The human desire for social interaction and company is grossly underestimated. Loneliness- one of those things you don't know you're uncomfortable with unless you feel it. Of course this isn't true for everyone. I, for one, get very uneasy and eager for human interaction as soon as I am the only human left in my apartment. Boom. And I get an overwhelming need to meet people, many people, different people. I need action and I need it now, I want the world to move and rumble and jamm around me. I want life to be a crazy adventure. Of course, still having exams and a strict training schedule that doesn't allow for consumption of intoxicating substances does get in the way of quality party time...

The part I find most excruciating in it's silent pain is waking up after someone is gone, it may be a friend, who came for a visit, parents... or an end of relationship. The first nap I take brings about a painful realization that they're gone and I'm alone.
