I feel there is a sad shadow over me?

Friends become friends because of the things that bring them together. Usually it is a common interest. What has brought you to this group or even your childhood friend is loneliness. Why would you believe then that you would have something other than loneliness from this friendship ? Yes it is great to have long term friendships. Some of my friends I have known for over 25 years. When I feel alone though I don't go to them because this is not what we have in common. I will grow in my loneliness. Then share it with my friends. They are support.
