Do apies have a life ?

I think it's a POV thing. You can't not have a life unless you really believe it. I use to think this because when I wasn't at the socially normal levels of my peers in high school. Today I find I'm content with keeping to myself and having a few friends who are able to tolerate me more than having a bunch of people on Facebook who would have a short temper with me in real life. I'm calmer and more relaxed being on my computer on Saturday nights than I would be going to the bars and drinking. Nothing should define what constitutes as "a life". Society has a way of making us believe we will be terrible if we are alone.

A life is what best suits you.

Some good positive comments here.

However I am not in possession of the ability to not feel terrible because I am alone. I can't cope with big parties, but I enjoy small groups of friends. But getting together with other people doesn't happen as much in my life as I need it to. I'm terribly lonely. I feel like it's making me ill.

It's like being hungry, but not knowing how to obtain food.

When I run into people I haven't seen for a while I find that I have nothing to tell them, no answers to questions like have you been on holiday this year?

I really don't feel like I have a life.

I have a life.... just haven't gotten to the social part of it yet.
