Hello,
I'm new to this. I'm really not even that familiar with using forums. I just read them a lot and lurk.
I joined mostly because I really don't have any friends. To make it worse, I moved to a small town... a high retirement town and i'm in my 20s. I'm used to the city where even if I'm alone, I can find something to do. There really isn't anything here and other than orange groves and old people. I also work from home and I have no reason to leave my house other than to get groceries. The few young adults around this area seem to be burn outs with terrible oral hygiene and have no goals in life.... Which I guess I can't blame them as there are no job opportunities other than retail and food service and the closest city is 1.5 hours in all directions.
Maybe I'm just too picky and self righteous about who I become friends with... but I don't think I could make friends even if I tried. When I was still working in the office I never really clicked with anyone. Everyone else seemed to be friends with each other. When someone would talk to me, I would have no idea what to say. I felt like if the subject wasn't work related, then I don't know how to appropriately respond because all things that I have to talk about are depressing and I don't want anyone to know how depressing my life is. Now I work from home and the only way I know that there is no zombie apocalypse is if I need to go grocery shopping.
