Randomly, the top Google result for "I am lonely" is a message board on a site for video codecs. People who typed "I am lonely" into Google have taken over the board and formed an ad-hoc community. ~~Seven~~ Sixty-seven pages of posts!

I too was a victum of google and got to this thread. I am not really lonely just wish I had better friends. one of my good friends told my x-girlfriend(we were still friends after we broke up) a lie that I cheated on her while we were together. the girl was pissed because I told my best friend (who she was dateing) about how she was bragging that they weren't dateing anymore. I turned out that my best friend thought they were still dateing and they argue. girl gets pissed. screws up my friendship with my x (who I had known and cared about for about 2 1/2 years) and now she never looks at me the same. Worst of all my best friend backed up her story (this is a week after I talked to my best friend abut his girl). so my best friend (who I was trying to help in the first place) betrayed me. Limp bizkit once said " it's all about the he said she said bullll sh1t." and now I beleive him.
