  • I appreciate your kind words.

    And you pretty much nailed it on both fronts.

    I listened to some shrink talking on the radio probably over a decade ago. She mentioned that it wasn’t abnormal for her patients to say they don’t know what they enjoy.

    I matured late and had kids young. My kids are adults now.

    I don’t have hobbies or interests. I’ve been busy working .

    My boss pissed me off the other day. I could find an easier job. Maybe take a pay cut.

    What else would I do though?

    I don’t have hobbies, I don’t really want one. I don’t have friends, and I never really wanted them. I do have family and people who love me don’t worry.

    I don’t have friends, hangout spots, hobbies, TV shows I binged. I don’t even know what I like. So I guess I work? I should probably find something. Not mineral collecting but maybe trains?


  • I mean yeah but that’s a different kind of unfairness.

    What I’m talking about is one person being hungry while another person is forced to eat food when they aren’t. You’re more talking about someone who doesn’t deserve a multiple course meal.

    Knowing I’m going to mostly throw this shit away and not enjoy it while there are other people who want it sucks.


  • This kind of thing always seems so unfair to me. They were writing a book and meeting new friends. Meanwhile I’m so damn tired and ready to rest. I’d give you’re friend 10 or twenty years off my own life if it were an option.

    I wouldn’t hurt myself, I’m just saying another 30 or forty years seems so daunting…there’s people who want those years and that’s unfair.









  • You aren’t worthless and you can grow as a person thru lonely times.

    It might’ve been easier for me going thru it as a teen. I was pulled from school and homeschooled, in the Texas countryside. I slowly lost every friend I had in school and there was literally no one else to talk to but my family.

    I have a great family, but it wasn’t a warm family. My mother was a very stern and logical woman and my father worked out of town a lot.

    They both loved me, but my point is I spent years entirely alone.

    I took walks and read books. It got easier.

    Decades later I’m still kind of a loner but entirely by choice. As an adult I get flirted with and hit on often. I’m very careful about who I date because I don’t need it. I’m fine being alone now, I only date someone if they are adding something to my life.

    It gets easier being alone, you eventually start to prefer it.
