Loneliness In the past I always struggled trying to reach out people, but lately I've realized that the reason behind this is that I always had myself in mind when I wanted to meet someone, thinking about what the other person could give me back. This was the real reason behind my failure to meet people who could be my friends. Thank God He showed me how things really work: if you worry about others and think about them instead of being egotistic, you'll have a better chance to meet nice people and future friends, and even maybe that special person you've been looking for.
