You're not alone

Even when it seems like you are, you aren't.  Look around.  The people you see are strangers.  Even the ones you know.  Inside all of us is something that no one else can know, ever.  Do not assume that because you have spent a lot of time with someone, that there isn't some way they can surprise you.  Do not assume that any other person's perception of you matches, in any way, your perception of yourself.  When someone says to you; "I know you better than you know yourself," you can't believe them.  Knowing another person isn't what keeps us from feeling alone, remembering that we all doing our best all the time and deserve compassion is what brings companionship.  Be gentle with us, you will not be alone.
