Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was getting a pedicure to cheer myself up. I've been so lonely, I got overly excited when someone sat next to me, because I got to pretend I had a friend. FML

I believe it was I who said…
Today, I was so lonely that I had a conversation with myself on my way home. It was only when I reached my apartment complex that I discovered that my neighbour had been walking behind me, laughing to himself the whole way. FML

Today, while driving home, I was so lonely I turned on my GPS, even though I knew the way, so it would feel like I had someone to talk to. It made me feel better. FML

That doesn't seem all that weird to me in and of itself. It's basically what I paid for to have my therapist teach me to do. If a pep talk helps you feel a little less miserable, then give yourself the best damn pep talk you can. If you have any hobbies, maybe see if there are meetups in your area that you could go to? A book club, a knitting club, a D&D night at the local store, whatever. It's built-in conversation material, and might help you reach out to people in person.

Get a dog. You won't be so desperate for affection then. This can prevent you from making a really bad choice when picking a human. I tried self-pep talks but they always ended up being the rants of an angry football coach after a badly-played first half.
