marzipanbaklava pointed out over the Christmas holiday that I don't take my own advice. She's right, but I can explain myself. I will, however, not admit I'm wrong, my advice just can't be taken as an iron-clad rule ( Read more... )

I feel you muchly. I went out with my coworkers once and was mostly miserable the whole time. Even just carpooling with them and their incessant discussion of things I do not care about at all is driving me nuts.

Are there other places you can go to meet people?

Yeah…it's a tough call sometimes. You think, I COULD go hang out with those people, but I don't even really like them/think they're fun. But maybe I should do it anyway. And I've had the results go both ways-sometimes I'm glad I tried it because it turned out to be more fun than I expected, and sometimes it's just the opposite.

How did you New Year's party end up going, by the way? Ours was awesome, hope yours was too.

For real, how was your New Year's

It was pretty good, nothing crazy. We did shoot off some fireworks.

I didn't do much socializing over break either. I mainly stayed home and tried to make a bedroom in the basement. Also painted the robin egg blue and mustard yellow basement bathroom. Everything was such a far cry from what I had before, so much needed to be done.

I still think you should see this all as a sign to move forward to a life and home of your own instead of scrambling for the past. It stinks that you got pushed into transition before you were ready for it and left hanging, feeling like you've got nowhere to go, but I know you can handle it. Don't let yourself get bogged down; you're better than that.
