i can't tell the difference.

To me, you may use the "lonely" term to deceive yourself. Ive been single for most of my life as well and staying home, in my room sleeping 24/7 is taking the tool out of me. I feel incredibly lonely when I am enforced to leave for school. I am isolating everyone and stay passive whole day. I found this site to kind of change things but considering my lonely nature, I had to critically ask myself if I could ever fall in love with someone or am I just desperate to cease my lonely nature. I can definitely see some similarities. At some point I am unable to settle my own feelings. Do I want someone or not. Right now I certainly feel like I need someone to acknowledge my existance.

i cant even tell you myself cuz there were times where i felt lonely and kinda jumped at the first person who showed interest but that usually ends after a while. but now im kinda fine with being alone. i dont think i will ever be able to tell if i truly like someone. guess the best way to realize if i do is give it some time and see if its nothing more than a crush
