Do you ever think loneliness is a good thing?

With the previous blog. I admire the people here, able to express themselves freely. Something I've been lacking for many years.
What made me today was false friends, people I'd thought I could count on, people who I'd trust and my trust is what school, movies, anime, and all that jazz tell you what it suppose to be. I guess I haven't met the right kind of people who share that same amount of meaning in trust as I do.

I had this friend, he was like a brother...we were blood brothers. For a good approximate of nine years. So young and so foolish.

He was like my little brother I never had. I made sure he'd stay out of trouble as I promised his father. I could never keep him out of trouble as he went looking for it. He attracted it. So the best I ever could were to tell white lies...if not a terrible lie to keep his parents happy. Many people who used to care about me told me I should abandon this friend. I was blind and said no. They had a very good reason. They saw through his lies where I continued to blindly believe him.
What lie was this? His motive in life. He was a very important person in the underground society of gangs. His street knowledge was unbelieveable.
What happened between us? It took nine years to figure it out. Indeed you would laugh at how slow I was figuring this out. I am indeed a very intense person in the flesh. I naturally make people feel uncomfortable. Not my intention though. My friend at the time, would make use of this. And at the end of these nine years of brotherhood, the girl I was dating at the time had asked me, "Why do you act like that around him? Why do you act like his muscle?"
I thought to myself. I never saw myself like that. I just like to intimidate people and watch them flee. I just like the feeling of making groupies disperse when I entered the scene. I guess I just never noticed what my friend was doing next time at the time.

Whoops I almost went on a tangent there...

I didn't want to be this person anymore. People eyes' spoke fear when I gazed at them. At the time I feared of being alone. I don't want to be alone. I started to avoid my friend. I only started to realised, he only stayed friends with me because he could use me to get to his way with people he didn't like. I thought I had a good friend. What a naive person I was...believing there was that "trust" I'd thought we had as blood brothers.

Weeks later he confronted me at the train station... I knew he wouldn't let go. I had to speak his language. The type of language that he understood too well.
He said,
"(name) why haven't you been picking up your phone? Man what's been happening? It's cool, I'm not mad... I just want to know what's been happening with you?"
Because I lacked management of my emotions that were just bombarding me. I was so angry, so pissed, yet sad and knew I had to bite the bullet and tell this old friend.
"You know when you said when you have a good thing happening, that other person suffers and something terrible happens in return...I'm sick of it."
I was so angry with my eye's watering.
"That dream you had of us... Us fighting each other to death... I guess this is where we walk our own paths."
He looked at me. He had sunglasses on. But I could see his reaction...that same look when you are in denial.

That's just a fragment of my life in the past. A memory that bothers me at times of loneliness.
I wonder if there are people who are willingly to hear my story of how I became alone.
I'll be happy to answer any questions that may pop up, to clarify what I meant...I just hope I give the proper meaning to it and not lose it in translation. I know how everyone perceives what their senses tell them differently
if someone reads it haha

Icealote, this may seem weird, but you sound a lot like myself right now.

Over time, I get to realise that what I like in people is the beautiful lies they use to impress me. Lies..

I hate this. It's as though people are losing their sense of morality.

I'm gonna be honest with you, there's probably only around 3 people I know on this planet that I can actually trust.

And, with the exception of these few people, I hate going out. I want to be alone, because I don't want to deal with people that don't understand.

It only gets worse over time. I feel like a prisoner of my own conscience, when it's really not me in the wrong here.

Then again, staying at home isn't any better. I live in a horrible family with abusive parents. (I've blogged about that before, in case you're wondering)

That's when I'm really just.. screwed. I don't wanna stay at home, nor do I want to go out and deal with the corrupted people of today. Where do I go?

I would go ahead, get a job and not depend on my parents anymore, but the main issue here is that I'm thirteen, and I still have to put up with secondary school. :/
 
@Firegrey Could you please explain this so I can understand what you meant? That's an unusual way of saying things. I approve lol

@Lucifer666 - *nods* Agreed. Morality...it seems like it can only be passed on from a moral person to another. I just think people are starting to worry more about social image. Terrible waste of time. I'm a hypocrite also. Why? You just have to adjust so people CAN leave you alone. Scary as it may seemed... that old friend told me if I wanted to cope with my life, just put a facade. No one will know. Only you...and certain others who do the same.
I've read through some of your blogs...you got some terrible comments made from certain Tempers. It's a sad thing to see it.
 
This is the change our first-world countries have had. Keeping others at arms length keeps yourself afloat, as my father calls it.

There are few people I'd be truly honest with as society is today.
 
I usually keep to myself. This is because I just feel that the more friends you have, the more chances you give yourself to get stabbed in the back. Yeah I'll hang out with a couple people if they invite me somewhere, but that's where it ends. Do I think lonliness is a good thing? Sometimes, it just depends on the type of person you are.

If you're someone who feels they always need to be around people or else they'll go crazy, you have to be more cautious of the friends you choose to have and the people you hang out with.
 
@Ace - Wise words. Yeah I've only started to realise that... Sad thing to know hmm.

@Jehuty25 - I agree with you there. It's also hard to keep track with everyone. It only takes one person to single you out and others follow like the dirty sheep they are. I feel like it's a life's journey to know what kind of person you are.
Haha the question to that... how cautious do you have to be?
 
I keep to myself. There's two people I trust in this world. A guy who I talk to every day on IRC, and myself. I hate my life. Two worlds; home, and corruption. I like neither. It's why I spend my time on IRC or forums. Most of the time you don't get bombarded by corrupted minds. I've grown up with loneliness, and honestly. I enjoy it much more than hanging around with others. I've been backstabbed a few times. Move on and forget I guess....
 
@TheDreamLord - Yeah that seems the best choice to do. Move on.and forget if we can.
