In today's society it is so easy to feel alone, even when you are in a room of complete strangers. Rather than having one on one conversations we would rather text someone or write on their facebook wall. Don't get me wrong, I love social networking. I just think that it has become a crutch for a lot of people and has made it easier to have superficial friendships. Sure you may have 400 friends on your friend list, but how many really know what you are struggling with?
The bible tells us that it is important to have friends:
True Friends Strengthen and Help Each Other
Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Proverbs 27:17 NIV
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
So maybe today you should leave your comfort zone and try to be a real friend to someone. They are probably just as lonely as you are...
