Help Support Loneliness, Depression & Relationship Forum:
I have always been a quiet person and it seems that throughout school and beyond I have always been sort of an outcast. What I have learned is that most people who take the time to know me begin to like me, but those who are not willing to get to know just like to judge. As I've gotten older these problems have subsided, but there are still a few immature idiots out there who never grow up.
I grew up in Michigan and joined the Navy after high school. I've always been fascinated with different cultures and lands in the world and enjoyed the chance to experience them. Back in the US though I've always been a homebody. In the Navy I had a hard time making friends, mostly because I didn't trust people until I got to really know them. Most people my age at the time wanted to go out and look for trouble and then leave you to fend for yourself if it came. Not true friends at all. This is where lonliness began to set in.
After leaving the Navy and coming back to Michigan I quickly learned things would not be back to the way they were before. My father died when I was still in the Navy and he was like my best friend. I realized that with him gone things were not the same.
I have always valued the moments that I spent with my family on vacations and weekend ventures, and that is what I always wanted. I continue to search for that special person to spend my life with and share quality time with. Many single people my age go out to look for one night stands to find happiness, that is not me. I will never resort to that. What I don't want is to keep going through life growing older and having people who I could have a potential relationship with blow me off. I don't want to keep sitting around the house on my days off waiting for something to happen. I have a great job and a number of other things going to keep me busy and that I enjoy doing, but I feel that my life isn't complete without someone to share it with.
Through my faith in God I will continue to move ahead.
