secretagent09: Do you want someone to love or someone to love you?I found happiness when I loved someone else.
When you love someone else you give off vibes that will make you more accessible. The person you love may not love you at the moment but they will see a difference in you that might make you more interesting to them.
Surround yourself with people, animals and things that YOU love. You might be surprised what happens next.
Like I said, no one really understands my plight. Rejection has always been part of my life, and I am very tired of it. All i want is someone to love me, care about me. And i would also do the same for them. That sounds like it is impossible to find in this day and age.
Positive attracts positive, find happiness in yourself etc. are all wonderful sentiments and concepts to strive for, but they are all coping mechanisms to try and delude one's self into believing that one is happy and doesn't need love. The reality is that sometimes you are alone, sometimes you feel so lonely and abandoned that it hurts like all heck. There are no guarantees that love will ever find you. But we have to try and hold on to hope, that maybe, just maybe, love will appear in your life. Until then, do whatever you must to survive each day, one at a time.
Happiness can't be 'found' because this means you are looking. It's like trying to see something in very low light. The harder you try to see it, the harder it is to see. Don't look at it, and you can see it. Stop looking.

I imagine a lot of people are exactly looking for that (I know I do) and it is hard to find someone compatible to get on with.
We all faced and will face rejection, it is never nice but it's all part of it.
You sound a bit as if you think that the whole world is against you, change your attitude, parts of your life if necessary and just try to be a happy person for your own sake. It'll help with a lot of things in your life.

are you a counceller you give out some good advice always with a good heart
If you have found it, you are not looking for it. If you are looking for it, you will not find it. It is a state of being, not a measurable journey. It is a decision, not a result. It is a mindset, not an academic exam. It is an actualization, not a daydream.
johnjjm: are you a counceller you give out some good advice always with a good heart
Hi John, nothing like that, I just had some things going on in my life years ago which I didn't ask for. I changed a lot of things in my life and I'm happy with how things are now. I might be a smartass sometimes, but I never wish harm on anybody.
chatonlyman2: If you follow your goals and achieve them one at at time you will be in happiness. Happiness knows no Borders.
Ok. I sometimes think of it as an ability to not let anything offset your peace of mind. Be able to let things roll off you, like a duck's back. Something like that. It's not that Life won't give you lemons, it's that you learn to make lemonade. Few often either don't have to accept something, or we can learn to turn it into a good thing for us. I really believe this.

no I don't consider you a smartass I think you are very truthfull and very pleasant hope this is good
Certainly you can use lemons and make Lemonade but that wont make you Happy. Having goal(s) in ones life will store peace and happiness to give us strength to overcome the problems of knowing somebody.

Are you just not getting it, or are you wanting to quibble? Of course it in and of itself will not "make you happy". It was a metaphor, possibly a much over-used one, but intended to illustrate, not confusticate. (laugh a little--does your screen name mean turtle, by the way? Just wondering.....)
it's all about perception change one's perception, change one's reality. acceptance plays a huge part. acceptance doesn't mean continuing to go along with something that makes you unhappy. acceptance is awareness, and then one makes choices. but i think you are right, it's about finding our own abilities to have peace of mind.
