Laughing, burning heat, and you can't see farther than five feet in front of you because the white metal sun has lit up on everyone's head, where each hair is a wick and every wick has caught fire in a tiny explosion of light, and you shut your eyes, and people are a talking, laughing, gently undulating sea of blue shoes and brown umbrellas and white noise around you, and then suddenly, without warning, the noise is gone and you're all alone in a vacuum, and the happy, oblivious world does not even notice. One moment of isolation so complete it feels like you're drowning, and your mouth, your throat, your nostrils are filling with loneliness so fast that you can do nothing, and all that there is the world, in your head, in the universe, is you.
And in that one moment if you realize that you like yourself, you know that you will be safe anywhere.

Reminded of the line "emptiness of filling me to the point of agony" from the song Fade to Black.
It's happened to me without the last line. It's not a nice feeling, that one. And absolutely, you like yourself, you don't care who the fuck likes you or not.
