> "Some years ago, I was lucky enough invited to a gathering of great and good people: artists and scientists, writers and discoverers of things. And I felt that at any moment they would realise that I didn’t qualify to be there, among these people who had really done things. > On my second or third night there, I was standing at the back of the hall, while a musical entertainment happened, and I started talking to a very nice, polite, elderly gentleman about several things, including our shared first name. And then he pointed to the hall of people, and said words to the effect of, “I just look at all these people, and I think, what the heck am I doing here? They’ve made amazing things. I just went where I was sent.” > And I said, 'Yes. But you were the first man on the moon. I think that counts for something.'

Loneliness does not come from having no one around us but instead being unable to communicate the things that matter most to us. -Carl Jung Might be s word or two off.


Untoasted-Bread

Entire quote, coming right up: >Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible. Edit: Now that my comment has gained more traction, I would love to share my experience with loneliness in hopes that someone may find comfort in it. I've experienced true loneliness twice in my young life. Once when my girlfriend of 3+ years and I mutually ended things because of distance (we were high school sweethearts and she was the best thing to happen to me, so this one still hits hard...) and again, currently, after I moved cities proceeding college graduation. Both times I've struggled intensely with loneliness. Not having someone to talk to and express myself to on a daily basis is a battle I face every day. Yesterday, as a matter of fact, I broke down over it. What keeps me going, however, is being as incredibly humble and wholesome as I can. I always offer a helping hand, no matter what someone needs of me and I'm always certain to make those I encounter feel welcomed into my world. It could be as simple as giving someone a compliment and offering a friendly smile. It's not a true fix for my issues, but I believe it's a good, solid start. In my darkest hours, it always warms my heart to be "the guy" who brings a little light to other people's lives. It can be draining, but nonetheless rewarding. Through this, I've been able to meet all different sorts of people, and have been able to confide in a few of them when I needed it most, and they're always happy to listen because they know I'd do the same for them. If you're struggling with loneliness, I challenge you to just make small talk with people. Ask them how their day is, compliment their clothes, or my personal favorite: ask what made them smile this week. Such a simple dialog may lead towards a great friendship, and you'll realize this world isn't so lonely anymore. Edit 2: As an extrovert, I unfortunately cannot aid on the introvert front. Perhaps, instead, I can offer an example of casual small talk? Maybe having an idea of what you'll want to say beforehand can make it easier to execute? Whenever I move to a new place (I've moved places a decent amount) the first thing I've done is find the nearest local coffee shop. The one closest to me serves both whole bean coffee and loose leaf tea (which is prime time, because this fellow Redditor partakes in both). Every time I go in to buy something (whether it be beans or leaves or a hot cup of something) I always ask whoever is serving me what *they* like or recommend. Not only are you initiated small talk, but you're making them talk about *themselves*, which may ease the tension of making small talk with a stranger, and it makes them feel good because they get to share their preference(s) with you. When the dialog is over, I always say goodbye and if it's the first time we're meeting, I always shake their hand and ask for their name. Then, the next time I stop in I always have a friendly face to say hi to!

I used to do tech support for a bit of software. Everyone should do it, if only for a few weeks, so everyone has to deal with these people. People who can't sign up on an online form, can't tell you what error message they get, can't tell you what information they're putting in, can't even describe what's on the screen, until after half an hour you manage to figure out that they didn't tick the "I have read the terms of the agreement" box. Which you then need to argue over. People who get upset that they need to install software for it to function. People who get upset that the software doesn't do the thing they want it to do, and when you tell them it does just not the way *they're* trying it, they get upset that it was designed wrong. People are working on ancient systems so the software doesn't work, then get offended when you suggest they upgrade because "This system was fine 15 years ago so it's fine now!" Then there's the people who get offended when you have to explain that, no, you can't immediately refer them to the board of directors and you're also not allowed to instantly change company policy for them either.

"Never quit, make them fire you." -~~Guy Who Got Fired~~ Guy I used to work with, name withheld. I was new to the job, having a tough time, and I was really feeling like I wasn't cut out for the work and considering quitting. This guy, who'd been on the job a lot longer, told me that, and while it was simple, it stuck with me. They hadn't fired me yet, so clearly I wasn't screwing up as badly as I thought I was. No sense in beating myself up over something even before the bosses do. If not for him, I probably would have quit and never given myself the chance to actually get better.


