Hello, Filoboy.
You should register! Thanks for offering to chat with me, you're a dear. For some reason I can't get yahoo messenger to work on my computer. But you can find me on AOL instant messenger or MSN as SillyOphelia.
I am presently on the east coast. Why do the party people bother you? Because they are boisterous or because you want to be included? Or both?
19 is a tough year for everyone. You're straddling both youth and adulthood and plunged into the "real world." Things will look up though.

Hey Sweetie thx for the reply and I do apologise for not replying earlier it was around 3am in Australia when you replied. Mind you they were well behaved last night these young peoples but I guess being alone and lonely especially on a Friday and a Saturday night and seeing other people have so much fun while your at home being miserable and cravings for social attention overwhelms me with jealousy inside. I ask myself why I can’t have this much fun, or live a lifestyle of a party. It’s also because I was feeling fine even though I wasn’t doing much during the mornings and arvo I wasnt down at all and this happens is like a legitimate proof that my situation is really bad. Its only when I’m alone and you see other people have fun you kinda ask yourself could there be something wrong with me? Why am I stuck in this situation? Are they just bastards in general or is there really something wrong with me.
Sometimes it’s to the point that it really is embarrassing so I close my window, the colour blinds and my lights so they won’t see me a poor loner with no friends, and it doesnt really help if your living with your parents. Mind you that neighbour of mind across the road is also 19 but lives with his hot girl friend, has a nice Holden Commodore and he seems to have all the friends in the world and a social life that I can only dream off. It feels like the grass is always greener on the other side and muddy on my side. I ask myself (lol I ask myself too many things) or tell myself **** that looks good, how does he get that for such a young age, how did he score a girl like that, where did he get or find all his friends, how did he get the money to buy this car, why was he blessed with good looks, WTF my parents have been working their ass of for more than 30 yrs, and he’s only been in the workforce for only like less than 4 yrs and can afford a mansion that his garage will dwarf my house alone. Maybe he’s renting because I’m pretty sure that at 19 you’re still too young to own your own home in Australia.
Now it’s a Saturday and things are just about to get worse in the next few hours. For the last six weeks, weekends have been one hell of a rough tough ride. I know that there are millions and millions of people are going to be out tonight people whom I can be friends with, which makes me incredibly lonely, people whom I can actually get to know but I really don’t have any cash to be spending on booze, the cover charges and considering that the city is too far and public transport these days are expensive and I’m too shy I guess I’m going to spend another lonely Saturday night.
But its good that most of youse are staying away from drunken parties, its not good believe me. It might feel that these drunken people have a million friends but they are not true friends at all. A perfect example I stopped drinking for six weeks and none of my ‘FRIENDS!’ bothered to check up on me. Its only when I stopped drinking and going to bars and clubs that I don’t have any friends. Anyways I’ve found my new sets of friends in this forum, ill pour a glass of red wine on my glass and say Cheers to us who’s gonna be lonely on what it seems like another lonely Saturday night.
Being a 19 yr old is so tough everyday of being 19 is like having to last a long endurance test. In high school things were so easy all I really thought about is getting good grades, and I didn’t had that much of a social life. Only when I left high school that I realise that this is a real potential problem. Back in high school we didn’t really care about what we wear cause we wore the same coloured yucky brown uniform, but then its only when your in public when I started to become really self conscious about what I look like, when I started to become fuzzy with my hair and really picky about the clothes that I should wear. Leaving high school also ment that your out there in this crazy, scary world design by the big guns whom you look up too such as your managers who drive fast cars, get all the friends they want and get laid anytime they wish.
It’s only at the age of 19 yrs old that I start questioning and trying to find the answers what’s my purpose in this world? whats my place/position among the other people in society? Will life get better for me or worse, or is it that I shouldn’t ask for more that this is my fate and this will be how good it gets. It’s at this age that you feel pressured by society to be somebody, to do extra ordinary things but if nothing works out then that’s when you tell yourself that you are worthless. And it doesnt help when your family and parents who suppose to be supportive, are instead critical of you of being a failure. I know I have some good qualities in me, but im just so blinded by it because I compare myself with everybody and its not good because in the end its all just a one horse race, its just a race against yourself. I never had anyone told me that I was beutiful, that i was good at something and right now my self esteem and confidence is reallly low.
A question for you wendi when you turn 20 what did it feel like? Did it made you feel old to know that being 20 makes you halfway to becoming a 40yr old? Does life get better in your 20s??
