Loneliness is a very subjective term. All have different interpretations. Some will say that it is a sign of grief, some say that it is a personal choice and others judge you for it. You may even feel close alone in a group of family, or in a social area, which you may think.
However, being alone or feeling alone is something that most of the younger generation is going through. Social media has spread its roots in our mind and soul and thus has superficial expectations. On friendship day 2020, I want to bring to your knowledge why it is better to be alone than fake friends.
Yet people have not found any true friends even before the age of Internet and Instagram. In my case, I had no friends since kindergarten until the 4th grade. And now at the age of 24 again I have some close companions to trust.
Last night I walked along my trail of thoughts and realized how my childhood left an impression on the present. Nothing has changed even now, however, I have some friends I can trust and depend on. Its always more quality than quantity that I didn’t feel in elementary school.

Friendship Day 2020 Lesson
So now that things are getting real hot. This was an era of absolute darkness and loneliness in my life. I was promoted to first grade and I felt that classmates had made changes that would allow me to make some new friends.
Well, it was not according to my complete proof plan and always like alone. But I hoped that I would at least make a good friend. My class teacher was really polite and welcoming by nature. She was old and meek never treated anyone more or less.
It was a tradition in our school to dig up your school uniform on your birthday and distribute candy to your classmate. So I insisted my mother get me candies and prepare for her birthday. Secretly I wanted to make a friend. So it was a difficult period for my family as we were suffering from serious financial issues.
My mother somehow arranged the chocolate. So the big day came when I was all excited but who knew that this would be my first and last celebration. Everyone greeted me when I went to school. For the first time in my life, I was getting noticed, it was a terrible feeling.
But during recess everyone’s attention was sucked into my system, everyone let their friend go for lunch and I sat in a corner at my lunch. Candy seems not to have played her magic enough. I was never invited to birthday parties, even if I was present, nobody cared.

This left a sour taste in my mouth. This continued for a few years when I stopped trying and the friendship naturally moved towards me. I was very patient and never fell short.
Conclusion
As I grew up the candies were replaced with someone who was always your beak and call. I offered shoulders to people who had no one to trust. Nevertheless, I have now come to a point where I do not give anything for anything. I do it selflessly without any malice.
I have friends now but there is no one whom I call best or close friend. Yes you can make friends. This is not rocket science, but be sure what kind of influence they have on you. Do not get entangled with such people if you are constantly afraid of being released or are under peer pressure.
