Hi,
Just done the Sanity Score and came out with an OK 63. Unfortunately, in self-esteem I'm a 92! If that wasn't chronically low, then I'd be sane

I've been fortunate in that I've managed to keep the same job since I left Uni. If it wasn't for my job keeping me on the straight and narrow, I'd dread to think we're I'd be. I am shy, have low self-esteem and, at 40 have never been in an adult relationship. Yup, I'm middle aged and have never even got to the Dug-out, let alone first base!

Being in a situation like that can really screw your head up. Essentially I'm a hermit and can't think of any way out of it. The advice you get goes along the line of "find a club or interest". Unfortunately, I really do find socialising difficult (last time I went to a pub or out with friends/colleagues was probably over 4 years ago and that was a work Christmas Do). I used to roleplay with a few workmates once a week, but that stopped when one of them moved country. I've considered a local gaming club but that has the problem of meeting new people and probably being full of school kids. No other clubs really spark an interest.

I find myself going round in circles. Half of me wants to meet people and the other half can't.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
