It's hard. I used to have a rule not to go out as friends (or date either) any of my co-workers. Now I'm down to 1.5 friends and this new woman at work wanted to go out "partying" at a bar. It takes me some time to "warm" up to people and I've just worked with her so far ONE time. PLUS, or I should say minus, I'm just not a bar person. I never drink and drive and I just hate the bar scene. I ended up going with another co-worker (my .5 friend) to a knitting/crochet get together - I'm never going back, but that's a whole other story. I do a lot of solo activities - knitting, coloring, video games if I had the time, movies, reading. Now, school is getting in the way and it's all online so I feel even more alone in my misery. My other 1 friend is working all of the time. My only real socialness is right here. Is that sad? I want to go to antique stores again, but my Ma isn't walking so well. I never thought that I ever really needed any friends cause I do like my alone time, but now that I don't have hardly any friends I just want to cry.
