Hi. I used to have a lot of friends on the internet, and then I became a different person and I don't relate to them anymore. It's been a couple of years and I figured that, instead of rehashing old roads and old frustrations with a bunch of people that I know (but don't like), I can find a new forum to be frustrated by a bunch of people that I don't know and might like.
So the basic gist - I'm a middle aged, unemployed IT guy with marital problems (which for the sake of brevity and everyone's sanity I will withhold for now). That being what it is, my r/l friends (of which there aren't many) are surely exhausted by my drama, but sometimes you just need to talk/vent/etc, you know?
I hate introductions because they always sound the same: "I generally try to be a happy person but sometimes life gets me down. I'm spiritual or religious or not and it works for me. I'm "kooky and wacky" and I come from a "kooky and wacky" family that's completely dysfunctional etc etc etc" blech - no thanks.
I'm just a guy that's sometimes a bit insecure, and feels that he was dropped into this life wholly unprepared. I feel like I've finally figured out some of the answers, but my spouse isn't quite on board. My recent unemployment is probably contributing (duh), but the problems have always been the same problems...they're just exaggerated right now.
I am exactly as up-front as I appear to be and I absolutely prefer people to treat me the same way. My feelings get hurt by people that lie to try to save them, and I highly respect anyone that can be honest without being belittling
I'm kind of just looking for a group of semi-anonymous friends that I can be honest and weak with...Wikipedia seemed to think this was an appropriate place.
