It's amazing how effortlessly i've given up socially. I used to try so hard. I used to race around the city to singles events trying to find a partner. I used to attend support groups and community center events to try and make friends.

I'll be 50 this year and somewhere along the line i just gave up. I have no interest in finding a partner and very little interest in friends. I attended a speaker meeting this week and i just walked out after without a word to anyone. I know people were organizing to go out because one guy said, "Let's go for brewskies." Socializing seems to revolve around alcohol and i value sobriety.

I felt fine walking home by myself to my sweet little dog.

Has anyone else found the pressure to be social evaporates with age?
