[QUOTE="BlackSilver, post: 2526463, member: 22250"] Dakkareth, taking an optimistic view of life is sometimes a hard thing to do. Take stock in the friends you have. Speak to those that you think of as friends and ask them to define your relationship. You would not have posted here without something to say, however depressed you feel life is not so bad that you can’t find one person to call friend here. If you have a little trouble with finding a friend then reach out to people you don’t know- hold the door for a stranger, at the grocery store let the person with a few items cut in front of you with your basket load, strike up a conversation with the person next to you in, while you wait in a line (don’t be freaky, just be kind), and don’t be afraid to smile at people. Being polite and kind will help you feel better about yourself, and find the optimistic view in life. Harmon, I find it very hard to believe that you are not a good friend. I do not know how you are in person, but I see you here, and you have impressed me with your moral choices. Standing by those that quite obviously think of you in a not so friendly tone, while you defend them as a friend. You have made your apologies, and done all you can do (standing by a promise when most would have abandoned it). You have stepped in to defend those being wronged, and you have stated that you have taken action to defend and help others when no one else would (how true this is, I can not know from here, but I have a feeling that what you have said is truthful enough). One day we will meet in person, and I will call you Friend. [/QUOTE]
