I'm Japanese and this woman was explaining everything about me in English and I knew that there're so many of us who are feeling the same. I'm 47 and single and when I imagine myself spending the rest of my life in a cozy little house in a rural place, alone, surrounded by great nature and serenity my heart is filled with peace. But at the same time I miss people. There's always this conflict within me, the part who wants love and attention and the part who wants emotional security and serenity. Both understanding because I'm wounded. I want them both so bad.
Ditto. People are never drawn to me (don’t know why ‘cos I’m a lovely person) but I don’t worry about it any more because it’s become the norm. I’ve lived alone and I guess I’ll die alone.
This woman speaks the truth!

These banal "family happiness" pictures are really not adequate and superficial.
So true. Happens every time.
