Many people have compared loneliness to being lost in the dark, waiting for someone to light up their day and give them a way out. Sometimes people are lost in the dark even when there is someone there to show them the way. It's not that they don't want to leave the darkness. It's the fact they are not sure where they're going, and anything that is not darkness is something new, different, maybe even terrifying.
The best advice I could give to someone is to pay attention more to the words that the body speaks rather than the lips that actually speak them. There is a real connection between loneliness and darkness, happiness and brightness. If you see someone for the first time or for the 1000th time, I think it means something when they are still excited to see you. Look at their body and facial expressions. Ever heard of someone just lighting up at a certain moment?
The expressions may be different depending on how well you know the person, and the history between the two of you. A second of eye contact, a smile, or even a glare can all mean the same thing. You be the judge of what it means to you and your relationship with that person.
I'm going to end with a few questions as I often do...
Is there someone in your life that lights up at just the sight of you? Talking to you? Do they make you feel the same way?
