Well believe it or not, I felt that way recently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My buddy moved to Manhattan this past April. He kept telling me about how exciting it is there, filled with energetic people and countless things to do. So I was expecting a lot when I planned an extended weekend there. The other good news was the weather. Everyone said August in NYC is terrible, but it turned out to be in the mid-80\u2019s and I love warm weather.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NYC, 8 million people, how was I going to keep up with all of the social activity? But that wasn\u2019t the case at all. I did feel good vibrations from people, but at the same time I felt insignificant there; it\u2019s hard to explain. It was like it didn\u2019t matter if I was there or not, everything would be the same. It is so different for me in California, I\u2019m not totally sure why.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_1389\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1389\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/downsized950829001035.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1389\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/index.php\/2010\/09\/13\/lonely-in-the-big-apple\/downsized950829001035\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/downsized950829001035.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"512,384\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Lonely Me in NYC\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Lonely Me in NYC&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/downsized950829001035.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1389 \" title=\"Lonely Me in NYC\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/downsized950829001035.jpg\" alt=\"Lonely Me in NYC\" width=\"410\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/downsized950829001035.jpg 512w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/downsized950829001035-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1389\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lonely Me in NYC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Remember \u2013 This Wednesday, September 15<sup>th<\/sup>, I will be posting my first JO video, but you must be a member to see it!<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Join My Website at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.PeterFever.com\/join.php\" target=\"_blank\">PeterFever.com\/join.php<\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After being there for a while, I felt like people were present physically, but isolated from people and things around them. In the park I would see people speed walking, in the subway everyone was jammed together, back at my buddy\u2019s place people could see in each other\u2019s apartments but it was more like watching TV where there was an invisible wall between me and the audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I guess what I\u2019m saying is in NYC I didn\u2019t feel special like I do back home in California.
