Hi everyone, my name is Tom. I'm a 26 year old guy living in London and I've not had a friend since before I was a teenager. I'm getting a bit sad in life now and I just have to talk to somebody about it. The internet seemed a good place to start and I've been reading these forums for a while now.
To start, I have a reasonably well-paying job which I am happy doing, a nice place to live and I have lots of expensive stuff which I can afford easily because it's not like I have anything worthwhile to spend it on. I done really well at school but I skipped university and got a couple of jobs before settling in where I work now which I have been doing for the past three-and-a-bit years now; I guess that's the advantage of having no friends.
For my job I'm usually by myself staring at a screen although I do have to give talks at meetings. I always give the impression to my fellow co-workers that I am a friendly and happy guy, but this is bad because when they try to talk to me they realise that I am boring and actually want to be left alone (a problem that goes back a LONG time).
The only time I ever see people for social reasons is for family occasions and they don't happen very often since I have a small family.
I have never had a girlfriend so it follows that I'm still a virgin. I only ever talk to women when I'm at work and that doesn't happen a great deal. It's frustrating because I'm clever and not ugly. I could ramble on about my pursuit of impossible women but I won't lol.
I have these periods of feeling really low. When I feel like this I can't leave my home and I just sit or lay on the floor feeling empty for hours. Afterwards it takes a while to feel ok again and It helps to watch something funny on the TV. Another thing is the voice in my head that constantly analyses everything that I do and says how bad it is which makes me stressed.
It turns out that an illness that I have could be caused by stress because I've been asked about my general happiness by specialists and what I do for fun et cetera. I had to shrug it off though.
It's not all bad though. Being alone has helped me to pursue my interests; I can now speak another language quite well and play an instrument. Every cloud, huh.
Anyways that's me done. It was hard to show my life in a few paragraphs because there's all sorts of messed up honeysuckle in it but who'd want to read it.
You all have a great day now.
