Position:Home>Philosophy> Are my dark, pessimistic views of life and people depression? or to high expecta

Question:

Am very social but I have no hope for valued future!. This is more of a self question, just curious on others thoughts!. i have at least an average intelligence and attractiveness level, I could have a girlfriend or many shallow friends, but really just want a good companion to talk to, I'm very lonely!. I feel alienated, can't just talk about any interesting conversations, unlike that social bore of does he/she love me!? or any other social drama crap!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't sound like someone of average intelligence!.
I think the problem you have is faced by many people of higher intelligence!.
Do you find when you talk to people you have figured out the whole conversation and you are 2 steps ahead!. You have thought what they are thinking and you know what they are going to say and react, not because you are in tune with them, but its obvious you are more intelligent than them!. Do you find yourself having to explain what you say a lot, because they don't get it (i dont mean a joke) but general stuff!.
If its yes, then i would say find people on your level who will challenge your views!. Learn something or join a chess club, bridge, or even poker!.!.!.
You can try do an internship at a company you enjoy!.
Or hang with the "geeks!.!.!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would venture to say maybe your intellect is greater than you think!. It often is hard for people who are intelligent to keep from being bored in a way and if you are creative, it makes it even harder!.

I don't think you are depressed!. Just keep seeking that person who makes you feel comfortable to talk with and excited about life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it doesnt sound like depression!. i know a lot of ppl who just want someone to be as good a friend as that and are upset when they loose that friend even if its a temporary loss!. as for high expectations, its a normal thing to want to fid someone to confide in!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

im going through the same thing!.!.!
like no one really relates to you!.!.
& it seems like just about everyone your age isnt mature enough!.!.!?

ive had the depression label stuck on me a few times!.!.
but it comes & goes!.!.

it depends on a lot of things!.!.
i recommend picking up depression for dummies;
its helped me a lotWww@QuestionHome@Com

people suck, if you get lucky you will find one that makes you feel good and comfortable, but anyone and every one else is self serving and materialistic idiots!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sounds like teenage angst, but maybe not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know a name for your dark, pessimistic views of life which you'd not mentioned:

"Reality"!.

Yes, it's sad but true - most people will indeed live down to your lowest expectations of them!. The problem isn't chemical imbalance in the brain, the problem is that reality is quite truly depressing!. There is no cure for it, though some folks tend to alleviate the symptoms with a dose or two of religion and/or philosophy!.

You just have to find what it is in the world that makes you want to be here, keep your eyes, ears & heart open and watch out for others who seem like they might be capable of understanding you!. They'll be few and far between and you'll probably end up having to hare lip h*ll before you can actually manage to forge a lasting bond with one!.!.!.

!.!.!.but forge such a bond, you most probably will!. And when it happens, it will be so strange for you that you might not even recognize it!. Just pay attention!.

We all go through this, believe it or not, though in different ways!. You'll get through it okay eventually - just keep reminding yourself that it's not always going to be this sucky!. It -does- get better!.

Good luck!. :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com