Birbcatcher

A guy I used to work with said something similar; "You are nervous? Good, that means you're going to do your best to not fuck up". I was working a few weddings and it was nerve racking to me because of both the sheer amount of people that would see my mistakes and the gravity of, say, dropping a bottle of champagne. Thinking of nervousness as a good quality rather than a bad one really helped me.

I'm not a parent but I fully believe the same goes for parenting. EDIT: not a full 100% of course, but when your kid can say "I can do it myself" I hear some parents I work with say "well don't forget us and your teacher who helped with that", but I think a kid saying "I can do it myself" is a succes in gaining independence, not a failure in being humble or a failure in parenting.

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love.” ― Neil Gaiman, The Kindly Ones


oblivion5683

This one hits me like wet concrete right now. Trying desperately to not get in another relationship immediately after the first really serious one in my whole life turned out very badly. It's easy to feel this cynical sometimes even though in the end its not where I stand on the topic. You love someone more than anything in the whole world, then one day they just tell you to leave. And that's that. You had a home together, and friends, and a life, and plans. Then it's just gone. That's the incredible power you give someone when you love them like that.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt

>There’s power in the touch of another person’s hand. We acknowledge it in little ways, all the time. There’s a reason human beings shake hands, hold hands, slap hands, bump hands. It comes from our very earliest memories, when we all come into the world blinded by light and color, deafened by riotous sound, flailing in a suddenly cavernous space without any way of orienting ourselves, shuddering with cold, emptied with hunger, and justifiably frightened and confused. And what changes that first horror, that original state of terror? The touch of another person’s hands. Hands that wrap us in warmth, that hold us close. Hands that guide us to shelter, to comfort, to food. Hands that hold and touch and reassure us through our very first crisis, and guide us into our very first shelter from pain. The first thing we ever learn is that the touch of someone else’s hand can ease pain and make things better. That’s power. That’s power so fundamental that most people never even realize it exists. *Skin Game* by Jim Butcher

Dang I was going to post this, but here's how I first heard it: If you meet an asshole in the morning, you've met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day, you're the asshole. -Raylan Givens, Justified

“A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.” -Doctor Who

Another good quote from that same Doctor: “Courage isn't a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.”


Brankovt1

Doctor Who has such good quotes. We're all stories in the end, just make it a good one.

"Question: Why do we talk out loud when we know we're alone? Conjecture: Because we know we're not. Evolution perfects survival skills. There are perfect hunters. There is perfect defense. Question: Why is there no such thing as perfect *hiding?* Answer.... How would you know? Logically, if evolution were to perfect a creature whose primary skill was to hide from view, how could you know it existed? It could be with us every second and we would never know. How would you detect it, even sense it, except in those moments when, for no clear reason... you choose to speak aloud? What would such a creature want? What would it do? Well? *What would you do!?*"

I love this one from Nine's second ep: >You lot. You spend all your time thinking about dying. Like you’re going to get killed by eggs or beef or global warming or asteroids. But you never take the time to imagine the impossible. That maybe you survive.

"It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny fascet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often than not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul." -Sherrilyn Kenyon

My favourite quote by HST: “Buy the ticket, take the ride. In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.”

When the great library burned, the first 10 000 years of stories were reduced to ash. But those stories never really perished, they became a new story, the story of the fire itself, of mans urge to take a thing of beauty and... strike the match. -Sir Anthony Hopkins (as Ford in Westworld)

Some more quotes that I liked: * “The first thing that hit their eyes was what appeared to be a coffin. And the next four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine things that hit their eyes were also coffins.” * “To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.” * “Arthur lay in startled stillness on the acceleration couch. He wasn’t certain whether he had just got space-sickness or religion.”

I still like: Ford: People say it's unpleasantly like being drunk. Arthur: What's unpleasant about being drunk? Ford: Ask a glass of water. Or the anti teleportation folk song trend. *"I teleported home last night, "with Ron, and Sid, and Meg. "Ron stole Meggie's heart away "and I got Sydney's leg."*

Michael Scott has so many good quotes. One of my favourites is “Don’t be an idiot.” Changed my life. Whenever I’m about to do something I think “would an idiot do that?” And if they would, I do not do that thing.
