I remember at my b-day parties when I was little, thinking I had a lot of friends. I’m guessing they were more like acquaintances. Now I have someone I go to dinner with occasionally, but that’s it. It’s hard to make real friends, especially when you aren’t in school. And I'm so introverted, the thought of going out and meeting people just exhausts me.

That being said, I know plenty of people with boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses that are lonely.

Being Prince, I'm sure he took every relationship he had with a grain of salt and he got burned plenty of times. I don't think fans are friends. Everyone has an agenda.

2 things... 1) I just saw a clip from Lopez where P's in red and showing George Lopez a yellow guitar. When George asks if P had others, P sorta smiles sadly and says something like, "No, people steal from me." 2) I read an old interview from Rolling Stone magazine where the interviewer drove with P to pick up his Dad to play pool on his Dad's birthday. P's driving his Dad's white 1966 Thunderbird (from the Alphabet video) and his Dad's carefully driving the purple BMW that P got him for a previous birthday). Anyway, earlier P takes the interviewer around to the neighborhood he grew up in and then to the modest purple split level house with the recording studio, behind the gates with the heart/peace sign. The one that was later torn down. So, fame and money were still fairly new and P was still young and trying to live in a step up from regular life. Like imagine how you live right now and you think that if you can live in your house, but upgrade a few things, keep living the way you live but get a car that runs better, buy a few toys. That's sad cuz of where he was in life, but he mentioned how he wished his friends (which would be old friends from childhood and his bandmates up to the 1999 era at this point) would visit much more, but he felt that they felt they were bothering him but that he missed them. I was SOBBING. That was before PR, before PP, and he already was behind a gate with security because he said more aggressive fans would come by and be buzzing the bell or driving past, blaring his music. He said he didn't mind fans dropping by but his neighbors would complain about the disturbance cuz even though it was a nice area, it was as a regular neighborhood and the houses weren't really far away from each other. The interviewer said P was a good neighbor. The whole thing made me nauseous. Here he was, a young guy just trying to live his dream, only to find himself already lonely and cut off from his regular life. I can only imagine how much worse it all got the more famous/rich he got. That's how someone becomes a legendary icon...and dies alone in an elevator in their home compound. It makes me sad and angry for him. [Edited 8/12/16 0:48am]

This is so sweet Nodin!

I am so grateful for my friends and family who have respected my mouring of the loss of the man I've loved my whole life

I am still trying to figure that out. Is what it is and I am glad for it. I have NEVER cried when a famous person passed. But Prince. Hit me hard. Cried like a baby tonight once again reading up on the post regarding a memorial today for him. That was my first post on the forum. . this is my second. I am so grateful for prince.org. And for this particular forum as well.

I'm too young for this article to be about my experiences, but hopefully some of you can relate to it!

I've Spent 33 Years with Prince's Music and My Life Is Better for It

From: http://www.xojane.com/ent...ce-tribute

[Edited 8/12/16 22:56pm]

Glad this forum ishere as I have the same reaction and I don't understand why his death has bothered me so much. I never met him, but have been a fan since the beginning although somewhat lacksadaisical. Life got in the way. I know this sounds stupid but he awakened something in me...I had come out of a 30 year marrige and swore off men. I havent had a date in over 10 years and thought that ok. My friends thought I was nuts. I found Prince very attractive even at my age...I repeat would have done him in a heartbeat and it made me realize, hey I'm not dead, still have a little bit goin on and make use of what you got and the time you got left. Although, like some other orgers have said am now forever disappointed I missed my chance to hook up with P. (Not that there was ever a chance). I think P was lonely also....his actions make it sound that way. I htought the journalist said that P's fear was to be alone. I dont think we die alone.... one of my relatives who died in a hospital and a nurse taking care of them related this story. The nurse came in to give him r meds or check monitors, he was in his final hours and had not spoken for a few days. He told her to move out of the way, that she was blocking his view. The nurse turned and looked; no one was there and there were no windows in the room. He sat up in his bed and smiled. He died within the hour. I can only think that Someone came to get him and accompany him to peace.

Kinda missing him 2 day

My son just asked me why Prince makes me cry. I was watching Prince sing on the Musicology DVD tour and was reduced to tears. I said that to make a young woman cry ( I was one once so I remember), just about all you need is a pretty face and a slow song. He said you mean like Justin Bieber (who he is not a fan of )? I said yes like that (no offense to the young folks who are here who like him). To make a 50 plus women sob, takes soul and groove and words that fill you to the brim and then overflow. Prince stands alone in that category for me. My sweet 11yr old boy then sat and held me. I love my son for understanding and I miss Prince in my world.

Am I missing something here? What does gender have to do with it?

jayseajay said:

I've been thinking about this a lot - because man, this shit is hard - and I think it's a whole bunch of things, many of which have been mentioned, but with P, it's all of them at once...

- The world is getting more and more commercialized and trashy, and P represented the importance of realy, authentic music, and the type of community that could create, as opposed to it being all about brands and image and bullshit...

- Almost no-one could channel energy/love the way he did, he could just open himself and out it came, and that is incredibly rare and precious, and I can't think of anyone else who can do it...and its just such a phenomenal loss...

- It's a dark year in general, and everything seems to be getting way darker and he knew that, and saw it coming, and told us we all needed to stick together, and now he's not effing here...and we need him...

- I think for a lot of us middle aged women, he was really tied up with our sexual awakenings, and losing him has taken us back to that, and what he represented for us then, and y'know, to think about the difference between how we felt when we were 14 or whatever, and the real life and real men that came after that...which was not always quite so sexy...

- There was the human bit of P (which as we know, was as human as everyone), and then there's the artist, and what he could do, and the fact that there is something just so otherworldly and transcendent about it...and it feels like that can't and shouldn't and won't die, and at the same time, he's dead and it makes no sense at all...

- The way he died was awful and shocking and tragic and confounding and so so wrong for someone who lived the kind of life he lived, and it's not okay, and it's just really really hard to come to terms with...

- And it also I think, really stimulates the protective part of us, because we realize now there was something really not okay with him, and we want to be able to do something about it and help him or get someone to help him, and we can't and we never will and it's too late and that just totally sucks...

So yeah, lots of stuff...

Yeah, all roads lead to dick-pics... That's what I love most about Prince famdon. Pure shameless female lust. It's what our boy asked for, and we are happy to deliver

So much better than porn. So. Much. Better. If most porn understood what gets us hot as well as P did, I'd watch a lot more porn

But who cares? Just sayin' that some blokes love Prince as eye candy, too. And I've actually met women who, gasp, didn't think Prince was all that. I disagree wholeheartedly, but there ya go...
