The people's comments above help to know other people suffer the same black holes. As a Financial Planner I have to deal with other people's problems, deaths, births and illness every day. However I myself get lonely and get the collywobbles as well. Sometimes I get sick of my own company and just need to talk to another human being. It would be nice to connect some time.
