Well... Sometimes when i'm wrapped up in
myself (please don't take offense; i'm
just speaking from my own experience. I
have no idea whether you're wrapped up in
yourself or not.), it does seem like life
is meaningless. If you don't help others
and improve the world for them and for the
next generation, life is indeed utterly
pointless.
If you're able to, think about
volunteering just an hour each week (or
every other week) to work in a soup
kitchen or nursing home. Just talking to
people who are worse off than you are can
make you feel a lot better-- especially if
you're able to help them.
Don't worry about proving yourself. If
they can't see what a cool person you are,
that's their loss! And again, from
personal experience, sometimes I realize
that being wrapped up in my own little
problems can repel people. People are
attracted to people who look at other
people... I don't know why or how or
anything, but it just seems to hold
true.
Sometimes we're just introverted and want
to spend time by ourself. There's
nothing wrong with that, but even
introverts need to socialize every once in
a while! Take it easy, and if you ever
want to socialize over msn or yahoo or
just email, pm me and i'll give you my
contact info.

I can see the
benefits of that... But at the same
time, I would hate not to feel happiness,
and a handful of other nice emotions.
And love can be good, sometimes...
Especially when you find someone to love
you back.
