I can believe that and really if you think about it, it makes a of sense for someone who is very lonely.

I will never forget when I was a brand new nurse working in the emergency room, of course I had to work every holiday. It was Thanksgiving and I had a man that was screaming that he was having chest pain. (Chest pain is almost always a guarenteed admission) Anway, they did get admitted and I was waiting for the patient to be transported upstairs. All I had to give the patient to eat was a turkey sandwhich on white bread, Trust me they are horrible sandwhiches I ate them as a nurse and as a patient when I was desperate.

Anyway, I brought the sandwhich in to the man and he asked me to stay with him while he ate it. I did when he was done, he burst into tears and told me he was so alone and didn't want to spend the holiday by himself and that he made the entire thing up that he had no chest pain.

You can get mad at something like that but my heart broke, shattered. How is it that someone can be so lonely that they would make up pain, and who in the name of God would want to be in a hospital.

I think the world is so full of people who are alone, scared, and in dire need of love. All of us need love, lucky for us. We find it in our family and friends. I know anyone of us would kill to be healthy. I know I would.

I just know I personally do stupid stuff for ppl to love me as well, like allow ppl to not be as nice to me as they should, or put other ppl's feelings first before mine always. I could go on, and NO I would never play on ppl's emotions or screw with someone EVER and don't get me wrong, I think it is totally insane.. Just very sad.

Wow, that's a sad story, Jennifer. I never thought of it like that, but you certainly make sense!
