The last therapist i saw two years ago pushed me to be social and make friends. But it's just not one of my goals. I don't have any friends and i don't miss them. I'm nearly 50 now and the other women i meet just want to go on and on about their grown kids and grandkids which i find so boring. I mean, their families are essentially people i do not know and will never know. Why would i want to hear all about them and all their news? They drone on and on and then look into my face expectantly, as if it's *my* turn now to tell about *my* family. Well, eff you, i don't have a family!

I do have an interest in making a Scrabble-playing friend but so far out of the three people i have asked all have rejected me. Most people say they are too busy. Whatever. I can get my Scrabble fix playing strangers online and in-person at my club. I have my dog and that's enough. I read the above post about making friends in a club and i never had any luck. In fact, one player complained to me recently about her 'crazy' relative who 'must be bipolar and doesn't even work.' HELLO!!! *I* have bipoar. *I* don't work. People are so ignorant!
