Lonely?

I think every single one of us, young or old, black or white, chinese or Indian or Malay, fat or thin, will all share something common, which is that, no one likes to be lonely, and unfortunately, all of us have at some point in our lives, feel terribly lonely.
Also another interesting thing is that, we feel lonely sometimes, eventhough we are surrounded by lots of people. Not that we have no one around to talk to, or to share with, or that we have no friends to socialize with. But have you ever found yourself shying away from the people around you, not sharing your feelings or hiding how you really feel, because you just know how they are going to react, or that they will brush it aside, being more concerned about their own feelings? The people in our lives, so closely associated with us, perhaps become ever so slightly less sensitive to our feelings maybe? Or is it that maybe we have told these things to the people close to us, and, not wanting to tell the person the same thing twice, just avoid doing so? But then, for some reason, you just need to unload your burden again to a willing ear?
Naturally, we try to avoid repeating ourselves again and again to the same person right? And when there is no one else to talk to about the burden in our hearts, what happens? Thats when you get lonely. Thats when you feel that no one in this world truely understands you, because how could they, when they dont even know how you feel? How can people close to you claim they know you, if they do not know?
Is it any wonder the internet is so popular? How many people are there out there, staring at their computers, hoping to just find a willing listener? How many people out there actually keep blogs hoping someone reads them, and understand how they feel? How many people are hoping to reach out and establish a connection with someone, anyone, just to avoid feeling so alone?

As of just now, ive counted one.
