Ever feel, even around friends or family, alone?

Paddy Roy Bates is fairly sure he's an island: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealand

A man does not possess the ability to fly.

An island also lacks the ability to fly.

Therefore, a man is an island.

I think, with the advance of technology, you can feel you belong, when in fact, in reality, you probably don't, this site in point...

If by "alone" you mean misunderstood then yeah. If it something more potent than that then there's plenty of support out there bud.

Thing about the wonders of the internet is that no matter who you are talking to, at the end of the day, it's still you, alone, looking at an inanimate object so yeah, we all feel alone sometimes. Sucks.:(

No need to feel like that. I have made some great friends through Boards, fleah and blood, face to face, boobies to boobies friends... :pac:

Go to beers, connect through PM, what ever, behind every keyboard is a person who has just as many hang ups (if not more than you do)

It's a big world of fun out there you just need to reach out and grab it with both hands

You've got to just embrace the loneliness and in that solitude you will find your closest friend, your best accomplice and your meanest nemesis!

If he is in the sea with a pigeon on his head, then yes.
