I love myself. I don’t know anyone else who can handle countless rejections so well. Who else can pick themselves up out of the dirt (literally every day) after being taken advantage of, legally robbed, disregarded, insulted or even just forgotten?

I have extreme powers of empathy and selflessness. I’m generous to a fault. I’m intelligent, witty, creative, ambitious, successful, handsome and healthy. I’m also a manically depressed bi-polar, but no one knows and no one suspects. I’ve kept it hidden from all but the curious. Unfortunately, those showing curiosity towards me are non-existent.

There’s no reason for this loneliness, this abandonment… Why has everyone left me? I’ve no caring family, friends, or partner. So I love myself. Not because of narcissism or arrogance, but because I have to. Somebody does. —Someday I’ll Get to Love Someone, But For Now…

  1. Ok well first off, stop being generous and selfless to a fault. It isnt helping you. You will eventually be loved, of course! But you really need to a) set boundaries and b) stick to them! Good luck 🙂

  2. OP…you’re wrong….you may not think anyone cares, but somewhere, someone is thinking about you and wishing you felt the same about them.You sound like an amazing person, and trust me, I know what its like to be abandoned and think that you have no one, but someone does care.You just have to have faith.Stay strong.

  3. OP Sounds like you have a healthy self-esteem.Good for you.That’s something.A lot of women like a confident man.

  4. Reading this made me feel sad. I have felt that same way, at scattered times throughout my life. Thankfully, it would pass and I would smile again. Sometimes it’s hard to look past the loneliness to see that there are people out there who genuinely care.

    Hopefully, your feelings of despair won’t rob you of all of those wonderful qualities that you possess now; They’ll come in handy when you do find the love that you seek.

  5. Something really doesn’t add up about this Love. You’re all that and nobody wants anything to do with you? I bet you’re clingy and oversensitive as well. You can’t smother people. I have known people who have great hearts but you cannot untangle yourself from them without being stern. Then their feelings get hurt.

  6. Troodon Maybe the person is “all that” but,he/she said he suffers from a mental illness.I heard “Normal” people or those that feel they are not “fucked up”,would rather be with a person that is continually broken out with painfull inflamed genital herpes than with a “Mental case”.
    Everyone is fucked up in they’re own way.Doesn’t stop people from judging others.

  7. It appears as if we might have a lil’ Love in progress! Gotta love the play by play, grab the popcorn…

  8. *gulp*….. Alright then you two love birds, get this show on the road before I die of food poisoning! Pass the skittles…

    I’m safe with skittles, right?
