me and boyfriend of a year and a few months broke up the other day. it's just for a while until i sort my life out, and we're still friends. but i've recently discovered that without him, i spend all day at home on my laptop while he's out at night with his friends. he says i can tag along with him, but underaged drinking and winding up home in a police car isn't really my idea of a fun night out. my best friend from secondary school doesn't really talk to me anymore because he has a load of "cooler" new friends, and all my other friends are either closer to my boyfriend than they are to me, or have boyfriends of their own and i daren't ask them to do something incase they reject me. i want him to see that i'm not a complete loser, and that i can have fun without him. but what do i do?!

You are going through a hard time right now, and it seems like when you were with your bf, you might have neglected your own personal life a little...maybe this is why you are broken up, or why you are taking a break.
I would take this as an opportunity to really do some things for yourself. Do you have an hobbies? Take an art class or yoga class or cooking or something YOU like to do? Even join an online book club? I don't know what you like to do, or what made you happy in the past but look online for stuff in your area. It may be hard at first if you are depressed to start something new (this is what I am going through personally right now). You could volunteer somewhere like an animal shelter, hospital or charity...this would fill your time in a very good way AND allow you to meet some new people. It sounds like your friends are more interested in getting drunk and looking cool than being a real friend. I guess you are in your early 20's as I am, and let me tell you, this is a serious problem for 20-somethings! Real friends are hard to come by, but if you are patient and focus on yourself and stop trying to look cool in front of them, things will work out. Keep us posted. *hugs* |

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