When you sleep all day and you're up all night you start to think about life (mostly from loneliness and there is no one to talk to that actually talks back).

are you sure you need to feel Needed or do you think it's possible that you need to feel Wanted?
i really only ask this because i've had the latter situation many times. i fool myself into saying that i need to be depended upon when really it's me who needs to depend on others. not for help, but for time and effort. as a person who spent a LOT of time alone, i just wonder if you're in the same state.

but don't lose hope, there is another avenue you can try. how about scheduling time together? for instance, call them up and say, Man, it's been forever since we did _____________. Let's get together for some laughter on ___________. Then, you have evaded the whole You-suck-as-a-friend conversation.

Thanks helping me get some of it cleared up. Its been bugging me for a really long time. :)
