about another aspect of life to discuss in net.singles:  *loneliness*

Isn't it hell.  Stabs at your mind. Tears your insides apart. 

If I were to ask:

1) how many people are lonely, such that it hurts.
    or
2) how many people are lonely, such that they would say that they are
   dying of loneliness.

how many people would include themselves in the numbers and be counted?
I feel that there are many people who would say so. I would (would I have
written this in the first place?)  By looking at the traffic over this
net group, I think that there are many articles that have a basis originating
from these causes.  I just think that this aspect should be brought out
into the open.  Its just that at times, I feel alone (no problem) and
at other times feel lonely (people around or not). It is these times
of loneliness that makes life difficult to bear. Coping withit sometimes
is just as bad, or impossible (at least here: small school, small town,
middle-of-nowhere. I would presume things are better elsewhere. :-)  ).
Does anybody have any interesting ideas or thoughts about such topic?
