Lonely Holidays

[The Depressed Shmoo]

Does anyone else always have to go on holidays (or vacation) on their own or is it just me? When I go on holiday (on my own) I always choose to go self-catering so I don't have to sit in a room full of happy holidaymakers at mealtimes. I don't go out in the evenings and going to the beach is a pain in the ass because I can't go and swim unless I take my hotel key etc in the sea, pool with me. When I get back to work I always tell people I had a great time(omitting the part where I slept every night with earplugs to drown out the sound of happy holidaymakers at night singing Agadoo while I'm trying to get to sleep because there's nothing else to do) Surely I'm not the only one who does this?

I'd never go on holiday by myself it would simply be too depressing. Good on you for taking the steps to do so. But I'm sure if I was ever to do it myself I'd be in the same situation.

Ditto Samba,

I have thought many times about going on holiday by myself. I don't for the reasons you stat here.

I have even thought about getting a camper van and touring round the continent. Something I would very much like to do. But what would I do every day and night? Just seat there on my own or in some bar on my own. Has anyone here seat in a bar on there own for any amount of time at all like when your friend your with gows to the toilet. You drink much faster then normal and the time gows slow. I have come to the conclusion that I am better of at home. At lest here I have the inter-webs.

Most ppl go on holiday with friends. So it is very difficult to meet anyone there to hang with why on holladay. And really you meet ppl better when there is moor of you anyway when you really don't need to meet other ppl. Also you would need to meet someone else to hang with at the beginning of the holladay rather then the end of it. I just think traveling and going on holladay alone would be no fun at all.


With saying all that I really do take my hat of to you shmoo.

i havn't taken a vacation alone ...hell I havn't really had a vaction for a long time.

Holidays totally sucks ass for me now. It started 5-6 years ago...when my GF lost
her god **** mind. I spent x-mas, 4th of july, B-days..etc alone stairing at the freaken
walls waiting for my gf to come home from the fucken casino
Or i'll just go to sleep to stopped myself from worrying about her.

It's totally weird for me now. I don't feel good or bad..I'm just not in the spirit or
they're just like any other days to me now...Kind of like a part of me is still numb
form all that honeysuckle or I don't expect anything anymore so I don't set myself up for a fall.

I still go out and inneract with people...mostly just with poeple from my support groups...not really
a social party hardy life style I used to lived.

It's actaully hard for me sometimes..I have to force myself to go just to do that.
If i feel bad or stressed I don't want to be around people.
Kind of like how I'v feeling for that past couple of days.
I think people are fucken retarded when I'm in a zone like this.

You know...write all the fucken curse words in the sand near waves so people don't know how you really feel...FFS
mmmm...There's not a beach near by...and sometimes i do a slipped of the tounge...such as..."fresia you dicken" or
Flip a fucken bird.
Not good...so i isolate.

ive gone as far as having a couple of weekends away seeing bands down in glasgow
had perfectly good fun, could go for japanese food instead of mcdonalds or whatever

going on your own definitely has plus points

im even planning a big adventure in japan once my health is strong enough and my money jar fills up a bit more

id never get myfriends to go for a wander round tokyo, their idea of a holiday is "adult weekend" at butlins

would be nice to have a likeminded companion to come along but ive got no problem going by myself

cheers
Gav.

I have a hut somewhere in the mountains area, I use to go there anytime I get some free time, makes me feel so relaxed, that fresh air... though I never stayed more than 3 days
