If you have an art that needs a practice, stop neglecting it, if your family doesn’t get you or a religious sect is not meant for you, don’t obsess about it.

We can start with the acceptable places, the bathroom, the coffee shop, the library, where you can stall and read the paper, where you can get your caffeine fix and sit and stay there. Where you can browse the stacks and smell the books; you’re not supposed to talk much anyway so it’s safe there.
But no one is in your head. And by the time you translate your thoughts an essence of them maybe lost or perhaps it is just kept. Perhaps in the interest of loving oneself, perhaps all those “sappy slogans†from pre-school over to high school groaning, we’re tokens for holding the lonely at bay.
If you are at first lonely, be patient. If you’ve not been alone much, or if when you were, you weren’t okay with it, then just wait. You’ll find it’s fine to be alone once you’re embracing it. There is also the gym, if you’re shy, you can hang out with yourself and mirrors, you can put headphones in. Then there’s public transportation, because we all gotta go places.
I may sound a bit stuck up, but it’s hard for a Nice Guy to prove a point. Every time we do what we do, or try to validate what we do, we are labeled ‘gay’ or ‘stupid,’ just as you have defined us as ‘spineless.’ I am in fact thinking of developing a website to give a little extra motivation to the Nice Guys.
