Hello everyone. An older post of mine that describes my background:
http://www.alonelylife.com/thread-h...ut-shutting-everyone-out?pid=229496#pid229496
To update, I feel like I've hit rock bottom... but in a good way. I finally broke ties from my girlfriend-- I really didn't want to, I tried so hard to marry her and have a family with her, but I think in the long run, I'm better off without her in my life. I finally have a job-- it's below my skill level, and it doesn't pay well, but it's something that I'm more than content with after years of unemployment. For the first time in a long while, I feel optimistic.
I'm in my 30s with no friends after a depressing relationship and demoralizing job search, but I want to rebuild somehow, and feel better about myself for once.
I never used Facebook, because I was preoccupied with the ugly end to my military career, and the terrible relationship I was in. Does it not "look good" if my page has no friends or any activity? It's not that I want to show a false image of myself and pretend that I haven't had a ton of bad luck, but I don't want to turn people away prematurely. How can I make it presentable when I reach out to people I know? Or should I just not bother with Facebook?
