Do you ever feel sad and lonely?

[MJKing985]

A few days after MJ passed I was in the city walking around on my way to get my lunch. There was a SEA of people and cars and trucks and buses all around me.. literally the streets of midtown were packed FULL OF PEOPLE... and I felt so alone. It was like it just hit me right then, his death, my feelings just everything. I started to cry right in the middle of the street. It's a good thing I had on a pair of sunglasses otherwise folks woulda thought I was crazy.

I've struggled with feelings of loneliness in the past few years and I think that's one of the reasons MJ's death has affected me so much, because in a strange way I understand how he must have felt. Now granted I am NOT MJ and could never feel what he felt on that scale, but just imagining him with so many fans that loved him so much, but the fact that he felt lonely alot of the time is something I think about alot.

yea after his death it was hard for me to cope with it all im a guy and i couldnt stop cryin because i grew up on his music and when i think about my childhood past it includes Michael. He influenced me to become the dancer i am today. Its crazy because a week or so after his passing i was also in the city on one of the subways listening to Michael and in front of me i noticed this one hispanic woman with an MJ shirt reading the newspaper with michael on it still looking very upset about everything that happened, i feel stupid for not having went up to her but i was shy and feeling sad just like her. To answer the question though i do feel sad and lonely at times for many different reasons one of them being that i wish i would socialize with people more, but anyway i think the best way to cope with loneliness is to listen to music or watch inspiring movies

I feel alone from time to time. It used to be a lot worse.. I used to have depression amongst other issues. I still have a degree of anxiety but a lot less than I used to. I would often cry myself to sleep over my issues.. If you're interested go to my very first post on this forum and find out.. I love having my closest friends, family and girlfriend around me. When I'm alone I can be a different person.. I have more chance of thinking poorly and at times I feel very helpless. The world is funny like that.. Funny enough I never feel alone when I turn Michael on - even if I'm by myself. A song I like to listen to when I feel alone is Stranger in Moscow.. Michael is so amazing at expressing himself and enabling others to relate.. I can relate so greatly to that song..

I know what it's like to scream at the sky and think why why why! Being alone is the most horrible thing. Life is so fragile you know? I could list about a 100 things that could go wrong right now and my world would absolutely crumble. It would be next to unrepairable. But I know I would still make it through. Tell 'em that it's human nature. To rise above negative feelings and experiences in life is one of the most satisfying experiences there is. I remember feeling the lowest I've ever felt, and to be nigh on top of the world emotionally - you just don't take a second of this feeling for granted. I'm still distraught about Michael but you know what I mean.

This forum is wonderful to vent upon and no matter what issue there is you can depend on all of us to help. This forum contains some of the most beautiful, courageous, compassionate, loving, loyal people known to man! No joke! I've only been on this forum for 2 months and I can see it.

We are all here for you.

Hugs.

im glad i came across this thread....i have felt ever so lonely especially since MJ's death. I have alot of friends, but no one i can really lean on, and no one seemed to understand how I felt when Michael died...lately ive been trying to take the time to find out more about this legend, and ive been so confused and everyone jst tells me to get over it, but wen i jst sit at home alone and listen to MJ im happier, i feel like i dnt need anything else (apart from God of course)...but it still hurts feeling like im alone.

Most of my friends are now turning to drinking and i dont do it, and im feeling just distant...i just want a friend who will understand and share with me, it seems i just found a whole lot of em

ive always felt lonely. its something that can be hard to deal with some days but in some ways i find it empowering too depending on my state of my mind and how im coping on a particular day. im one of those people who can be surrounded by tons of people and yet still feel lonely. dont know why. but its always been like that.
