state of the art cutting edge feelings

So often the source of our anxiety is assumption. I am quicker to assign intentions to people than to actually put myself in their shoes. And almost every time my assumptions are erroneously incorrect.
It would be so much easier to get through this petty human life, if we humans decided to use our words more often. It's ironic that in the age of social media, we are so bad at communicating our feelings with one another.
It's also a strange feeling when there is no dearth of people to hang out with, to study with, or to go to some stupid bar with..and still you feel this void inside your very being.
I don't know what it is, but so often I feel empty, wanting even. Loneliness doesn't quite seem to do the feeling justice.
It's more than a loneliness. It's like an overwhelming blanket of despair.
It's like wanting to go to sleep, but finding yourself in tears instead. Wide awake, and crying. But with no proper articulation of that which is making you cry.
Sometimes it's hard to tell someone how you feel, and that's why I really don't think too much of talk therapy. I think there's so much more to the human experience than can be encapsulated in words, much less in the sparse, measured words of someone sitting across a well-meaning but ill-advised therapist.
It's really frustrating, to be honest. You know that there are people in your life--who'd be willing to lend a shoulder...even an ear..but you are wary of asking. Because you're not really sure what to ask for.

I don't know what I'm getting at here...but I think that's the point.
I wish people could actually feel.
