Anyone completely alone?

Anyone completely alone? My entire life, I've been going through the the motions you're supposed to go through. Go to school, get good grades, go to university, land yourself a job. Everyone single one of them, completely alone. Everyone now and then I convince myself to go do something fun; a concert, a night out maybe, just an attempt to make myself feel slightly better. And all I've realized through these pathetic attempts is that the defining part of most experiences are the people you have to share them with. Without friends, people who genuinely enjoy your company, most things are just tedious, repetitive chores. The fun part is being together. I don't know what the point of this post is. I'm coming back from a concert, slightly tipsy, reminded of just how alone I am; I guess I just want to find comfort in a fellow friendless friend. What's the point in living like this, completely alone, unable to communicate. It's all the work without any of the good stuff. It's meaningless, all a chore. A night without a dawn.
