I love myself. I don't know anyone else who can handle countless rejections so well. Who else can pick themselves up out of the dirt (literally every day) after being taken advantage of, legally robbed, disregarded, insulted or even just forgotten?
I have extreme powers of empathy and selflessness. I'm generous to a fault. I'm intelligent, witty, creative, ambitious, successful, handsome and healthy. I'm also a manically depressed bi-polar, but no one knows and no one suspects. I've kept it hidden from all but the curious. Unfortunately, those showing curiosity towards me are non-existent.
There's no reason for this loneliness, this abandonment... Why has everyone left me? I've no caring family, friends, or partner. So I love myself. Not because of narcissism or arrogance, but because I have to. Somebody does. —Someday I'll Get to Love Someone, But For Now...

...after having endured so much pain. I told you I knew the right answer would be that I didn't. You told me there was no right answer. I still couldn't say either way for sure. And now after another go-round and enduring another period of pain, of questioning, of searching, of self-doubt, I can safely say that I don't regret it. Not at all. I have grown more, learned more and become a better communicator, a better friend, a better person over this past year than in a long time. I have been living my life. Thanks so much for listening. It's meant a lot. —Not Necessarily Hoping it Happens the Same Way Again
I still cannot believe it's true. How and why? It will never make sense. It breaks my heart to see you hurting. I wish I could change it for you. I know things will never be the same for you and it kills me inside. It's all too surreal. Praying for your happiness, hope that you recover. You're my heart. You are the strongest boy I'll ever know. You'll make it through this I know you will. Remember, it's good to cry. —Help Me Help You
I don't know if it's the dropping temperatures that's to blame for all of the 'love lost' posts on here lately or what, but for goodness sake just talk TO the person who you're missing/have feelings for/whatever! As lovely as they are to read here on a public forum (no sarcasm! I think they are really quite sweet d'awww), there is a very, very slim chance that the person it's written for will not only see it, but also assume that it's meant for him/her. No matter how the ending went down/didn't go down, sending your person a quick message/text/whatever will likely do more good than harm...at the very least, you could get closure. So go on, try it! —What's the Worst That Could Happen?
Wandering down to the grocery store and seeing your beautiful blue eyes and giddy smile, made any day worthwhile. I know times can be rough, and stress can get the best of us, so take two minutes. Take two minutes, sit down with this paper, relax, and bite your lip as you think to yourself whether or not this submission could be about you. I miss, and love, every single thing about you. I'll be home before you know it. —Jim H.

To the wonderful boy playing "Wagon Wheel" on the guitar while walking through my neighbourhood, thank you. I was sad because I had gotten off work at 12, and consequently missed all of Nocturne, but you definitely made my night a bit better. —Seeking Art at Night
Yes men have asked me out but, you are the ONLY man I love. Loyalty actually means something to me. I miss you. —Dazed and Confused But Still Hanging On
We met very briefly awhile back, then you were gone! Anyway, you made an impression. —Girl Afraid
You were on my bus the other night coming home from work and there were a few times we would catch each glancing over at one another. I thought it was sweet after we got on the same bus together again you finally said something. Just wanted to let you you know, it was nice to have a decent (yet very short) conversation with a stranger for once. Thanks for putting a smile on this girl's face. —Nocturne Girl
It was a Saturday evening, I was at the check out doing the math in my head if I could afford the groceries. I held my breath and thought I allowed enough but the message said declined. So I said I will just use a credit card, I was embarrassed and tried, incorrect PIN so I said well take something away and let me try again. Declined, I was by this point red in the face but a stranger offered to pay and said it was his good turn. It was $24.78 but to me it could have been a million, thank you to that stranger in the line. I will do a good turn for someone soon. —Broke in Line
