Pretty much the worlds' expectations stay the same. You are, what you make of yourself. Practice has show me, that people will miss you if you are important to them, thus, make yourself valued
Be a friend, a teacher, a supporter, a pain in the ass, anything that gets you noticed.

I feel like this when I'm low. I do know that my family would miss me - but I then worry that my friends wouldn't care. Like I am some burden to them and they'd be glad not to have me around. I wish men were more expressive with there emotions and how they feel about people - they don't say stuff like "we are good friends" or are they meant to? I dunno... I feel like I am not sure whether my friends are true friends sometimes. I mean I see them every day and talk to them a lot - but I'm always left with this crippling doubt that they do not actually like me or are friends with me out of pity.
rambled a bit on this one. back to the subject.
Right now I do not think I am one of the forgotten - although I am scared of that one day becoming true and I certainly feel like that when I'm in a low mood...

I own your soul, coyote... so... technically you live it for me. But yeah, good mentality otherwise.

I was thinking about this the other day, were I to die, only my mother and sister would be there. My father by default as he'd be driving them there, lol. But, that's life. I will get better, and there will be other people in my life. To be honest, I do not miss the old people in my life. Sometimes I feel like I want to go back and change what I did back in the day, undo the cutting of every connection outside my immediate family. But this period of incredible internal growth would never have happened otherwise. I somewhat strayed from the topic, lol. Sometimes yes I do, but I am hopeful of what is ahead of me!

^ I definitely feel this too. Sometimes I feel like my friends aren't really my "true" friends. I talk to them, but some days I feel like maybe I'm not worth it. That they'd rather not listen to me, but they do so anyway just because they must feel sorry for me or something.
Unfortunately lately I've had a falling out with one friend, and she clearly doesn't care. I tried to make it work, even confronted her about her attitude, and well, it didn't work. She tries to tell me that I'm "her best friend" but she hardly speaks a word to me. And when she does, it's only to tease me, talk about her boyfriend, or lie to me. >.> I shouldn't worry about it, I should know I'm probably better off not being around her. Sorry for rambling on about that. Just needed to vent.
^ Definitely with you on this one. I never could quite grasp why most men feel they can't express their emotions. I'd rather a guy be sensitive and totally open then to keep it all bottled up... But then again, I keep everything bottled up and I never express myself, and I'm a chick. :X

I can definitely relate to that! My best of nearly a decade was a liar and gossip, ditched his sorry behind and never looked back. Why bother with people like that? Eish.

^ Yeah, this friend I was dealing with was my friend for 6 years. I'm just realizing how much she has lied to me, and she even talked about me behind my back a little bit. :
: And I'm usually very cautious of these things, and pretty good at telling when people are lying. I just feel so stupid that I believed what she told me. Yeah, I definitely don't want to deal with people like that again.

Don't feel bad about it. Nobody can be a perfect judge of character, particularly when you are dealing with a skilled master of deceit! Gossip and paranoia are real killers, especially for us.

^ Yes, gotta admit she was a really good liar. And those definitely are real killers.

@coyote: No person is an island. I think most people have the need to socialize.. I mean if you're really someone who doesn't work (or can't find a job), have difficulty keeping friends... etc...
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it's enough to just say that "I'm living my life for myself." Because sooner or later, loneliness will creep on you. I am not immune or even resistant to that.
@ blackpuma: Thanks.. I sometimes wonder though at the people who are so anxious that they can't even post here... They're not merely forgotten. Were never even recognized or remembered in the first place.
@ others: Thanks for your insights.

My pet cockatiel would be very unhappy.
People are busy getting on with their lives
I'm busy trying to get along with mine.
I think I have many people who may notice in time. A few people would if I stop writing my blog, my family may eventually call me on the phone, citing that communication is a two way street. People at work would notice and think I am bludging and want to sack me. I would still be sent bills.

perhaps something was lost in the translation
i try to live my life for myself (meaning "on my own terms"), not by myself (meaning "alone")
i didn't mean i wanted to be alone and not socialize
in fact, i hate being alone, and I really enjoy interacting with others
I simply meant that I do things in my life - work, play, create, laugh, love - because those things are important to me, not in an effort to be important to others

Yeah, I really feel like that, albeit to a less extent than a few years back.
It's a difficult feeling to deal with, but I think we just need to find a place for ourselves in the world.
I've been trying to help people, like my classmates, not because I want or expect anything from them... Just to stop being an island, to make some sort of bond and just because it actually makes me feel good helping someone even if I don't get anything in return.
