is it just me that feels completely alone? dont get me wrong, i do like quiet time and not having kids to look after but my uni friends are all in diff parts of the country, or travelling. it just feel somtimes everyone else has got really close friends whereas mine are more lik aquaintances. i did have a girl but since we split i lost the person i trusted and could talk to about anything. ...she wasnt right for me in hindsight but at least she listened, most people these days dont wanna know. i thought itd be easy to make friends and meet women. how wrong i was

Seriously though, i enjoy my own company, it's other people that tend to **** me off.

have you ever thought about talking to someone to go through issues and what makes you so wound up and whether there are better ways of coping with things.

Maybe it'd help to learn to be happier in your own company rather then getting so frustrated at the bahaviour of others.

Your students union may be able to help as they usally have people who can help you talk things through.

I remember some years ago thinking I was gona go mad when the few closest friends I had were on hols at the same time so I had no one to talk with for 2 weeks.

Some years on and I realise that was nothing sometimes 2 months go by and I've not had a conversation these days. I don't make too many friend but when I do I make them for life. Today while with one of these friends I realised she's very sociable but moans about the people she spends time with. I learned something about myself today that I would rather be alone than spend time with people I don't really like or feel comfortable with. But she makes the effort to be with people, wether she likes them or not??

I made some new friends recently & they invited me away for a weekend but I couldn't go because I wasn't comfortable with their company for some strange reason.

Anyway my point being - if you're like me you choose your friends/aquaintances wisely for sincerity, where as some people are more superficial and will spend time with anyone for the sake of it, it seems.
