As long as you are happy in your life, that's all that matters :) However many friends you have, how often you see them or what you do, that's your business and no one else's! *hugs* You're not horribly alone, you just know how to keep yourself company, which is not a skill that everyone possesses, certainly it doesn't sound like your friend has it *chuckle*
Happiness is what counts! I recently realized I don't really have a single close friend right now (all my old ones have drifted away, and my new ones are acquaintances more than anything), I live on a different continent from my family, and my relationship is run via Skype 99% of the time. I also realized I'm pretty content regardless and am not even sure if I want to make close friends in a place I know I'll only stay for a few years
( ... )
Your life these days is so different from mine that it's quite hard to relate, but I do get what you're saying. I guess what I'm saying is that since I am so very immobile and only spend my time in one city, all the freaking time, I SHOULD have more friends around me. I mean... what happens once my parents die? Once Criss dies? It's very likely I'll never have any children to keep me company in my later years, so am I doomed to just sit in front of my screen day in, day out? I know, I know, it's foolish to worry about this NOW. I'm only 28 and the course of my life can still be changed in countless ways. However, I still think that most people would find me a total loner. Which is fine, I guess. I should learn to ignore opinions from outsiders.
I'm quite happy myself :) It's rare that I feel this good about my everyday life.
I miss you! I love that you still update your LJ every now and then even if you feel like you have nothing important to say. It's very much appreciated. Now go and enjoy your time alone!
I agree with the girls: it's not a problem, unless you feel like it's a problem. I mean, you do get out and interact with people, even strangers. I'd get worried, when you can't go shopping without an anxiety attack :)
I just spent three weeks of my holiday being constanly surrended by people, even if 'people' meant Riku and/or my family. One week consisted of a week in a boat with my parents and Riku. After that the fourth week was pure luxury, since I got to spend my days totally alone at our cottage. Just me, the scenery and a book. Heaven. (Sure, parents got home after work). I was so spoiled that I didn't even seek your company even though I was there the whole week and had the perfect opportunity to do so.
Now the vacation's over and I'm spending my nights alone again during the week. Having no problem with that :)
Yeah, I know. It could be so much worse. When I was younger, I couldn't even get myself to buy ice cream or ask for directions. I still don't enjoy doing those things, but I sure as hell do them anyway. (Though I must admit that when we're abroad, I still leave most of the talking to Criss -- which is ridiculous, I KNOW. I know English. I LOVE English. Why is it so bloody difficult for me to open my mouth and use it?)
I guess I'm destined to always feel somewhat weird about my antisocial qualities, because, let's face it, most people I know definitely DO go out, try new things and meet new people far more often than I do. But... it's me. Can't seem to change that.
