Alone. No friends. No girlfriend. Estranged from my whole family.
You'd be surprised. It could be Christmas, and hubby and I complain that we have to see the family again.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to scoff at that. That's nuthin.
How estranged? Did your family 'leave' you for something they thought you did, or do you just not get along with them?
I never got along with them. I dont care about that anymore though. I just dont want to be alone my whole life.
Ok, lemme hear how anti-social YOU are!
In school, I was walking to find an empty table to sit at. A girl at another table saw me and said, "You can come sit with us if you want." I politely declined.
You could try joining some book clubs if you read, or maybe some sci-fi clubs where people meet in person. I used to go to sci-fi conventions all the time. I had a real blast.
Not realy anti-social but I am ultra-intoverted and ultra-shy. I cannot help it.
Hmmm....that sounds like you're shy to me, not anti-social. Try again.
Sure you can help it, that is, if you want to change it.
I do not know how.
If it was shy, I would have reluctantly accepted and sat with them and smiled sweetly but would have trouble saying anything. I was like that at one time, but no more. I intentionally avoid peoples' presence because I don't like being around them.
Check your mailbox.
Phil, you are being SHY!!!!!!!!! That's like right out of the How To Be Shy Handbook. Silly.
Shy people aren't like me. I'm actively unpleasant to be around. And I know it.
Also what helps is if you have overwhelming feelings of desperation, or depression, talking to a therapist is good, as long as you don't spend the rest of your life in therapy.
That's about a 2 on the Uniqueness Scale of Life. You'll have to do better than that, Mr. Original. :P
Why are you arguing with me about this? I would know I think. Why tell me that I'm not unique? That's an insult where I come from (besides I haven't told you everything...that would take an entire book's worth).
Okay
