Feeling very lonely. It's Navaratri/Dasara, the festivities are in full swing. The whole ten days starting from today our city and its people are gonna be super busy for what during off season is a sleepy city. It's like Christmas over here. the whole city is buzzing. especially during the evening so many events happening, the illumination of city in itself is quiet an attraction. Family, friends, young & old are busy and making merry attending programes here and there.
I sit here alone and it's one of the most depressing times of the year (another being new year's eve) for me and has been for many years now. when I was in college it was fun with my classmates. since 2007 occasions like these only make me more depressed. My parents, relatives ask me aren't you gonna go out and I'm like "where to, with whom?" worst still when my cousins and other relatives say "Oh! we had been here, we had been there and were you interested in coming we thought of asking you to come but... " I'm like :crying:
I especially can't stand being a loner during new years eve, new year's eve has been the loneliest of times for me all these years. I still remember I was in class tenth in 1999-2000 I was watching 'Titanic' on television and switching channels for the years top 100 songs on Mtv or channel-V or something. I'd rather be dead than feel like a dead dog. You know I always feel sorry for road kills. Nobody cares for these once breathing and alive animals. They lie there dead, mutilated(sorry for graphic descriptions) and they lie there no one cares even myself me and other people just pass It by sometimes covering our nose and making disgusting faces. I at these times of the year feel exactly like a road kill who nobody cares.
I become this anti-social person hating everyone, while feeling sad. It's a bad feeling. My therapist on the other hand thinks this is the best opportunity that I need to make use of, "an antidote to my social phobia" he says. He says friends or no friends I have to get my *** off the couch and get involved in the celebration. I do want to do that. but, the only anxiety bumping into my acquaintances, relatives and family and them asking "who's with you" then I'll be feeling like this lonely creep out in the dark.
I really want to get out, be there even if all by myself and may be i'll just roam around from one venue to other all me and myself for company, may be take my camera with me.
