I don't want to be me

Post Reply New Topic

I'm so sick of being alone. I've been too ill to go out for the past few weeks and I'm really depressed. All I do is commute to work, work, commute home watch TV and sleep. I'm so lonely.

Thus time last year I thought my life was going in a totally different direction. I'm so disappointed and I feel like now I know things won't ever get better for me. This is all there is and I hate it. I don't to be this person, I don't want this life.

You are not alone in feeling lonely.

I walked my dog today, we passed many couples out walking, some old but most were middle aged, I felt a sharp pain in my chest as I watched each pair.

Hand in hand, arm in arm, I'm just stood there feeling sorry for myself holding a dog lead.

Then I thought f**k them, I've got a dog.

Then a couple with a dog walked towards us.

I think things will get better for you hurtloam because you want them to get better. You know you are lonely and you want to get out there; in the past you've shown real confidence in that regard that I hope you can find again.

I don't feel lonely until it's too late to do anything about it. It sneaks up on me.
I also don't know what I want, but you seem to have a fair idea of the kind of relationships you need.

Hope you feel better soon I know that sounds really insincere but I mean it. I understand it's hard to feel better in yourself when you're depressed, it's hard to imagine that you even could, let alone work out how.

Have you tried doing something creative when you get home instead of/while watching TV. How about your painting?

Men are missing out, frankly, when it comes to you.

And I mean that!

^^YES!

^^ Yay!

Many men like women artists.

Most of the time, I have found, most men can get past your intensity (pertaining to certain topics) once they know, in their hearts, that you are not criticizing THEM.

What I'm saying, really, is that, frequently, it's the man's own insecurity which interferes with the attainment of a relationship, rather than something in YOU.

The key is not to "dumb" yourself when you're around men. The key is to encourage a dialogue with them.

Yes, it's true that men frequently are ego-driven, and are not hip to a true dialogue with a woman. You don't have to go down to that level, though.

But I believe one can attain success by rising above the "typical" man by being virtuous. This could very well sway the "typical" man to a respect and regard for you.

That is not a bad habit.

It's a wonderful mental exercise and prevents us becoming extreme, also it's good to challenge each other intellectually.
