So waiting for my account registration to be approved here, I started to think. Why join? What can I add to the conversation, what can I say that hasn't been said before? And what can be said to me that I haven't heard before? The only answer I can come up with now is that I need to see, to read what I think. To start realising where I am and why and whereto now?
Who:
I am a 32 year old man, living alone. My social contact with people is based on work and external responsibilities. Loneliness is not new to me, we might even be considered lifelong friends. In general, I'm a positive person, able to hold onto hope in the worst circumstances.
Background:
Socially, I have no reason to be alone, other than preferring it.
Materially, though not rich, I have no reason to want more.
Emotionally, I'll get back to you once I understand what emotions are (might take 200 years, check back then).
My life in 5 sentences:
Grew up in a small town, keeping acquaintances but unable to make friends, mostly living in my head.
Only now starting to connect with my dad, still no connection to my mother.
I work for myself as an IT contractor with (in my view at least) fairly good professional relationships and very few personal ones.
Every day after work I walk into my flat, relieved to be in the silence and solace of my home.
Every night I postpone going to bed, knowing its emptiness will remind me of someone I miss, someone I do not know.
Why here:
To tell me what I already know while hoping for one new perspective, one comment, one... kick in the ass. To get me to stop waiting (what for I still don't know) and start living.
Logic and emotions are not compatible. Balancing these two is like balancing a marble on a ball.
Emotions remind me that I am lonely and need someone in my life. Logic reminds me that I'm never more alone than when I'm in a relationship.
So Hi. Now you know me. Wow, still reading? If you need a positive word, talk to me. If you need logic, objective advice, talk to me. If you need emotional support, talk to the forum
