It would be very unjust to say that you deserted me, but that I was deserted, and sometimes terribly so, is true.

I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.

I am abandoned in the world... in the sense that I find myself suddenly alone and without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, no matter what I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant.

I'm completely alone in the world; it frightens me to be so empty and lost.

I long for solitude and yet I cannot stand it.

Sometimes I feel so- I don’t know - lonely. The kind of helpless feeling when everything you’re used to has been ripped away. Like there’s no more gravity, and I’m left to drift in outer space with no idea where I’m going’
Like a little lost Sputnik?’
I guess so.

I couldn't have felt more of lonely desolation somehow, had I been robbed of a belief or had missed my destiny in life...

I've felt as if I didn't exist, as if I were invisible, miles away from the world, miles away. You can't imagine how much alone I've been all my life.

I am responsible for everything ... except for my very responsibility, for I am not the foundation of my being. Therefore everything takes place as if I were compelled to be responsible. I am abandoned in the world ... in the sense that I find myself suddenly alone and without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant.

Everyone is “extremely nice” — and yet I feel entirely alone. (“Abandonitis”).

I am an unfortunate and deserted creature, I look around and I have no relation or friend upon earth. These amiable people to whom I go have never seen me and know little of me. I am full of fears, for if I fail there, I am an outcast in the world forever.

I feel like one,
Who treads alone
Some banquet-hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he departed!

Oh, darling, I've been so miserable.

I have come to this lonely place, and here is this other.
