I don't know you, but I feel like I've known you forever after reading your post.

We are so alike, you and I - I browse through the Missed Connections postings from time to time, reveling in their loneliness and hope that by some chance their connections can be found again. It makes my own loneliness seem less biting - that I am not the only one out there that feels so alone when we're surrounded by people day after day. Never really making that connection to anyone.

I don't know why I am replying to you - this is very out of character for me....yet I felt something, and the impulse to email you was overwhelming. It amazes me and yet makes me sad - because if you feel the same way I do, then it's lonely. Sure, I have a few people in my life that are dear to me, and yes, I am in a relationship - but as you say, it doesn't feel right. It's unfulfilling and yet I'm still in it, every day, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. I'm alone in a relationship with a person that I both love and hate. It's all very confusing, but most of all it's all very lonely.

I'm not depressed, but I know what you mean about feeling empty. I'm not sure what I expected by sending you this - just to let you know that you're not the only one that feels that way. You and I are missed connections that have never met, never known the other to exist and yet you put into words exactly what I feel.

I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for, and thank you for your post.
