I'm very down today so it's not a good way to introduce myself. Grateful for finding this site.
I live on my own, in my forties, I think the world has gone mad. No one has any time for anyone anymore. I'm a busy person so I understand about not having much time, but I'm still polite to people, etc.
I phoned up a friend for a chat. He works for himself. He hardly had time to talk. We talked for ten minutes, but it was all about him. He got inpatient as soon as I started telling him about my day, saying how little time he's got. He did say though that everyone is computer crazy and don't talk to their neighbours anymore.
I don't even know what I'm saying right now, I'm so alone, nearly all the time. I know lots of people but none of them behave in a way I would consider 'normal' socially.
For example my girl friends.....they never phone, never invite me over for a BBQ on a sunny day, never really want to meet for coffee.....but they love getting my advice online when something goes wrong (and I give it because it's a chance to have someone to talk to)
My family, they live far away but regularly travel to my area to go camping. It never occurs to them to give me a call and suggest I drive over to their campsite for a chat one evening, or meet them somewhere. I'm an easy going person, I've been told many times and I do believe it, I'm not a difficult person to be around. When I tell people how things are they don't understand because they say I'm no trouble, I'm a nice person, never outstay a welcome or anything....
*sigh*
I chose living alone, but I didn't realise people would be so hard to come by as I got older. Also I had a major bereavement a few years ago.......
That's another story. It's as though some of the people that should care about this just don't.
Sorry to be such an Eeyore, lol. I promise I can be fun as well, I have a good sense of humour and I am good at helping others. I can often live really happily and positively on my own. Usually that happens once I resolve not to talk to anyone for a while (because like my friend above, their insensitivity upsets me and brings me down). Then my mood lifts and I start doing all the good stuff that's also possible when you are alone. Writing poetry is one, I'm also in the middle of a book, or just enjoying my space.
Thanks for listening. I look forward to 'meeting' you all
