loneliness

No sob story... But sitting in the shopping center today having lunch by myself... quite content watching people go by getting on with there lifes, with friends and family. It got me thinking, Im 20 and ive pretty much had no direct contact with 'friends' for 24 months ? Ive pretty much spent the last two years alone on a day to day basis, at weekends, after work. Ill go shopping by myself, Eat out alone, go to the cinema alone on occasion. It seems quite sad but im quite content with my own company.. or at least over that time period ive developed the skill of being happy in my own company. Dont get me wrong, I spent time with parents in the house, and work with work-colleagues but its not the same.

Anyone else in a similar situation? And quite content? I do miss company and having people to share experiences with, to speak with and spend time with but there simply hasnt been any opportunities since I left higher education and my few close pals went to Uni at the other ends of the country.

 

loneliness

i used to be like this mate until i met my ex girlfriend, i got very attached to her even though i tried my best not to, i'm no longer with her and finding it very difficult to adjust to how i used to be, it's the best way to be imo mate

Weren't you at a party the other night with that ginger bird?
Is that not social interaction?
You're probably looking into it too much

 

loneliness

i love my own company, only chance i get for intelligent conversation. nowt wrong with being on your own as long as you can interact with others if you needed too or chose too.

Get yourself on pof bro... All lifes problems can be solved temporarily on pof... If you don't resemble a baboons ass

Dux, it was a simple observation, and started up the thread for a bit of healthy debate / talk with others..

And yes Dux you are right, I was at a party, but one out of probably two a year!

I could see myself getting very attached to someone if I met them which is not healthy for yourself or the relationship I guess!
