The Lonely Acquiantance
Wednesday, February 16, 2005
Loneliness Kills, Intoxicates and Drives a person NUTS; the saying goes that the fear for loneliness can drive a person to give anything to be part of a group, for the sake of acceptance, even if it means taking the wrong path... and that is so true. I have once been lonely too, and in the recent weeks, I reminiscence on my past as i sit quietly in the presence of a lonely acquiantance.
I realised after a fair bit of silent observation that:
- He talks too much, and would say anything to draw attention.
- He asserts too much, and would go to ridiculous means to take control.
- He brags too much, and paints to fanciful a costume in his dreams.
Also:
- Loneliness can result in turning to animals for comfort and self-pacifism.
- The inner urge for attention can make a person very irritating at times.
- Loneliness creates symptoms of extreme paranoia (e.g. this guy has been ranting over the possibility to getting fined for speeding on the road ever since he saw a slight flash some days back, even though he was sure he wasn't speeding)
This guy is starting to drive me crazy...
