It's very strange to be doubted in such a way. Lying is far too much energy and worry for something that gives nothing in return. I don't believe there is any friend I've made here who thinks I would lie, but I suppose it's much easier to judge someone you don't know.

What a day though. That was certainly a beautiful experience.
 
I feel so much better, now I know she is working on his ward. I can't wait to get him home and comfortable again.
 
Please... let this weekend be the last to do all this catching up and socialising with family and relatives. I'm sorry, I just wanna hide in my own cave and do my own thing. :\
 
I never asked to be born. If you didn't want responsibility, you should have thought of it before having kids.

Where did all the time between 2008 and now go?

I hear that. I messed myself up very badly due to extremely pessimistic beliefs I was convinced were true, and it made me very unhappy. I really wish I could do it over again differently.




Entirely separate, and to no one in particular, but I'm getting really fed up with something. In a lot of the dating advice I read lately, it all seems to suggest something like "Bars and clubs good, video games and 'nerdy' interests bad". As if bars and clubs are the inherently correct interest to have, and if you are not interested in it, then you are the one with the problem. I feel like I'm in high school again - what the "cool people" say goes, and everyone else just has to deal with it. Screw that. One of the only things I like about being an adult is realizing that people like that don't have, and have never had, any real power over me. It was all in my head.

I don't know. I wouldn't mind going to bars occasionally but I'm just not crazy about it. And I'm not interested in clubs whatsoever. I don't like the music, the atmosphere, any of it. Mostly I'm just fed up with the idea that my interests are somehow "wrong" or inferior. That's been something that's been making it hard for me to have confidence, my whole life. I've only recently gotten past it.

Argh. I guess it's my fault for continuing to read it, and I should really make a better effort to complain less, but I just had to get this off my chest.

Your interests aren't wrong. They are YOURS, you get to decide what you like and don't like. You can meet people anywhere that has people.

But in all honesty, a lot of people your age go to bars to socialize and meet people, so it's not really a bad suggestion, just not for everyone.
I never cared for the bar scene myself, but you can meet people there. Not always the right people, but people nonetheless.
