no offense, but fuck that shit. damn near my whole 26 years of life, the only person i've ever really had IS me. i'm sick of it. i don't have much of a family left (any who aren't toxic, natch), whichever friends i make i seldom see (and it's been that way my whole gotdamned life). it'd be nice if for once, just once, that i have a friend or somebody who's around that i don't see only once in a blue moon or around the holidays or during a designated time. i'm more than used to bringing myself outta things--my life's built on that. why can't somebody else help for once? I can sympathize with this. I know how you feel. | |

I am sorry you are feeling this way and going through this. I do not have many family members- only close to my mom so I know what you mean about doing it alone. I am so used to doing every thing for myself that when after 35 yrs I found someone that wants to really help me and hold my hand- some times I find it is hard to accept the help. I hope you find your way and I hope you realise you have friends that care about you here.  | |

The fact remains, sweet lady, that we have to create those things for ourselves. not exactly...my whole relationship with people seems to be like either i'm the last to be told about stuff, or i'm forgotten completely. it ain't like i'm friend repellent or anything. s'just how it is.  | |

But you seem to be overlooking one point for another. All the things you say may be completely true. It is also true that we can continue to try new things in order to get what we say we want. One of those things (for me at least) that is most effective is to stop affirming and confirming negative things all the time. I believe that we create our reality in part by what we repeatedly say to define and describe it.

But that's me. even with all that, it really doesn't happen for me. never really has--i've been in a lotta situations, in the past and on a daily basis, where i'm surrounded by new stuff and new people...but it always ends up in the exact same place. kinna reminds me of the times when i was a kid and my dad would see me sitting in the house all the time, being the little bookworm that i was and he'd be like "go out and make some friends!" i would...but then they'd just go and i'd be back at square one, sitting around the house. i'd hold up my end of the friendship deal...as for everybody else? i know of the "friends come and go" shit, but it's absolutely ridiculous for me. | |

But that's me. I think of you FM when my new boss says "shhh if we say it- we will bring it!". She will not let any of us say anything negative around the office. You might be on to some thing... 
How did Chris end up with such a smart lady?? | |

There are people who take it to a pathological extreme, though. (your boss, maybe?)  There's nothing wrong with telling it like it is, you know. Balance.

Well she too has her moments- as we all do. I tend to go to the negative side because it is what I have been taught since birth but I am really trying to work on that. It is a constant struggle but I will keep working on it. I know I will never be happy bubbly sunshine girl- ever- like you said- it is all about balance. | |

Well, I have been in your shoes ~ for 55 years~ and I know that at the end of the day, we all only have ourselves. It sounds corny, but we need to find happiness within ourselves first before we can expect to find it in others.....once again, been there done that..... Sorry you are having such a difficult time....I was trying to help. "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."

I was reading my horoscope today and I wanted to share this with you.
Gemini If a part of your heart is feeling empty right now, consider filling it with people you have never met before. In other words, sometimes the best way to feel more loved is to show more love to people -- for no particular reason. Whether you volunteer a weekend morning to pick up garbage by the side or the road or just pay a bridge toll for the car behind you, doing something nice without expecting anything in return will give you more in return that you could imagine. I think it fits here.. hope you feel better soon

i suppose it was meant for me to be alone, as opposed to having others around a lot of the time. | |

you can always sing along to this song..  j/k
Woke up this morning Closed in on all sides Nothing doing I feel resistance As I open my eyes Someone's fooling I've found a way to break Through this cellophane line Cause I know what's going on In my own mind Am I living in a box Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living in a box Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living in a box Life goes in circles Around and around circulation I sometimes wonder What's moving underground I'm escaping I've found a way ... I've found a way ... Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living in a box (living) Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living in a box (living) Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living in a box (living) Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living am I living am I living Am I living am I living am I living (In a box) Am I living am I living Am I living in cardboard box Am I living in a box Am I living am I living Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living in a box | |

I know you don't need art school to be an artist. We all know that you already are. But it would open doors for you, and hook you up with a big group of the type of people (creative, interesting, engaged) you want in your life and aren't finding in your current situation. I know, I KNOW, there are a million reasons not to do it. But. . .do they automatically cancel out all of the reasons TO do it? If not art school, some similar venture? oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

Hang in there Hands...
Try something different, just to break up the routine. [Edited 3/9/07 17:35pm] Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

Things will change & you will feel differently about it all, this is just something you're passing through right now. You'll be on the other side of it soon enough. And I'm diggin' the art school idea - community is good for the soul    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Sorry your going through a slump.
Do you get like this a lot? Or is this new? I'm just asking cuz I'm usually very outgoing, but this past winter has been really rough on me, and I went through a total anti-social thing. I'm just now snapping out of it. Maybe its the weather? Maybe now that the sun is shining more, you'll be more motivated? Do you like to do outdoorsie stuff? | |
