Hi GreenMoss. Thanks for sharing.
I feel for you, itīs hard feeling stuck and not knowing how to proceed in life. Is it hard finding jobs where you live? I think there are a lot of jobs that donīt require that you work with people all day long if that doesnīt suit your personality. But it could be hard finding such a job depending on where you live of course.
I think you create a more rewarding life together with someone who really likes you, I would probalbly feel the same as you if I were to meet someone and go on a date. Because Iīm unemployed I feel a bit like a loser and thatīs partly why I donīt take the step and go out seeing someone.
Is there any specific reason youīve found it difficult to keep friends? For me the reason is much about me feeling friends donīt care enough and that they often have other things they prioritize and I therefore often feel I donīt matter that much to them.
Iīm also comforted by books and movies but sometimes my loneliness consumes me and I just cry and feel even more stuck in life.

I do work but not at a job that is emotionally good for me. (I'm extremely sensitive & introverted and I work with the public) Work is about all I do and when I get home I have no energy for anything else. I do worry that if I did meet someone I was interested in that he would be turned off by my lack of experience and my uninteresting life. I've never been able to maintain a lasting friendship. I also feel like I don't fit in. I've been able to content myself through books and movies when I'm alienated by real life. |
